Defining Duke, Episode 0: A New Era of Xbox Podcast

Here at Last Stand, we don't like to encroach on territory unless we think we can provide particular value for our audience. Back in 2018, we launched Sacred Symbols and KnockBack because we felt like there was a demand for high-quality PlayStation and nostalgia podcasts (respectively), but since then, we've halted our expansion. Yet, with a mighty promising 2021 (and beyond) shaping up for Microsoft's Xbox Series X|S -- and with our audience openly and regularly clamoring for expert Xbox coverage -- we felt like another opening has emerged. We thus humbly present Defining Duke, an all-new weekly podcast all about Xbox, by Xbox fans, for Xbox fans. Our co-hosts? None other than popular gaming YouTubers Matthew "MrMattyPlays" Schroeder and Jeremy "ACG" Penter. Defining Duke will go live each and every Thursday on Patreon (Sundays on free feeds) beginning January 7th, but in the meantime, we thought we'd introduce our show with an appropriate episode, one all about our most-anticipated Xbox Series X|S games of 2021. We hope you enjoy. Thank you for your support!

It's never been Wallah, it's Vwalah

Looking forward to this, have a series s, my first xbox since the very original. Looking forward to enjoying both it and a PS5 eventually.

David P

Great episode! I ultimately left the Xbox ecosphere last gen. I'm hoping this podcast and reignite my love for the brand again!

Korey Burns

Really enjoy ACG videos so this podcast is a lovely addition. Would love it to include more pc stuff aswell

Ian Ngo

looking to get back into the xbox ecosphere since I've been out of it since my 360 died. Had the original and the 360 through the 5th year and never picked up the xbox one due to its content issue and E3 bombing. Looking forward to get back into it and playing a few missed gyms from the xbox one era. Looking at you gears 5 and 4 I am happy to have both playstation and xbox podcast with cls

Wayde

Love the original Xbox. Hope you guys end up doing ‘best of’ and ‘memories of’ older consoles 🙂

Nicholas Perfect

Hi Matt and Karak, Congrats on your Double D premiere - you did a good job keeping it entertaining and engaging for what was (let’s be honest) just reading a list! I’ll be interested to see what you do with the show as you find your rhythm with it, I especially hope you’ll bring your personalities into it even more. It might be nice to have a “getting to know you” segment where one or both of you talk about something you love, whether it’s games, hardware features, or bagels! All the best guys and most importantly... have fun!

NJ

Matt Karak I've been subbed to you guys for year's. Love both your content. I'm so happy to see you guys part of LSM crew. I'm looking forward to listening this podcast now in the rotation. Keep up the great work guys!

Dragonpaul22

Great show! My lack of an Xbox will not keep this one out of the rotation for me. Looking forward to episode 1

Joe McPartlin

“They are short, like ball sack height.” 😂😂😂😂

Will Hahn

Karak is hands down the best game reviewer on YouTube

Brandon Hardman

Who da fook are these guys?

The Eclectic Gamer

Yall need a music intro.

There’s No I in LLC

What really made it feel real was Colin's credits at the end. I listen to the credits after every episode and can recite the spiel by memory, so hearing him say the name was exciting

Good first show guys Also y’all missed talking stalker 2 most likely the biggest third part deal Microsoft made

Adamthm

There were some technical issues because a new system was used to record this one. The audio isn't the best it could be, but it's FAR better than what it was before it was edited. Don't worry though, it's all worked out now and will be golden by the next one!

Ben Smith

Great start to the podcast!

Brandon Kirzeder

Holy shit, Microsoft’s exclusive situation is rough at best.

John

Nice! I haven’t owned an Xbox since the original back in the day so I won’t be listening but I’m glad people are excited!

Jake Whitaker

ACG has really evolved and is bringing some excellent conversations forward. Excited to see where this show goes!

