Iron Lords Podcast

Hosted by Iron Lords

A weekly roundtable of four hosts known as "The Lords" who discuss the latest gaming news, share hands-on impressions, and interview developers.

The brief

This is a long-form, multi-host gaming news show with a distinct roundtable feel, blending industry news analysis with personal gameplay experiences. The hosts, who go by their "Lord" titles, engage in detailed discussions and debates on topics like game pricing, studio news, and upcoming releases. It's less of a formal review show and more of a running commentary on the state of the gaming world, broadcast live for several hours each week.

The show's "four lords" persona, complete with a "Hear ye, hear ye" town crier intro and Lord Cognito's opening freestyle rap, gives it a unique flavor. Their internal "Lord Publisher" fantasy draft adds a recurring competitive segment that personalizes their industry predictions.
