How Dragon Talk welcomed us through D&D's best decade yet

Usually I spend my time on the Byteside podcast chatting to creatives or engineers about things they've been hard at work building for the future. So on the surface it seems strange to say we're here to talk to two people from the Wizards of the Coast marketing team - but, for me, Greg Tito and Shelley Mazzanoble come to the show with the same sense of creative energy. As the co-hosts of Dragontalk, the official Dungeons & Dragons podcast, they do a lot more than just talk about the latest news and new release updates about the game. They have spent 7 years and 350+ episodes becoming part of the heartbeat of D&D, interviewing the team behind the scenes and introducing us to guests from across the worldwide to deepen our shared love of the game and its community. The podcast has been so wonderful they are just about to release a book about the Dragontalk podcast and the lessons they've learned about the game but also life, the universe and everything else.

The future of trust and security

This episode was sponsored by IBM The nature of trust and security online has been a big challenge throughout the pandemic, but the events of 2022 have tested these issues like never before. We had been planning this sponsored episode for many months, but when it fell into place this turned out to be an excellent time to talk to Chris Hockings, APAC CTO at IBM Security about the state of security and trust in Australia today.

Can Slack's Huddles end a lot of 30 minute meetings?

Slack proved its value during the past few years and its addition of Huddles in 2021 helped to find a great new middle ground between formal video meetings and text chat for general updates. Huddles is now being extended with new features to make it even more useful for quick creative brainstorms and catch ups that help end the game of hunting people's calendars for 30 minute timeslots. We're chatting to Rob Seaman, Vice President of Product at Slack, to learn more about what's new in Huddles and how Slack has learned about its value to customers during the pandemic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can beer be more efficient? Konvoy is showing the way

It's great to get back into a pub and have a draft of the good stuff again. But moving beer from brewery to bar is a logistical mess that only got harder during lockdowns. Konvoy has been helping brewers make all that easier with data-enabled kegs and a system that not only makes moving them around more efficient but also lowers their carbon footprint. Win, win. We're talking to Adam Trippe-Smith, owner and founder of Konvoy, about making beer easier to move around. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Is the DGTO really going to help?

For a long, long time, Australian federal governments have left game developers out in the cold when it comes to simple support mechanisms like tax offsets. In 2021, the government announced the Digital Games Tax Offset – a big step forward for supporting investment in game development in Australia. But how good is the detail in the DGTO? Yes, broadly, it's great that it exists, but Ben Thompson from Techlever, an expert in R&D tax support structures, has noticed there's a lot of exclusions that make it very difficult for small and mid sized developers to feel like they can rely on this new mechanism. We chat to Ben on this episode! Submissions for feedback on the DGTO draft close April 18! Details here. Read Ben's summary of his concerns at Techlever here. And follow the industry body's insights on all things Australian game development here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