Greg Mocha

Great show! I’ve been ACG-curious for a while now so I’m excited to officially become a fan. Also, don’t worry, Matty; let’s make an Official Dookie PSO2NG group and ensure that you’re never lonely again, lol!

Josh McKinney

Great show guys. I look forward to the coming weeks and watching the show evolve.

Nlindz27

I’ll pass on this. From my experience ACG has too many bad takes and gives off too many bad vibes.

Link

Great news! Two of my favorite YouTubers coming together to talk Xbox every week. Very much looking forward to this.

Prof JJJ

Series S and gamepass is a great value, highly recommend to anyone listening to this podcast give it a shot if they have the extra cash. Also it seems to be the easiest console to snag right now in my experience. Whenever it goes live it usually stays in stock sometimes for up to 5 minutes. Amazing right?

Benito

This is sick

Alex Bolton

As someone who plays on multiple platforms, I’m excited for some CLS Xbox news. However, I will voice my only concern. Sacred Symbols is probably the best sounding podcast I listen to. Fantastic audio quality. I realize this is just the first show, but hopefully we can match how strong and present the audio is on SS. Thanks for everything you guys do!

Ryan Rumsey

ACG?! I FEEL LIKE MY FAVORITE TEAM JUST SIGNED AN ALL-STAR

Dre Rams

Not on Apple yet?

Jason Billingsley

I’ve never been excited about Xbox, but this podcast right here might just be able to change that!

Jose Reyes

Haha, I kept wondering why ACG was being tiptoed around. I’m glad to see this happen because I’m a fan of both ACG and CLS. Best of luck to all!

Hawk_757

Love this episode and podcast as a whole. I will say, ACG did bring up a Switch/Nintendo podcast in here and that would be a great idea. There’s so much crossover between Xbox and PlayStation in terms of the style of games, but not so much between Switch and Playstation. Maybe something to think about. Either way, super stoked.

Anthony Palerino

Awesome congrats guys!

Simon Winstanley

YOU GOT ACG? 2021 is gonna be one helluva year.

Nathanael Haller

Congratulations, I’ve never played Xbox but I’ll give the new podcast a go.

Joe

Jeremy is the best reviewer imo and Matty is pretty much in line with the games I play. This is amazing. Great things to come.

Nick Vattimo

Fantastic announcements, finally Xbox content on C̶o̶l̶i̶n̶'̶s Last Stand Media.

King0fChickens

I just got into ACG this year and love his content. Great deep-dive reviews, love that he's such an RPG nerd. WHAT AN AWESOME ADDITION. When I heard his voice I audibly gasped, can't wait for this!!!

Ely Grubin

ACG is a solid addition, brings a unique point of view to every conversation. No one covers audio like he does. And as a Xbox owner I’m so glad to have something which offers something for that!

Greg Mocha

This is amazing. While I love Playstation, my true love is Xbox. I live and breath in that ecosystem. This is going to be amazing!

Anthony J Sanchez

I'm more than excited for this, thanks guys!

David Hicks

Great name for the podcast! Excited for what’s to come.

Samuel Mills

This is gonna be dope!

Remington James

It's actually very strange that Chris is not on this...

TheWirv

More matty is always a good thing, excited!

Justin Robinson

Woke up this morning to a nice an lengthy email. After reading it and hearing that, we will getting an Xbox podcast. This was awesome news, as now I can continue to get my Playstation news and Xbox news from my favorite community.

Mr. Joanna Dark

Seems strange to not have chris on there, but I guess he has his plate full enough

Guns vs Kittens

Hmm interesting, very interesting.

Andrew Morgan

This is FANTASTIC!!! Awesome job!

Lockmort

Jose Garcia

As an agnostic gamer I am very excited for an Xbox podcast. I love my XSX/PS5/ Switch.

Caleb Engle

This is excellent. ACG is one of the best reviewers on YouTube.

Forrest Hunter

Hell to the yes

Will Caldwell

Awesome, just when you think CLS couldn’t get any better!!
