Media Molecule Podcast

After a bit of a break to get Tearaway ready for announce, we squeezed back into Kenny's recording studio for a new episode of the Mm Podcast! This episode allows us to finally talk about our new game Tearaway, and we've invited lead designers Dave and Rex to join us for some Tearaway Chat. Huzzizzles! If you want to send us in some Tearaway questions for the next episode, just drop us an email here: podcasts@mediamolecule.com Here are the episode links Tearaway http://tearaway.mediamolecule.com http://www.twitter.com/tearawaygame http://www.facebook.com/tearawaygame Jobs http://www.mediamolecule.com/jobs/ Elks http://www.mediamolecule.com/blog/article/elk_roundup/ Geoff Keighley's photo of our papercraft landscape http://instagram.com/p/OqxtdrIsGJ/ 30 flights of loving http://blendogames.com/thirtyflightsofloving/ Dear Esther http://dear-esther.com/ Soundshapes http://www.soundshapesgame.com/home/public.html Lollipop Chainsaw Massacre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRfroCeDk2E

It's the Jubilee Weekend here in the UK - our Queen has been sitting on her throne for 60 years, and so the entire country is celebrating with 50s themed street parties, and 500 million miles of bunting. If none of that means a thing to you, don't worry, because more importantly (to some anyways) it's also E3! The time of trailers and screenshots galore is on us once again, and whilst we at Mm are remaining at home this year, Alice, Spaff and Kenny are here to recount E3 tales of yore, and besides, LittleBigPlanet will be there.

We're off to a rambling start in this week's podcast, with questions about what exactly it is that Jagermeister's made of, and how it is that Scrooge McDuck ever managed to successfully swim in his pool of gold coins. But thankfully, for your sanity's sake (and ours), Kenny, Tom, Spaff, and Alice pull it together and dive into matters of utmost importance: various Scottish confectionery! The topic of the week takes us by surprise, as Tom reveals his childhood brush with fame, having appeared in a newspaper article about potential electrocution. Have you also ever made headlines? Send us your story to podcast AT mediamolecule.com! Also, please welcome LittleBigPlanet's new Community Co-ordinator, Steven Isbell, for his first-time Mm podcast appearance! We wheel Steven in to go over the LBP news this week, which includes Update 1.12!

And we're back with your second Media Molecule podcast for the week! Isn't that exciting? It is Easter weekend after all, and as we've missed you listeners so much, Kenny, Spaff, and Alice hop back into the sound cave mere days after the last recording. What is it like to see Obama punch a journalist in Mass Effect 3? How awesome is it that Alice has her white robe in Journey? And how dazzled are your ears by Kenny's use of 'ting'? You can find out by simply listen-ting! Last, but not least, this week's episode sees the second GDC special segment, an audio focussed discussion between Kenny and shiny special guests, Austin Wintory (Journey composer) and Brian Min (Double Fine Production's Audio Director). We hope you enjoy it!
