Remap Radio

by Remap Radio

Remap Radio is a new podcast from the creators of the long-running video game podcast Waypoint Radio. Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve loved listening to the crew since the waypoint days. Absolute best long form discussions of the news with great insights into gaming as a whole. Highly recommended!

Best games podcast in the biz. Come for thoughtful discussions and critiques, stay for omegaverse sports fan fiction

oldest millenial · Jan 2026

5 star show 5 star run time. From waypoint to remap this team has kept my interest and love for games for years. But it is not just the video games, it’s the social commentary, the own self criticism of habits in and out of gaming and also just how hard it is to exist in these times. A good laugh and a great opinion on what we call gaming. As my interest in gaming content has highs and lows I always come back to listen to the cast at remap radio. Thanks for all you do!

LiverDiet · Jan 2026

Excellent perspectives on games and the industry. It’s especially fun when they disagree, I appreciate they can respect each other while still fighting their corner. Love the deep dives, love the squirrel-distracted tangents.

KnitterIntheUS · Mar 2025

mostly inoffensive, sometimes charming! but if you have no familiarity with waypoint/weren’t invested in their particular subset of late-2010s twitter parasociality, all you’re left with is millennials giving the same takes on the same games & news that you can find on any other podcast/games publication homepage. it’s at its best when doing deep dives into niche war games or dumb corporate heuristics, but is mostly 2 1/2 hrs of the hosts reading their bluesky feeds followed by a hollow “fight the power”-esque quip (or, more commonly, an equally milquetoast 10 minute tangent). not trying to be mean, these seem like nice enough people. just don’t listen for months hoping the brief flashes of something interesting will become more common– they won’t :/

mr.windupbird · Feb 2026

Enjoyed the show for a while but the episode lengths stayed growing and growing to the point where casually listening through an episode will take several days for multi hour episodes. Some of the tangents the hosts go on end up lasting so long that the podcast ends up feeling unfocused to a point where I feel like my time is being wasted.
