This is your reminder that it’s June 25th. This means it’s only 6 months until Christmas. Which means it’s almost Christmas.

Whilst I have recovered, I’m not coping well with the UK heatwave. I’m just going to record on Friday and release on Sunday and then record some backups for this scenario. Apologies all.

Maybe this becomes a reality next year with these @brianrose.bsky.social newsroom.snap.com/introducing-...

Apologies all. Still not recovered. I’m away at a work event all day Monday (from about 5am) so will record Tuesday. Voice is just not there with the cold so not able to do much besides keep drinking lemsip and medication.

Hey folks. I’m not recording this evening as I’ve picked up a cold. Dosing up and will record tomorrow morning.

Hello Bluesky, this is another advertising post as I’ve been busy on TeePublic.

Episode 159 of Ingress Insights is now up! Talking about all things @ingress.com and a little bit about Scans too. open.spotify.com/episode/0fQn...

One day it’ll be back right @ingress.com @brianrose.bsky.social

Hello, this is an advertising post! TeePublic have an up to 40% off sale making the shirts £11. So here’s three new ones.

Additionally, we plan to grant 6 Apex to verified First Saturday participants in the APAC region whose events were affected by the 3-hour delay in 2X AP on Sat Jun 6. Thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve these issues.

We extended Nemesis Redux: Umbra and Nemesis Redux: Courier premium campaign end times to Mon Jun 15 18:00 UTC. Agents who previously purchased these campaigns but did not fully complete them should see them in the Ingress Scanner app now (you may need to restart the app).

The Redux campaigns for Nemesis which ended early have now reappeared! So you can finish them off in @ingress.com

In personal news, I’m currently waiting to hear back on something that I should know by the end of the week. I know it’s only Tuesday so not hyping myself too much but if it was a “no”, would have been easy to tell me on Monday, right?

Morning Agents. This weeks episode about @ingress.com (and a little bit about @nianticspatial.bsky.social’s Peridot too) is shorter but I go over all the Campaigns as we await the “make good” for the issues with Campaigns. open.spotify.com/episode/5IZB...

Any chance of seeing OPR/Recon return this quarter @brianrose.bsky.social / @ingress.com ?

This weeks episode is a chonky boi as I go through all The Courier Files media. Check it out here - open.spotify.com/episode/7Eea...

In my haste before my holiday, I realised I mixed up days and this podcast came out a day early! open.spotify.com/episode/5O8f... Episode 157 (and maybe a bonus episode?) to be recorded later today, ready for tomorrow.

As part of the changes to Portal Shields, did anything change with this one @brianrose.bsky.social @ingress.com ? Can one of the team deploy one during Anomaly weekend and check?

Sounds like the team are taking it seriously, so hopefully Apollo doesn’t suffer from the same issues. I know it’s apples to oranges now, but when I’ve attended Pokémon GO Fests, they don’t struggle nearly as much for when there’s lots of server actions happening within a park.

We hope this sheds more light on what happened during the May 16 Orion Anomalies, and what our team is doing to address it as quickly as we can. ingress.com/en/news/2026...

320 nominations on Wayfarer? 😮 Can we have this when OPR comes back again @ingress.com @brianrose.bsky.social community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/new-wayfin...

Time to go again. Will I stay as ENL or switch to RES? @ingress.com

Thinking about buying a shirt or a mug from the TeePublic store? DON’T! Well not yet anyways. From May 19th to May 31st, the store will be up to 40% off! I don’t get to decide what percentage is off what items but check it out from tomorrow to save some pennies! www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/9241...

Before I level up to 16 and hit that Recurse button, there’s no plan to shadow drop L17 this weekend is there @brianrose.bsky.social / @ingress.com

The folks over at IUENG, EGR and RGNN and probably various other channels have said this better than I could & I support it. t.me/IUENG/7374 @eng.ingressupdates.com @ingress.com @nianticspatial.bsky.social @rgnnticker.bsky.social @brianrose.bsky.social Hope the team can make this right for future

Hey Agents, this week I go over a leaked feature but I also wanted to note it here as it will make more sense with images. In games like Monster Hunter Now, when a new feature comes out or when you’re playing for the first time a character (“Green” in this image) explains and gives you tasks.

Hello Agents. Apologies for so many “buy the things” posts today. It seemed people really liked the Kinetic Capsule one as there have been a few already ordered so here’s two more.

