"Re-Establishing Physical Connection After Isolation."

Eight days away from a Gamescom reveal that is anyone's guess at the present moment, Albert and Nav dive into some (mostly) sound and informed speculation as to when, where and what will appear from Conan O'Brien's already-filmed Clueless Gamer segment for Death Stranding. They also engage in some good old mind's eye cinema, each sharing their predictions as to how exactly the game itself will begin. Enjoy!

Welcome to Death Stranding Podcast - your source for news, analysis and discussion centred on the upcoming title from Kojima Productions, as well as the game's incomparable and unique creator Hideo Kojima, and his many eclectic inspirations.

DSP aims to showcase Kojima's work as an intricate and nuanced intersection of diverse subjects, from film to tv, philosophy, manga, science, history, technology, art, poetry and more, and explore the ways in which all of these have collectively served to make his games all the more universal, enduring, and quintessentially human.

Both bodies of work - Kojima's own, and his seemingly infinite array of influences across all media - are worthy of their own separate ongoing discussions unto themselves - but when taken together, both are immeasurably enhanced as a result.

DSP's ultimate goal is, likewise, to enhance the audience's appreciation and experience of Kojima's art and his influences, by revealing and delving into the connections (strands) that exist between them.

Video Games (interactive art/entertainment/storytelling) are a legitimate launching pad for wider and deeper learning about ourselves, each other, and the world we live in. Of all the forms of media that exist, games are closest to real life - both games and life are inherently interactive experiences that require active participation and engagement for them to be what they are. When this unique and profound connection to the human condition is tapped into and leveraged properly, games truly have the potential to be the most enriching, moving, and immersive form of art ever.
