CREWcasts

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. Full episode coming soon on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

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. Full episode coming soon on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Twitch and YouTube partner Patti joins Div in the CREWcasts studio. In this teaser: the hardest hurdle in streaming is the mental battle, the long stretch of three viewers that makes most people quit, trying new games and new things, and not letting the ups and downs of the last couple of years get the best of her.

Full episode coming soon on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Variety streamer Mop Garden joins Div in the CREWcasts studio. In this teaser: twelve years on Twitch, the first raid she banned because she thought it was an attack, and the line every streamer knows but nobody says: you're surrounded by 10, 50, 200 viewers and it feels like a room full of people, and at the end of the day you're home alone.

Singer-songwriter and Twitch Partner Mika Rose joins Div in the CREWcasts studio. In this teaser: being watched while you create never stops being hard, even after years of doing it, because the moment you're making something you don't want a voice in the back of your head asking whether it's going to be good.

Award-winning Sydney cosplayer Cinohrui (@cinohrui) joins Div in the CREWcasts studio dressed as Sciel from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, hand-built scythe included. Cinohrui has been cosplaying in Australia since her first SMASH! in 2008 and now judges the competitions she used to enter.

In this episode: how a build goes from 500 screenshots to a Gantt chart, why Australian cosplayers are the scrappiest in the world, the Zhuque Mercy and Kubo builds she is proudest of, the Alhaitham that never got finished, what judging taught her about her own craft, foam work versus sewing versus makeup, what a costume really costs, the dream armour build, a Bombo Quarry shoot she will not forget, her cat Toffee's contribution to every costume, comfort games, and practical advice for anyone starting cosplay for the first time: just do it.

Matty Wendo has hyped the crowd at Australia's biggest gaming events, from Blizzard's Warcraft 30th Anniversary world tour to PlayStation and EA game launches, ESL esports tournaments and the Fortress esports arena in Sydney. In episode one of CREWcasts, the professional MC and event host tells Div how he went from ten years in IT to hosting for 10,000 viewers at the ESL AUNZ Championship, and what it takes to win over a live crowd.

We get into how volunteering as a tech at a Counter-Strike tournament opened the door to esports hosting, the night a video game launch nearly fell apart and how he saved it, why humility is the secret to winning back a hostile crowd, how much of live hosting is scripted versus improvised, and why the Australian indie game dev scene is the lifeblood of gaming in this country.

Plus: the Aussie gaming scene versus America, hosting Blizzard's Warcraft 30th Anniversary in front of 500 people at Fortress Sydney, the Diablo IV launch, BlizzCon memories, building the ANZ Creators community, Battlefield 6, GTA 6, The Witcher 3, Dark Souls, The Last of Us, and why the Nintendo 64 is still the greatest console ever made.

Whether you're a streamer, content creator, esports fan or event host looking to break into the gaming industry, this conversation is full of stories and advice you won't hear anywhere else.
