Nah, I'm with you. Like, is this 30 minutes of football talk now? Can I skip this? Would be ok if they had timestamps, I think.This is an ***incredibly*** low stakes complaint that I absolutely do not have very strong feelings over:
I wish they would stop ending the podcast and then keep going for 30 min. Just.... end the podcast when it really ends (as in, 30 min later). Please?
You could use the YouTube version, which has timestamps in the description.Nah, I'm with you. Like, is this 30 minutes of football talk now? Can I skip this? Would be ok if they had timestamps, I think.

The description of the latest episode specifically says "Stay tuned after the outro for the weekly NFL check-in." It seems like they're committed to keeping it there, so it'll probably always be post-outro on the Monday episode.How would I know that they are only going to talk about football? Guess I missed it, should they have mentioned it. It's not the worst thing in the world, but not exactly my favourite change lol
thank you for all the good advice. i have decided like an idiot to disregard it all and start again from the beginning because i am a moron
Oh man. Lots of love to both, and I'm glad Austin is taking care of himself 'cause I've always got the feeling he's a pretty hardcore workaholic. Bummer for the podcast as it's already felt a bit skeletal since Natalie left, but I'm looking forward to seeing what both of them do from here. I really hope they can hire another non-male podcast voice though.Big Day https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/austin-shifting-responsibilities-a-goodbye-to-danielle/24058/2

I'm happy that Austin is getting some well-deserved rest but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't gutted. Looking forward to seeing what Danielle is doing next but she'll be missed on the podcast and I agree that they really need some representation beyond what they have now.Big Day https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/austin-shifting-responsibilities-a-goodbye-to-danielle/24058/2

Oh geez, Danielle I could have predicted but Austin is completely out of left fieldBig Day https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/austin-shifting-responsibilities-a-goodbye-to-danielle/24058/2

Three years later and that's all she wrote. He never should have left Giant Bomb.Big Day https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/austin-shifting-responsibilities-a-goodbye-to-danielle/24058/2

I adored Austin's time with Giant Bomb but I'm glad he left. He had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start something brand new with a handpicked staff in an industry desperate for new ideas and fresh voices. It would have been insane to not take it.Three years later and that's all she wrote. He never should have left Giant Bomb.
He got to be EiC. I doubt he has regrets, I would've done the same. But tbh I have no idea what this move means for the audience? He's still gonna be on the pod, will still be writing, just not as much (I wasn't reading Vice Gaming anyway). Is he still working there or not? I'm finding this pretty confusing. Long term this probably doesn't mean anything good for what was once WaypointThree years later and that's all she wrote. He never should have left Giant Bomb.
If I have learned one thing, it's that "I'm still going to be on the podcast from time to time" never works out.
Yeah, it sort of feels like an admission of the direction things were already going. Austin's announcement was a surprise, but at the same time it kinda isn't a surprise, you know?Yeah, like. Danielle's been gone anyway. And I'd already given up regularly reading Waypoint written articles. So mostly it's the same for me, #content wise.
It does matter that Austin isn't the boss anymore. But then, he never seemed super in control under Vice? Waypoint felt pretty constrained for two years at least.
She had left Vice Gaming and was more of a general editor for their Vice Reports section, I think. She was still on the occasional pod but that was really it on the Waypoint side.What was Danielle doing? I haven't followed, and I don't listen to Waypoint Radio as much as I'd like (more recently tho)
Basically working on stories about young people for Vice Reports. Teenage activists, athletes etc.What was Danielle doing? I haven't followed, and I don't listen to Waypoint Radio as much as I'd like (more recently tho)
He's not an employee, he's a contractor for the pod. He said he doesn't even have a vice games email anymore.I'm still confused. Austin is leaving, but he's still, what, freelancing the pod? Or is he still employed by vice, just in a less capacity?
