Taking on numerous more behind-the-camera roles, SirScoots has a unique perspective when it comes to the industry.  https://twitter.com/SirScoots Find the video version here - https://youtu.be/XqUKIciCuYA Follow the Caster Calls Twitter account - https://www.twitter.com/castercalls Consider supporting the podcast on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/zombiegrub Support the show

Medic is one of three play-by-play commentators for the LEC, or the League of Legends European Championship. His climb to the top of the LoL casting scene (and as such, arguably the top of e-sports casting) was relatively fast, having started with Vainglory in 2016 and appearing in the 2017 Spring EU CS shortly after. In this interview he briefly touches on his interesting background as a trained doctor and decision to move into casting, how initially he was rejected from casting LoL, and how he eventually found himself in a position to hone his craft at the top of the e-sports industry. https://twitter.com/MedicCasts Find the video  version here - https://youtu.be/quD_HcTrLZU Follow the Caster Calls Twitter account - https://www.twitter.com/castercalls Consider supporting the podcast on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/zombiegrub Thank you to the big supporters on Patreon!

In this episode I talk to Gabby Snyder, a Pokemon commentator who works part-time in the field of e-sports. We talk about the very large collection of Pokemon games and how unique the world of Pokemon e-sports is. No other e-sport has the same type of franchise power, so how does that fit into e-sports?  https://twitter.com/GabbySnyder Co-produced by: Shayne Find the video version here - https://youtu.be/ktTkGIseLds Follow the Caster Calls Twitter account - https://www.twitter.com/castercalls Consider supporting the podcast on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/zombiegrub Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/zombiegrub)

The historic career of djWheat can't be fit into one podcast episode, but we tried to cover the highlights.

Also discussed is what makes a good talk show, how variety makes you a better commentator, and one of the biggest mistakes of djWheat's career. https://twitter.com/djWHEAT https://www.twitch.tv/djWHEAT Co-produced by: Shayne Find the video version here - https://youtu.be/UfY7Hl_aOjg Follow the Caster Calls Twitter account - https://www.twitter.com/castercalls Consider supporting the podcast on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/zombiegrub Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/zombiegrub)

Lyrical began his DotA 2 commentating career back in 2016 and quickly found himself casting The International, the biggest DotA 2 (and esport) event.