Hey all, I’m considering making a Pride style version of the Ingress Insights logo. But I don’t want to “rainbow wash” things. So if I do this and sell the design, what’s a good LGBT+ charity I can donate the profits for any of these to?

Hey Agents. He’s gone crazy on Canva again so there’s two new designs. They’re discounted for the next two days.

Evening Agents! This week has been busy finishing up the Orion Global Op and with all the extra AP I’m nearly back up to L16 again. Level 17 when @brianrose.bsky.social @ingress.com ?

The Orion: Global Op end time will be extended by 24 hours, and will now end Tue May 12 18:00 UTC (11:00 PDT). We encountered an issue this morning that caused Orion Global Op Points to stop recording from 9:00-9:45 PDT. Global Op Points earned after 9:45 PDT and going forward are being awarded.

Hey Agents, a little late today as I had started losing my voice yesterday a bit before I planned to record so I just had some hot drinks and watched some Backlash.

Hey Agents. I’ve caught an awful cold and am losing my voice a little. So I’m going to delay recording the episode until tomorrow and rest up. Hopefully my voice comes back enough by lunch time tomorrow.

Hello Bluesky. Patreon lets you do “quips” that go out to all your followers and notifies them. I did a quick test one a few days ago. I’m going to post one in 5 minutes with a character card code so please do follow the Patreon. You can follow for absolutely £0! www.patreon.com/IngressInsig...

Hey Agents, even with no too many sales I keep coming up with t-shirt and mug ideas for the TeePublic store for things related to @ingress.com so please see a quick “pls look at stuff to buy” thread.

open.spotify.com/episode/37hi... Hello Agents! Lots going on with Ingress again this season, so I go in to some Orion results and the upcoming month long Nemesis Redux. @ingress.com @nianticspatial.bsky.social

This is actually a nice send off to @nianticspatial.bsky.social’s Peridot. I’d have liked to see other Campaigns or medals in @ingress.com for sunset titles like NBA All-World or Harry Potter: Wizards Unite but I guess licenses would get messy. ingress.com/news/2026-pe...

I know it’s not Ingress. But it leaves Ingress as the only mobile game that Niantic Spatial now has so thought worth sharing. playperidot.com/news/peridot...

From May 1, 2026 (17:00 UTC) to June 1, 2026 (17:00 UTC), the Dispatch system will host three concurrent Campaigns. Completion of these Bounties will allow Agents to earn or upgrade these specific medals to the Gold tier. ingress.com/news/2026-ne... #Ingress #NemesisRedux #IngressOrion

<ingress> Really excited about this one. I've walked 25,000 KM playing this game. Okay, on with your day. </ingress>

@brianrose.bsky.social @ingress.com No in-app badges for Orion? I know we usually have a few character badges and Supporter ones.

Hey @ingress.com team. The two links about Portal History and Scout Controller are broken. They don’t lead to an article on your help page. Can you fix this please so new Agents know what’s happening with Second Sunday?

The 151st episode is now out - open.spotify.com/episode/3QhS... I’m aware that @pocketcasts.com has the wrong feed, so it won’t refresh. Sorting that out so should be right soon.

What’s old is new again. “Remastering” a podcast whilst I was away - open.spotify.com/episode/0huT... Episode 150, which is a remastered episode 1, is now available!

Hey all. My break is almost over. I’m back super super early on Sunday so I have an episode already ready for then. It’s a fun one for Episode 150 which I hope you all enjoy!

In the early hours of this morning I uploaded a bonus episode talking about the @ingress.com April Fool’s event with fellow Farmer Stompbox86! open.spotify.com/episode/2ivb...

It looks like @ingress.com’s April Fools event has begun. Farmgress sees us collecting animals in tasks and having them run around the map. Several features have been renamed. See you all at the Town Square! Check out the Campaign at the Job Board and make sure to check for rats in the Barn!

As mentioned, I’m taking a break for two weeks. It’s important to take breaks, but I don’t want to leave you all without episodes so I’ve recorded and scheduled an episode for April 12th. I need to do one for April 5th and then back to normal.

Episode 148 is now available - open.spotify.com/episode/0N30...

Looks like we are finally getting the “spatial” theme for the Anomaly seasons with Orion for Q2 in @ingress.com ingress.com/news/2026-q2...
