"I Had A Special Surprise Prepped And Everything..."

On this entry, I explore the possibilities of what everything we saw at TGS 2018 might mean for Death Stranding, along with diving into and offering my analysis, dissection and commentary on a whole host of ideas and speculations from the Death Stranding community, including (without a doubt) the most intricately meta-infused theory yet...

👍🌈🦀🐟🐋🐬☔️👶💀

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 philosophy, to manga, physics, art, poetry and more, and explore how these have 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, they are immeasurably enhanced as a result.

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

Video Games (interactive art and entertainment) are a legitimate launching pad for wider and deeper learning about ourselves, each other, and the world we live in. Of all forms of art, games are closest to real life - both are inherently interactive experiences that require your active participation and emotional 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.

"She Who Sees..."

On this entry, I discuss Léa Seydoux's character, as well as the cultural, folkloric and geographical significance of Iceland to Death Stranding. I also explore an all-encompassing/extensive/comprehensive hypothetical scenario for both the narrative and 'community & connection' mechanics which this title looks to be shaped around.

"...Headed Into Town?"

'It must be lonely out here.' Hey everyone, hope you've all been well. I had to process a significant amount of emotional overwhelm as I recorded this, and also returning to recording after a while in general...this may sound a tad sappy, and feel free to liberally roll your eyes, but I'm just so grateful to have this space (IAV) to ground with you all, connect back with myself, and with each of you listening in, through this truly life-and-medium enriching material. It's very easy for me to feel alone in this endeavour, but hearing from you and seeing your engagement with this material, observing how closely you resonate it and the particular way in which this outlet treats it...it is beyond reassuring. Beyond kindred...I'm truly, sincerely grateful. This is my shot-by-shot, deliberate (slower paced, as is my MO) examination of this latest glimpse at the genre-defining masterwork-in-the-making, Death Stranding.

"Another Set Of Curtains Shall Open..."

An enormous, sun-eclipsing wave approaches...E3, the eye of the interactive medium's year-long storm of growth, creativity and innovation, is mere days away, and Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's feverishly anticipated new title and his first major original work in over 30 years - is the dead centre of that eye. As we head towards our 'E30th' episode (which will publish mere hours before the Sony's conference begins), tune in for this eerily calm (yet still feature-packed) run-down of all the final whispers and rumours revolving around Death Stranding...8. Days. Left.
