About the DLC Podcast

The original DLC Podcast was a bi-weekly-ish podcast that ran for 10 years, from January 2011 to March 2021. It was a series devoted wholly to video games and the industry at large, discussing all sorts of issues from silly to serious, and open to anyone who called themselves a gamer: casual, hardcore, didn't matter.​

In 2022, DLC shifted from a traditional pre-recorded audio podcast to a live Twitch show, where they once again continued to talk anything and everything video games, opening the show up to anyone who wants to join in, and for the first time, had listeners directly take part in the discussion as it happened, and this went for six episodes, with the last one coming in 2024.​

In 2025, the podcast returned to its main audio-only roots, with episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, DLC's YouTube channel, and, as always, right here on the website. New episodes are uploaded approximately once a month. 

Regular Players

Brian French, host
For over 30 years, video games have been a part of Brian's life. The blood, sweat, and tears he's spent involved in the medium have yielded some of the most engaging and enriching experiences one can have. He began Downloadable Content in 2011 as a way to share some of those experiences with as many people who also share a deep love of video games, who also want to share their thoughts as well.

When he's not busy at his day job, he can be found tackling his immense perpetual game backlog on Steam (user name ERoivas) or his various consoles, or pursuing his passion for photography. Recently, he's taken up streaming -- you can find him streaming as ERoivas on Twitch, mostly on Friday evenings. 

Ron Goldie, co-host
Some of Ron's earliest memories are playing Space Invaders on his dad's Atari 2600, and has been hooked on gaming since then. Growing up in the heyday of the early Nintendo vs. Sega console wars, witnessing the birth of the PlayStation, all the way to today's greatest and newest titles, he has spent literal years of his life with a controller or Game Boy in hand. His love of games crosses over to PC games as well, enjoying various ARPGs like Diablo, indie games, MMORPGs, and the occasional MOBA.

When his hands are not busy saving the galaxy or thrashing a monster, he spends his time creating various things of his own. Whether it's drawing things for himself or people that commission him for stuff, crafting stories, rules, and settings for various tabletop games. He's even dabbled a bit in writing stories from time to time. It's not a bit of an exaggeration to say that if he isn't playing a game or making something, he's either asleep, eating, or working. His passion for gaming remains steadfast, and it helps cement his role as the co-host of DLC.

Veronica Faye Whited, panelist and occasional guest-host
Veronica is DLC's overly analytical, acerbic little trans gremlin. She started gaming in the 80s with a used Atari 2600, and never looked back. Her special interests are plot heavy franchises and indie games. From Deltarune to Hollow Knight, Final Fantasy to Control, anywhere you find an immersive world, engaging characters, or a driving plot, is where you'll find her.

About the only thing she likes more then playing video games is talking about them, which makes her an ideal fit as a regular panelist (and occassional guest host) for DLC. Now if only she could keep her episodes shorter then the runtime of the Lord of the Rings... When not playing video games or discussing them for the podcast, she can be found running her homebrew campaign setting, catching up on manga, or writing speculative fiction.
