Remap Radio is a new podcast from the creators of the long-running video game podcast Waypoint Radio. Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.

  • The waypoint b team

    Still definitely has its moments and the streaming content is often still fun, but the podcast just doesn’t justify its runtime anymore. Janet and Patrick are great across the board, Rob has some great insights when he isn’t self indulgently rambling about being a cartoon version of himself (which is most of what he does now), Chia is….here (great editor, fine streamer, knows a lot about certain genres of games, great writer, doesn’t add much to the podcast), I was so stoked when Danika came ba... more

  • Isn’t worth it anymore 😔

    Listened since the beginning of the waypoint days and unfollowed the show today 3/4/26 😭 breaks my heart to say goodbye after this many years. we had a good run but it’s just …uninteresting now. I agree wholeheartedly with the politics of the show and I like the people on it, they just seemed to have lost that sauce of how to make it interesting to the listener.

    I’m glad they didn’t get the waypoint name, it would be the way I feel about Giant Bomb today

Worth Reading: The Manbreaker and Masculinity
Q: How does the Manbreaker function as a culmination of the game's ideas about challenge and narrative?
It scales from minutes to an hour, culminating in a moment where a single mistake can reset progress, forcing players to confront why they persist and what the act of climbing means beyond completion.
Worth Reading: The Manbreaker and Masculinity
Q: For people who haven't played Baby Steps, how would you describe the appeal of Baby Steps and its hooks?
The guest explains his long-time fascination with Foddy's design and how Baby Steps uses a normal action made extraordinarily difficult, producing a rare flow state and a narrative that rewards perseverance and self-questioning rather than conventional achievements.
