Something’s landing soon

I couldn't be there myself, but this is genuinely one of the best episodes of Eggplant we've ever run. Big respect to Rob, Stephanie, Patrick, and Alfredo for this one! Also, so many superb listener letters, as usual! bsky.app/profile/eggp...

If you’re just starting up UFO 50 since it’s on Switch now - please enjoy my favorite thing I’ve done in 18+ years of podcasting.

one thing i'm appreciating about UFO50 as our series enters its home stretch: this is such a novel way to present what is basically a 50-chapter story. this week we cover chapter 46, COMBATANTS, in which the fictional studio's reviled boss finally directs a game himself eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

Eggplant Presents: A Year of UFO 50 - Combatants We're joined by @chouxsalad.bsky.social, @alt254.bsky.social, and @sxezskoz.bsky.social to discuss the 46th game in the collection. “The evil Red Ants have taken your land! Fight Back and defend your queen!” eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

It was such an honor to interview Wouter Verstichel, showrunner of De Mol, the best-designed reality competition show of all time! We got to talk about all sorts of behind the scenes and design details — a huge treat for us superfans. Give it a listen here: eggplant.show/eggplant-tv-...

Hooray! For all y’all new players on Switch: We’ve been doing A Year of UFO 50 since the initial launch, a weekly book club podcast, one game/episode per week. We’re almost at the end, but you should start at the start! Here’s our intro episode for the series: eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

Eggplant TV Plays De Mol - a very special new episode! Laura, Jey, Doug, and Melisa sit down with De Mol showrunner Wouter Verstichel to talk about the recent 2025 season, and more. Lots of funny anecdotes, don't miss it! eggplant.show/eggplant-tv-...

MINI & MAX is probably my new favorite game in the whole collection (asterisk: still five to go) and, like its subject, our episode about it goes to some wonderful and surprising places. stacked guest lineup, star control 2 mentioned, the birth of The Uncanny Mountain, truly what more could you want

Eggplant Presents: A Year of UFO 50 - Mini & Max We're joined by @animalwell.bsky.social, @zerofiftyone.bsky.social, @kayin.moe, @adamconover.net to discuss Mini & Max! “Mini and her dog Max are locked in the storage room. Harness the magic of shrinking to escape!” eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

listen. we both know you’ve heard “wow this was a great ufo50 episode” from me a lot this past year. here’s the thing though. this was a great ufo50 episode! on one of the collection’s weirdest titles: an idle game that critiques itself as ufo50’s fictional studio narrative begins its final collapse

Woo, our very own Eileen is on Eggplant 💙 Make sure to check it out, the weekend is the perfect time to listen to a podcast! Make sure to check out their older episodes as well 😉

a great convo about a game that was candidly not my favorite! featuring the triumphant return of @selmaleh.bsky.social to podcasting from national labor leadership. don’t miss the second half of the episode, which is barely about elfazar’s hat but manages to cover about a hundred other sundry topics

Eggplant Presents: A Year of UFO 50 - Elfazar’s Hat We're joined by @sxezskoz.bsky.social, @adamdolin.bsky.social, @sarahnorthway.bsky.social, and @colinnorthway.bsky.social! “Elfazar is hailed as a great magician, but his captive animals are ready to strike back!" eggplant.show/ep-a-year-of...

loved this episode — so many categories of expertise represented, all of which were absolutely necessary because this game was hard as shit

We had such a great chat with @ectafoole.bsky.social, who was so lovely. She answered our burning questions about all the Qud sidequests, except for that one about [redacted].
