"My Body May Be Present, But MyΒ Soul Is On The Beach...I'm Already Dead."
Welcome to Heartman's cozy underground library-lodge! Pull up a padded chair and settle in, because on this episode, Albert is joined by Nye - an indie game developer, eclectic soul and fellow Kojima appreciator - for aΒ wide-ranging and in-depth analysis-chat of the latest Death Stranding glimpse: the already-iconic HEARTMAN, performed by Darren Jacobs (Ford Vs. Ferrari) with theΒ appearance of Kojima's long-time friend, Nicolas Winding Refn (Too Old To Die Young, Drive). The importance of open-mindedness, patience and connection in the age of immediacy, demand andΒ entitlement is also discussed, as well as breaking down some of Kojima's latest Twitter film mentions, and much more. Enjoy!

Welcome toΒ Death Stranding Podcast - your source for news, analysis and discussion centred on the upcoming title from Kojima Productions, as well as the game'sΒ incomparable and unique creatorΒ 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.
