SpawnCast

SpawnCast is the audio version of the weekly news roundtable from the Spawn Wave YouTube channel, hosted by Dom and a small group of regulars who have been covering gaming hardware and industry news together for years. The show is news-heavy and unapologetic about it. Each episode walks through every meaningful story of the week, from console sales numbers and earnings reports to leaks, lawsuits, hardware revisions, and the long slow drip of Switch successor rumors. The hosts skew toward hardware specifically, so discussions of GPU architectures, manufacturing yields, chip shortages, and what a given patent filing might mean tend to go deeper than on most gaming shows. Opinions are strong and the hosts are not shy about calling out PR spin or pushing back on hype cycles. There is also a steady undercurrent of skepticism about subscription services, always-online requirements, and the broader trend toward platforms over ownership, which gives the show a clear point of view that returning listeners come to expect. Episodes run two to three hours, which is a lot, but the conversational pace makes the time go quickly. For people who want a thorough, hardware-literate weekly news show with hosts who clearly love arguing about the business of gaming, SpawnCast delivers consistently.
