Do Video Games Belong in Prison?
Aug 19, 2026 · 35 min
Patrick sits down with Nicole Carpenter to discuss her article on the prisoners at Rikers prison and their access to video games. Which games are provided to them, and who gets to make that decision? They also break down the biases people carry about who should have access to games, and how that access changes the prisoners' day to day life.

Aug 18, 2026 · 2 hr 9 min
Are you a down bad enough sicko to watch NFL pre-season football? That’s the question that Patrick poses to Rob as they kick off a new episode of Sports!

Remap Radio 149 — Please Opt In to This Podcast
Ep 149 · Aug 14, 2026 · 2 hr 42 min
It is with a heavy heart that we share that the XCOM and Star Wars mashup, Star Wars: Zero Company, seems pretty good. You have another video game to play this year. At least, that’s what Rob told Patrick and Chia on this episode of Remap Radio, where we chat about turn-based Clone Wars, Twitch’s shockingly honest admission about AI, why nobody should work at Saber Interactive, the great time Patrick’s having repairing electronics in ReStory, and more.

Remap Radio 148 — It’s in the Game. Or Is it?
Ep 148 · Aug 7, 2026 · 2 hr 55 min
There’s little evidence the Electronic Arts going private because it’s being bought by a Saudi Arabian-backed financial group is good for the industry, but who was expecting good news these days? Rob, Chia, and Patrick mull this latest development, news that Sony isn’t giving back any tariff money, and talk about a bunch of games, including Chia’s adventures at GenCon and Patrick finishing 007: First Light alongside dumping a whole bunch of hours into Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation. Oh, and…
Remap Radio 147: A Portentous Pod
Ep 147 · Jul 31, 2026 · 3 hr 14 min
This podcast episode was born under a bad sign as avian wildlife besmirch Rob's finest attire shortly before the recording. After surveying a grim landscape of games, news, the gang sits down to a pretty good summer of games with Janet digging Townfall and Incident at Galley House, Patrick playing some really cool platformers, and Rob catching Super Mega Baseball Fever.

Samuel Horti on Super Mega Baseball
Jul 29, 2026 · 1 hr 11 min
Samuel Horti joins Rob to talk about Super Mega Baseball. They discuss its brilliant “traits” system, never-to-be-beaten difficulty settings, delightfully slippery pitching and batting controls, and the “just-enough” franchise mode. They also discuss whether the game is truly an arcade baseball game, or if it’s occupying space that hardcore sims began from in the SNES and Pentium eras.

Remap Radio 146 - Entomology Etymology
Ep 146 · Jul 24, 2026 · 3 hr 39 min
You’re getting the Fallout and the Elder Scrolls you’ve been clamoring for, eventually, along with the option to stream games to your XBOX DEVICE with ads, but you’re going to love them. They’ll actually contribute to the experience! Chia and Rob are getting absolutely worked in Marathon’s new Vaultbreaker PvE mode, while Janet contemplates her delight in the Steam Machine and her seething disdain for life in Pokopia. Rob’s loving life behind the wheel thanks to his new H-Shifter, and a newfound…
Sports! - World Cup Fever
Jul 21, 2026 · 1 hr 45 min
A beautiful game deserves a beautiful podcast, so Janet and Rob sat down to discuss the 2026 World Cup. Is Argentina that punchable or are people just tired of them? Does soccer romanticize a rags-to-riches pastime that is increasingly at odds with a stratified global sport that permits a dwindling number of real contenders? Can an event like the World Cup be ruined by the rancid politics of the host nation and amoral opportunism of its governing body? Where is Janet going next for her soccer fi…
Remap Radio — The Right Gear
Ep 145 · Jul 17, 2026 · 3 hr 9 min
When in doubt, use a bout of insomnia to justify the purchase of a fancy new PC accessory. Maybe this, though, will be the one that makes Rob’s dreams come true. On the latest episode of Remap Radio, Patrick and Chia remain a bit skeptical. Still, we indulge in much car talk, accessory talk, and eventually, game talk. Has EA already broken College Football? Has Rob ascended in Marathon? If a game includes AI, then removes AI, does that make it okay to play? Links: With Microtransactions Gone, It…

The Xbox Reset Is Here
Jul 7, 2026 · 1 hr 11 min
We knew Xbox was going to undergo a massive transformation, and now we have some of the details of what that transformation will look like. A combination of mass layoffs and studio divestments is leaving Xbox in a very different place. But what does the future like? What kinds of games will Xbox prioritize in the future? What does it mean to have ambitions of a billion players each day—and will that very priority ruin Xbox? Rob and Patrick unpack the latest news. See Privacy Policy at https://ar…

Ep 143 · Jun 26, 2026 · 3 hr 44 min
Sit down and prepare for a tale of woe, misery, and humiliation in the world of Marathon, before Rob, Patrick, Chia, and Janet go down a gunpla rabbit hole, try to figure out who the newly expensive Steam Machine is for, and share thoughts a number of games, including Silver Pines, Tethergeist, Star Fox, About Fishing, Iron Nest, and more. We also talk through an AI jump scare. Links: Gundam Assemble, Aftermath's Steam Machine Review, GTA VI Price Announcement Images: Janet's New Toy , Janet and…
Rob's First Costco
Jun 26, 2026 · 1 hr 29 min
Patrick, Mr. Kirkland himself, has made the trip to the east coast to meet up with Chia and Rob, which can only mean one thing: Rob's breaking in his brand new Costco membership under the tutelage of the master himself. Listen in as we wander the liminal space of the Costco parking lot, marvel at the sights and sounds of the Costco produce fridge, and pay our respects to the humble chicken bake.

