In the thrilling season finale of Season 2 of the Scoopscast, the Slumscast reached the frozen heart of the scoops deep within Greenland, only to discover their true target lay much farther south. This episode picks up after a 7 month time skip, finding the Slumscast in an unfamiliar location, Brazil, joined by a familiar ally, NSG Lead Designer Zoe "Gayschanel" Cohen. Will the Slumscast hosts learn how to navigate the twists and turns of political intrigue in time to corner the scoops market? Will they manage to evade detection by the forces relentlessly tracking them long enough to transmit scoops back to their home base? And perhaps most importantly: how will they manage to use their preferred long-running Shaper-related segment title when they have HB cards to scoop? Find out this season of The Slumscast, Wednesdays at 12pm on CBS. Note: This podcast does not have seasons. This is not a season premiere. CBS refuses to respond to our pitch emails.

Think back in your past. How did you first learn Netrunner? Perhaps you watched a learn to play on YouTube. Perhaps you watched a stream or attended a con. Perhaps you had a friend who gently explained the mechanics to you and guided you through a first few games. Today, we add an additional terrifying possibility to the list: perhaps you learned Netrunner... from the Slumscast. This episode focuses on the journey of Peter, a friend of the Slumscasts hosts who has never played Netrunner or even another competitive card game, to play a game of Netrunner. You'll hear clips from that game and our interview with Peter afterward, including: The most powerful Diviner in existence How a new player approaches the game, and what you can learn from that A genuinely adrenaline-filled final turn

The 2022 UK National Championships have come and gone, and one victor has Arthur'd his way to the Netrunner throne: extrac. We discuss several recent big wins with extrac, from UK Nats to the release of Parhelion, and answer a few common questions along the way: - Who would win in a fight: Tim Hortons or a pigeon? - What exactly is a producer, and what did they do to help get Parhelion released? - Is there something beyond banning and/or nabbing? LINKS - Leave a star and heart on extrac's UK Nats-winning corp list: https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/a15fa6e9-503a-44f4-9a5b-1678f55d889f/pigeon-fighter-iii-1st-at-uk-nats-2022

The last Slumscast scoopscast generated a fair bit of controversy. It would be inappropriate not to acknowledge it. We at the Slumscast can own up to our mistakes. We listen. We learn. We change. And in that vein, I would like to announce that we have responded to the biggest complaint from the past scoops season here in Parhelion: We have made the episode even longer. Ok, ok, fine. No more jokes or memes this week, because we're doing something pretty cool with the new scoops. In past scoops episodes, we've interviewed one person who helped make the cards and gone deep on their function -- what is designing cards like, how did those philosophies play into the specific cards we're scooping, and so on. Those have been some of our favorite conversations in the entire run of the Slumscast. But at the same time, they do leave us feeling like we're missing something--we're only getting one insider look into the cards, and there are facets of the cards that a single angle can't bring light to. This scoopsmas, we're declaring a miracle on 34th street in Nanisivik and talking to not one, not two, not three, but four people who helped make these cards happen. Join us as we go into unprecedented depth on four Jinteki scoops: Art Director Banknote details the finer points of getting the right illustration for a Netrunner card by zooming in on these cards' art. Narrative Director Anzekay spills the lore on what these cards mean for Jinteki in the Parhelion story... and Jinteki's creations. Rules Manager Jamie Perconti (InfiniteNutshell) illuminates the text of these cards, explaining some of their finer interactions with the rules of the game. Associate Developer Bilby reveals which cards went through a bevy of changes during development, which cards were born perfect with no mistakes, and which cards we should expect to see winning the next World Championship.
