VGC: The Video Game Podcast
Nick Calandra and Yahtzee leave The Escapist... an exclusive interview!
•
In a VGC podcast special, Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw and Nick Calandra join VGC’s Jordan Middler to discuss their new venture, Second Wind.
Formed following Calandra’s dismissal from The Escapist (owned by Gamurs Group), the team has already amassed almost 200,000 YouTube subscribers before ever releasing a video.
In this podcast, we discuss what led to the dismissal, the future of Yahtzee’s Zero Punctuation review brand, and how you fund a large team in the gaming media space in 2023.
