Welcome to the Indie Haven Podcast, where we get too sleepy to do all of our regular segments! Also this week, Elodie takes over from Josh as the chief derailer, we spend 50 years going through lists, discover a Vatican Calippo conspiracy, and David Cage falls off of a roof. It's chuckles all round!

We're back with a Zook-tastic episode for you, filled with thrills, spills, and existential dread-ridden monstrosities, oh, and this week's indie game news I guess. And yes I know I say in the episode that this would be up two days ago, but I was carried off by birds for a minute so you can't blame me.

The Young'ins of assorted gender are back in town for an intensely scatological deep dive into the worlds of Valve's baffling business decisions and that big video games thing with the three vowels, you know the one. Joined by an array of colourful characters such as Hatsune Miku, Chad Whimsy and Dave from Suffolk, the gang is back to bring you the latest indie game news and some rather interesting ideas for a new television program.

It's been 50 years but George and Elodie are finally back even though they're old now. On their geriatric journey they'll meet such colourful characters as Danny DeVito the pooping Na'Vi, Alfonzo (leave it to him) and everyone's favourite, New Character! You'll wish they'd never come back!

The Indie Haven podcast hits peak intrigue as infamous master trickster Wentworth Miller returns and lays down a curious gambit. To make matters worse, David cage has vanished without a trace and not even the BBC de-facto world police can track him down. Will freelance detective Josh Rivers be too busy decoding Edmund McMillen's soft-announcement of a new video game to crack the case? It's a thrilling rollercoaster of a show that's almost as action-packed as Men in Black, so strap in and hold on to your hats!

Oh yeah, and there's video games. We're a video game podcast. Snake Pass, etc.

Clown City! It's the city of clowns. It's on the rooftops every night, please.

Amidst yet more concerns over the Rube Goldberg machine that is Steam, the gang gets together once again to deliver the kind of top quality chat you've come to expect from the Indie Haven podcast. George comes bearing an immensely on-brand indie game pick of the week, Elodie mourns an insect, David Cage returns with some slanderous accusations, and Josh refuses to be silenced.

Oh, and another indie studio got threatened with a ludicrously spurious copyright lawsuit. What a surprise.

It's episode three of the Indie Haven Podcast, and obviously we're going to talk about Yooka Laylee. We also talk Steam Direct, and how we're not sure it's doing enough to solve Steam's quality control issues - and as if that wasn't enough, Josh fights through illness and the influence of painkillers to reveal the malicious and incredibly vague mind games that have been keeping him awake at night.

Elsewhere on the show: Elodie runs afoul of an unusual curse, George forgets some spiders, the crew chat about the games they wish had lived up to their potential, and David Cage is faced with an impossible choice.

We're joined by two thirds of the Fan Canon, a wonderful podcast about bad/horrifying fanfiction on the PodHaven network! Get ready for a raunchy ride through a franchise none of us knew a thing about going in and far too much about coming out. It's an audio nightmare!

On the very first episode of the IndieHaven Podcast Elodie Cunningham, George Johnson and Josh Rivers take on the Nintendo Switch, Narita Boy, Typoman, Dropsy and the inevitability of death. Fun all round!
