With E3 2019 now firmly in our rear-view mirrors, Lauran sits down with guests of SuperCoolCast past to talk about the biggest event in videogames. 

With so many games on show, which ones got us all hot and bothered? And how come some were mysteriously absent?

But it wouldn't be an E3 Round-up without asking the age old question... who won E3?

All this and more on the SuperCoolCast E3 2019 Special!

In the latest episode, Lauran chats to her friend and mentor, Gary Carr of Two Point Studios. Listen in while they cover bloaty heads, mucky feet, deliver a eulogy for Fable Legends and Gary reveals what it's like to work alongside Peter Molyneux.

Strap in for a whole lotta laughs as Lauran is joined by Game Society Pimps members Aaron and Emre. Join them as they discuss the genesis of their online comedy empire, the perils of mixing VR and alcohol and the waking nightmare that is Kinect Disneyland Adventures. See you all at EmreCon!

Have you ever wondered about the connection between Lady Gaga and 2011's Bodycount? Wonder no more! Join Lauran and her latest guest, Liam Cullen, Art Director at Perchang as they discuss Liam's long and storied career and reminisce about their time together at Codemasters.

This episode Lauran sits down with Montreal's own Bunty King, a sometimes controversial but thoroughly charming online personality to discuss his ear-burning passion for videogames, the disconnect between creators and consumers, and knowing when not to pander to the vocal minority.

So what exactly is an 'esports?' Join Lauran as she sits down with legendary CS:GO commentator Henry Greer (HenryG) to talk about his unwavering path to Counter-Strike greatness, the potential pitfalls of talking non-stop for ten hours a day and CS:GO's custard pie meta.

Hey look! The SuperCoolCast is back! We’ve got a whole new season lined up for you and we’re kicking off with an absolutely epic interview with the genius behind Noclip, Danny O’Dwyer.

Don’t be fooled by Lauran’s newly minted professional veneer – she’s the same old rambling host you know and love. Join her and Danny as they discuss Danny’s career path through the world of games journalism, how to find your voice as an influencer and loads more.

And a word of caution – there’s an awful lot of F-bombs packed into this 105 minutes!

Way back when, in May 2016, I was due to host a Rocket Jump Event in Guildford. At the last minute I had a message from the organiser, Dan, to let me know that the headlining speaker had pulled out at the last minute and did I know of anyone that may be able to take their place. With just a few days to go until the event itself, I started racking my brains. I had been kicking around the idea of starting a podcast... and when I started to think about whether it would be possible to trial run the podcast at the event my heart started beating insanely fast, which tends to mean I'm on to something and regardless of the fear I should do it.

I contacted my good friend Jess, pitched it to her and asked if she may be able to put a powerpoint together of her entire career in the next couple of days. She could. My heart started beating even faster. I was about to trial run my podcast, bitches!

Jess and I did an excellent interview at the Rocket Jump Event, which you can find on the 'info' tab of this website, and she promised me that when the company she'd just started had an announcement to make she would come and interview for the podcast FOR REAL... and here she is! With a very exciting announcement about what she and the rest of Salix Games are working on...
