Caster Calls With ZombieGrub

JessGOAT is a Rainbow Six: Siege analyst and commentator and also recently dabbled in Valorant casting. She's won awards for her work on broadcasts and continues to push herself (and the broadcast) to the max. In this episode, we talk about her history in competitive shooters, when she fell in love with R6, and her transition from coach to on-air talent.

* Apologies for the sound quality, Zencastr broke again so I didn't get JessGOAT's mic upload. Some very good discussion is still had so hopefully it's not too bad! *

DarthArma is a Mortal Kombat commentator and runs MK NJ. This episode was a fun look into the fighting game community that exists outside of the popular Smash Bros community. It's instantly obvious that DarthArma's passion for the MK community (as well asthe Injustice community) runs deep, and is a real testament to just how home-grown the FGC is.

Frankie burst onto the e-sports scene only a few years ago, but in that time she has made herself one of the best hosts/interviewers in the industry. Was really excited to talk with her, as her background is a lot more "technical" than other e-sports talent. We discuss her time working for the BBC, how she got into on-camera work coming from a production role, and how she elevates interviews from just "the necessary thing" to something that can be the highlight of the tournament.

In this episode of "Caster Calls" I talk with Jason Kaplan about the tough decisions made in the e-sports industry. We start off talking about Jason's roots in the early days of LoL and CS and move on to the challenges of the profession, such as when to decide to retire from being an on-air talent or how difficult it is to accept that building a brand is part of the job. One of my favorite episodes so far.

Like many e-sports veterans, Axeltoss got his start by casting StarCraft 2 and working with MLG. Upon MLG doing away with their SC2 division, Axeltoss moved into other e-sports and more of a host role. In this episode, we learn that sometimes timing and being in the right place really is everything, and that e-sports is all about looking forward and being open to new opportunities.

Frodan got his start in StarCraft 2 after being given a chance to cast NASL on short notice. While it meant not finishing university, Frodan decided to take a risk and become a commentator. It wasn't exactly clear sailing from there, but eventually he landed on his feet as a premiere commentator, host, and Twitch community manager.

Smix got her start as a translator on TL.net back during the Brood War days, and like many of the most famous and skilled on-air talent that we have today, found herself "falling into" e-sports as a career. While many of us know her for her hosting and translating in SC2, she became a staple of the e-sports world by becoming a host for CS:GO...also somewhat by accident. We talk about her beginnings back in the BW TL.net days and how she transitioned from just translating to becoming a renowned interviewer and host.