Sports! — We’re So Back, It’s So Over
Jun 23, 2026 · 2 hr 23 min
Has it really been [checks notes] four months since an episode of Sports!? Don’t worry, your patience will be rewarded, especially if you wait until the end, when Patrick reveals a story he’s been sitting on for weeks that had Rob trying to avoid breaking his monitor. In more pleasant moments, Rob and Patrick weigh their options if a genie granted them tickets guaranteed to make their team lose, the NBA playoffs, and, of course, an early Bears season prediction.

Remap Radio 142: Entering Our 40's Era
Ep 142 · Jun 19, 2026 · 3 hr 12 min
There comes a time in every person's life when they must contend with the question: which golf game is for me? For Rob, well he and his dad spent some time this past week hitting the links in PGA 2k25. Patrick and Chia were both won over by a totally Normal Golf Game, (which they will make Rob play next week when the crew gathers at Highground). Unfortunately, there's only so much golfing that can distract from Xbox closing multiple studios, Epic putting AI in Unreal Engine 6, and Don't Nod teet…
Summer Game Fest 2026: A Diary (Part 2)
Jun 17, 2026 · 2 hr 29 min
Patrick’s third Summer Game Fest comes to a conclusion with the second installment in his two-part diary series, where he walks you through his thoughts, reactions, interviews, and observations from the show. Some of this was recorded from home, some was recorded directly on-site, reflecting the way so much of Summer Game Fest continues after the show is “over.” Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanc…
Remap Radio: Beard Boys Everywhere
Ep 141 · Jun 12, 2026 · 2 hr 59 min
Alas, it’s time to say goodbye to another round of trailermania, but in the meantime, there’s so much for Rob, Patrick, Janet, and Chia to discuss. Besides mulling the latest bleak news about the future of Xbox and GOG sending out weird emails, Janet and Patrick were at Summer Game Fest and walked amongst the video games, where there was lots of conversations about the AI alongside hands-on time with games like Alien: Isolation 2, Control Resonant, and more. Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestin…

Ep 140 · Jun 5, 2026 · 3 hr 3 min
Summer Game Fest is upon us! But before that, join Patrick, Chia, and Janet as they react to Sony’s lengthy State of Play presentation, and why some of the high-profile games left them feeling a little cold (even if they’re absolutely going to play them). Plus, what to make of Tomb Raider’s AI disclosure? What the heck is a “broughlike”? Do we really need a Rayman Legends remake? Plus, updates on our time with 007 First Light, MapMap, a slew of student games, and more. In The Question Bucket, we…

Ep 139 · May 29, 2026 · 3 hr 6 min
Breaking News: three members of Remap Radio are really enjoying 007 First Light, a new stealth/action/Hitman-esque game from the developers behind, of course, Hitman. But Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Chia are also enjoying and thinking about other things, including apocalyptic signs in the PC buying market, the return of “due to ongoing market conditions” (now with a jingle!), and questions about what it means to return to The Witcher 3 so years later. Plus, Patrick has dug deep into Mina the Hollow…
Mina the Hollower’s Long Journey Underground Is Over
May 28, 2026 · 56 min
The developers of Shovel Knight are, at long last, back with a new game—and despite the long wait, it’s absolutely fantastic. Mina the Hollower is a love letter to topdown games like Zelda, mixed in with elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and many others. It’s also had a long journey towards release, which was a topic of conversation during a recent chat Patrick had with Yacht Club Games’ founder and director Sean Velasco and programmer David D’Angelo.

The People vs. Bubsy 4D
May 21, 2026 · 46 min
Bubsy is an unlikely franchise to be receiving a new sequel in 2026. Bubsy 4D arrives this week, following one of the worst received platformers of all-time, Bubsy 3D. But is Bubsy 3D misunderstood? What did the original games do right? And why make a sequel, when you could make anything? Patrick went digging for answers with Bubsy 4D developers Fabian Rastorfer and Ben Miller to ask a simple question: Why? It has, of course, a nuanced answer.

Worth Reading: The Manbreaker and Masculinity
May 13, 2026 · 34 min
Welcome back to Worth Reading, where Patrick chats with people doing interesting writing, reporting, and criticism in the world of video games. This week, Patrick’s talking with Aftermath co-founder Chris Person and for the purposes of this podcast, the author of the excellent essay “Baby’ Steps Manbreaker Did Not Break Me.” Talking with Chris felt especially fitting at the moment, because last week, Patrick finally made it to the end of Baby Steps’ wild challenge.

Ep 136 · May 8, 2026 · 2 hr 55 min
Rob has returned from the world of F1 to join Patrick, Janet, and Chia for another episode of Remap Radio.
