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.

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?

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.LINKS

Worlds 2022 has come and gone, and a new champion has been crowned: Sokka234! We talk with Sokka about his historic run through the tournament, including:
The spicy corp decks that almost made the cut for the main event The World Champ Difference, aka, why cutting a card that boosts your win rate by 20% is the right call Sokka-approved tech for approaching a metagame with unfriendly matchups Why the biggest flex in Netrunner is also the most correct flex in NetrunnerIf that's not enough, also keep your ears open for the long-awaited return of one of our most cherished segments.

Worlds 2022 is fast approaching, and you know what that means... the Slumscast sends out an SOS to someone much, much better at Netrunner than they are in the hopes that at least one of the predictions said in this episode is correct -- namely, long-time stimslack mod and !noise meme originator bblum! Join our voyage as we discuss boats, including kill cards in your Weyland decks, boats, dril as a manifestation of the collective unconscious of Netrunner players, boats, the banlist, 7-point combo decks, and of course boats. Not on board with that? Worry not: we have one of the spiciest ban or nabs of all time this week. Ready? Ready. Let's ship it.

Slumscast cranks up the grill on our most controversial episode yet, featuring beefs, beef zones, and controversies galore. Come hear our and Cranked's hottest takes, from the decks that will take down Continentals to the open letters that may sink entire genres. Don't mind the sizzle marks, it just adds more flavor. This episode features:

In System Gateway, the Slumscast stumbled their way to the fabled Fountain of Scoops. This time around, we find ourselves in a much less hospitable climate: the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean itself. Thankfully, we're joined by NISEI designer/developer/narrative crafter Zoe "Gayschanel" Cohen, who guides us as we trawl the frigid water in search of new cards. Will we deliver the life-sustaining scoops to our families before the very large boat destroys them? Will Pants finally get to name a segment Akamatsu Mem Chip? Will we uncover the secrets of how narrative design influences game design, determine the worst Netrunner band, and discover the best possible musical in any timeline along the way? There's only one way to find out: tune in to the epic season finale of the Slumscast.

Have you ever been in a community? If so, this episode may just be for you -- this week, we chat with @tolaasin about community moderation, why it matters, and how to do it. Worry not, though, we have plenty of shitposts as well. Tune in to hear one of the most controversial Deckin' Bamboozled segments of all time, perhaps the longest Ban or Nab of all time, and get exclusive scoops on the Slumscast videogame, which will never be coming to a Kickstarter near you. Look at you, reading these show notes. This is how the magic happens. Where doing this, man. Where making this hapen.

IN A WORLD... where idiots design cards.
AT A TIME... when powerful forces are readying, collecting their strength.
IN A PLACE... where even the names of things seems to slip through your fingers.
ONE CAST WILL RISE... to tell the tale.
But, like, in 2022. Stay tuned.

Worlds 2021 is now in the books, and one player has emerged victorious to claim the title of World Champion: RotomAppliance! Slumscast sat down with Rotom to discuss his historic win, including: beating the entire world with a card that has your own face on it; the agonizing decisions that go into shaving the 61st card from your MaxX deck; and the most broken fair decks in Netrunner history. We also discuss two highly controversial predictions made on the most recent episode of Slumscast, which linger over the reputation of one of our co-hosts.

The Netrunner World Championships are fast approaching. Who will win? What decks will outperform their expectations? What will be the sickest play of Worlds? We don't know any of those things, but Andrej (of Metropole Grid fame) joins us in distributing some takes so hot they shouldn't be street-legal, and some takes so tepid they shouldn't be Slumscast-legal.
Also on this episode: how to create bad Netrunner content, and why it's important; the worst decks ever played at Worlds; and our first-ever listener mailbag segment, kind of.

The 2021 Off the Grid World Championships are in the books, and one Netrunner player has emerged above all others (except for one person): Kris, aka tzeenchling. We're here to dissect his historic almost-win, from the unexpected decks he chose to the corps he put in prison to the ankles he broke along the way. We also uncork our usual cask of hot takes, including the truth that no one wants to hear about the meta; unveil the first-ever Bad Card Of Forever That's Always Bad And You Should Never Play It; and officiate the triumphant return of the Slumscast segment that fans have clamored over for months.
