After all, good hires that mesh well is GB's most consistent series.
i listen/watch probably overall at least 10 hours of GB content a week on average I think.
How about they have diversity as a criteria, and they hire someone who would bring a different perspective, without sacrificing the other requirements to fit the job.
Edit: Like Austin.

Yup. There is a difference between finding someone who fits but just maintains the status quo, or someone who meshes and provides change and growth to the business.

Seeing that i pretty much run their podcasts on the background while i work i probably consume close to... 55-60 hours of their content per week?

I'm so damn behind on content because there is too many games to play, but bought two more years of premium.

Austin fit in well AND brought a whole new perspective to the site. Both factors are absolutely crucial.

Can a mop host a podcast too?

"Today is the day. Monday. All for a lousy jersey..."
A Brad shaped figure can be seen in the partially lit studio. Jeff, sitting in his usual spot, calls out to the figure, "Come over here so I can see you better."
I just hoped that Snider would never spot em' as the word of this humiliation could easily make life in the DOTA 2 crew a veritable hell
"Ouuuuuu... isn't THAT cu- that is the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life." says Jeff, excitingly.
"Hehehehhheeehheheheh." belts out an always giddy, Rorie.
"He looks like a deranged DOTA courier." Jason implies
Jeff, surprised at Jason's response, immediately replies, "He does noooot."
Yet even Jeff begins to stifle his laughter.
"He does too, he looks like a Kessler bought nightmare." Jason continues
"Are you happy wearing that?" Jason asks
Brad quickly gives a no, yet only with a nod of his head, too dejected because he fears the Slack has already gotten word
"Tell the kid to take it off." Jason asks of Jeff
"Alright, you'll only wear it when the East crew visits. Go on and take it off"
"Take it offff!"
I can't think of a single day in the past month when I didn't consume at least some form of GB content. I slowly started relistening to the old Bombcasts and it's taken me about four years to get myself up to 2015 now.
I completely agree. Austin fit your second scenario to a T.

Nobody here probably cares, but at this point I just hope the new hires are none of the guys from Laser Time because I don't want more people to leave that group as they all go for jobs instead of the Patreon route.

Pardon My Take, it's a sports comedy podcast. I doubt Dan comes up in anyway. But this has to be the most notorious thing Dan ever did. I wonder if George Brett even knows how it got leaked
well that was unexpected
I would fly to San Francisco and shit in their Blitz machine

Finally, someone with a new, diverse perspective joins the site.

Tumbleseed seems like a decent phone game but I can't see myself playing this with a controller.
Oh you
well that was unexpected
Oh you
you said you wanted more inclusivity, so they hired a republican!
YOU DID THIS ALL OF YOU
Yeah, that's important, but recall how much Austin's unique perspective added to the site. Being on the look out for new perspectives is a good thing, and it so happens that diversity is conducive to that. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, either way, but I'll definitely be disappointed if they don't take this opportunity to break the all-male mold.
8-4 Play, one of the three gaming podcasts I listen to, has recently (as in, over the past few months, I think?) gone from being entirely male the vast majority of the time to having a constant female voice. It's been nice. It would be cool to see the Bombcast go in that direction, as well.

Yea for sure, I think Vinny mentioned they have to be comfortable being in content as well.
Starts around 47 minutes (I don't know why I sought this out)

Excited for the new show "Colin is da bomb" as well.
Can't wait to hear more about the free market from somebody as educated as him.
Drew was hired to pack T-shirts and Vinny was "hired" when they were only 4 guys

I'm not going to go as far as calling this a roguelike but it certainly has those elements.
I wonder if the new hire will be someone none of us had heard of before.
I think everyone, including Jeff, would leave the Giant Bomb to found a new website called Massive Explosion or maybe just use nuke.com.

A roguelike-like.
I never made the connection that nuke.com has the same semantics as giantbomb.com.
What a coincidence

I can't be the only one sick of roguelikes. My interest drops off a cliff as soon as I hear that.
