You’re like wait, girls, didn’t you just announce the second season? WTF. BUT, hear us out!

  • 25. WE’RE BACK BABY (And omg Marvel Rivals has been announced)
    Apr 15 2024

    SOUND THE ALARMS FRIENDS because in the words of the great and holy Logan Paul ‘the number 1 podcast in the world’ has returned! We are back and would I say better than ever? Ummmm, like no, probably not. We’re pretty much the same to be honest except Miranda moved back to Sydney and Morgan has developed a new interest in karaoke AND now knows a guy who got stabbed!

    We know what you’re thinking. A new season of Blood, Sweat & Games pod, what can we expect this season? Well babe, hopefully a consistent schedule. We have cut our usual ‘Inside Gaming’ segment to ensure we can produce episodes for you weekly and can lean into more of the gaming pop culture content we know and love, as well as fan fave ‘Should I Sweat This?’ (and most of the time to be honest, yah you should sweat it actually).

    This week in our first episode back we have come out swinging with some epic gaming news including the pending release of Marvel Rivals, dishing some tea on GDC and the continued mass layoffs the industry is facing.

    In ‘Should I Sweat This’ we ask some of the big questions such as is it considered cheating on your IRL partner if you marry your gaming friend in a game? And what happens when you’re better at a game than you’re crush?

    So buckle in and turn up your airpods high because the first episode of BSG Pod for 2024 is FINALLY here and we couldn't be more excited to see you (wait, did you do something different with your hair?) LOVE YOU, SAY IT BACK!

  • 23. Blame Game: Is there really a connection between gaming & violent crime?
    Nov 21 2023

    Hello our little gamer cuties and welcome back to the Blood, Sweat & Games podcast! This week we bring you an extra spicy special episode as we cover some hot topics in gaming and of course in classic BSG style, overshare about our personal lives… well Miranda does.

    In gaming news we cover it all including Sega announcing no one is in fact acquiring them after industry rumors have been swirling for months. We discuss the insanely bad critical reception for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 even though it reaches high sales. Next we cover the endless media argument and political debate surrounding gaming and whether it has an influence over young people encouraging violent crimes and school shootings after David DePape the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband blames gaming for his crimes.

    In the ever spicy segment ‘Should I Sweat This?’ We have some juicy reader submissions including a successful streamer and her copycat friend. Should she overlook the blatant stealing of ideas or is it time to call her friend out? We also have a boyfriend struggling with his gamer girlfriend and all the men from her discord chasing her… a tale for the ages!

    Lastly in ‘Inside Gaming,’ Miranda dishes out all her voice over tips and tricks from herself and some of the hugely successful Valorant voice actors! Truly not to be missed!

    So buckle up tight kiddos and pop in your air pods, because BSG Pod is here with another unmissable episode for you! Love you (say it back!)

  • 21. GAME OVER: Mass layoffs in the gaming industry
    Oct 16 2023

    Hi besties and welcome back to Blood, Sweat & Games pod. Did you do something different with your hair? You are looking gorgeous! This week is a little different because we have a special guest host on the pod as our gal Morgan is still in Atlanta working on her secret project (all will be revealed soon!)

    Our guest Host is Meg, better known under her streamer name Megg sounds like egg. She's a London based streamer and is her username a bit strange? Sure yes. But is she also very successful, smart and also a bad ass gamer and streamer? Also, yes!

    After meeting at Valorant Champions, Meg and Miranda formed a friendship which led to this very episode and are now further united by both knowing the same toxic man? What a way to form a friendship!

    This week on the pod things get juicy as we discuss The Goose House controversy after one of the servers' founders is outed for his sexual harassment of many female streamers including some minors. We also discuss the massive layoffs facing the gaming industry.

    In ‘Should I Sweat This?’ We have a streamer struggling with low views and a toxic discord server (another one, holy heck!!!).

    In ‘Inside Gaming’ Meg discusses her epic growth in the industry, making money as a full time streamer, working for Riot, hate comments and more!

    So buckle your seatbelt and turn the volume up because BSG Pod is back with another episode for you and it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!!!

  • 20. Unity Death Threats - How does this impact Game Devs?
    Oct 2 2023

    Hi friends and welcome back to Blood, Sweat & Games pod. We’re so glad you’re here. This week we bring you another hard hitting episode- because what are we if not investigative journalists?! (just gossips tbh)

    This week in Gaming News we discuss the much anticipated release of Final Fantasy 7 the rebirth. We also discuss the extremely spicy news about game dev engine Unity after they temporarily shut down their offices due to death threats. This comes just days after their shocking announcement of new runtime fees. What does this mean for small to mid game devs?

    In Should I Sweat This we discuss an overworked Twitch moderator and a cosplay friendship, are they just social media friends or can they be friends IRL?

    In other news Miranda was the villain in a bagel shop and Morgan is in Atlanta working on a new secret project… watch this space!

    So settle in, put on your favorite Hello Kitty pajamas (Morgan and Miranda love Hello Kitty okay?) and pop in your airpods because BSG Pod is back with another juicy episode for you and you don’t wanna miss it! Love you, say it back!

    Sep 12 2023

    Hi friends and welcome back to Blood, Sweat & Games pod. It’s great to see ya! This week we bring you another banger episode punchier than the hate comments on our Instagram from incels (fans!) Don’t you just love being a woman in gaming?

    In gaming news it’s a big one, we talk Valorant Champions after Miranda meets Ben Affleck and Elon Musk, holy shit! We discuss Starfield after the director announces that players will need better tech to enjoy the game (just stop being poor guys)!

    Video game Stray is in talks to become an animated movie based on the hit indie game and in a pretty surprising move Roblox forays into the dating scene (okay pop off queen!)

    In the ever-spicy ‘Should I Sweat This,’ we discuss some big topics including a girlfriend deciding whether to pick up her life and move to Seattle after her boyfriend lands his dream job in gaming and a queer discord server figures out how to handle a member that won’t respect someone's pronouns… yikes!

    So settle in, pour yourself a hot chocolate (maybe add some Baileys... up to you) and get to listening because BSG Pod is here with a banger episode and it’s a fun one!

    Love you (say it back!)
