Look, everyone knows if you don't get at least 1 Trillion downloads on your Season 6 Premier episode, you'll never make it in podcasting. With that in mind, we've decided to change our format up here a little bit at DT!HQ. As of right now, and probably definitely forever, we're a true crime podcast! We're excited to embark on this bold, new journey, but we also understand the value of staying in our lane. That's why we're kicking off our true crime journey by deciding what the best(?) video game crime to make a podcast about could be!

Our three debaters all cover a different major faction of true crime. Matt's White Collar Nation lived peacefully with Andrew's Murder Nation. But everything changed when Todd and the Cult Nation attacked!
