CREWcasts

Melbourne Twitch streamer Tehbebe (Sam) has been streaming FPS games for more than a decade, now three to four nights a week after a full-time job. She and Div talk about how she started, how she keeps her community a safe place to hang out, and the hard parts of streaming that viewers don't see.

Sam is a Twitch streamer from Melbourne who plays Counter-Strike and is learning Rust on stream. In this episode: growing up on her brothers' LAN games, streaming around a full-time job without burning out, and her advice for anyone starting a channel today.

Variety streamer Mop Garden moved from Toronto to Melbourne and built a Twitch community that looks after each other. She talks with Div about streaming to 200 people and still feeling alone, hate raids and burnout, why she never settled into one game, and how a fitness habit changed the way she shows up on stream. Also on the table: Rainbow Six Siege, Final Fantasy XVI, Subnautica, Donkey Kong 64, scuba diving, Aussie spiders, and the great corn in chili debate.

Sydney creator Sarah Jane Boas joins Div in the CREWcasts studio. In this teaser: there was Sarah, the person, and there was Sarah Jane, the persona, and the point where the two were so far apart that she had to find a healthy middle ground; what that did for her confidence, why she stopped needing validation from anyone, and the only three things she says matter in the end: your mental health, your physical health, and the people who love you.

Twitch streamer Tehbebe joins Div in the CREWcasts studio. In this teaser: growing up tripping over LAN cables while her brothers and their friends screamed at the screen, why mental health is the thing she advocates for, streaming to build a safe place where people can hang out, and the line every streamer should hear: know why you're doing it, because if it's for viewers, money or fame, the path will be very different.
