'''''The D-Pad''''' was a [[2011]]-[[2012|12]] weekly half-hour podcast created by [[Rick Desilets]] and published by [[Podsmiths]] as a part of their family of audio programs, as well as the debut of the ''[[The D-Pad|D-Pad]]'' brand as a whole.  It was hosted by Rick, [[John Selig]], [[Nick Bebel]], and occasionally [[C/J Haley]], and featured the team discussing topical news not just in the realm of video games, but in movies, music, television, technology, and filmmaking.  As a spinoff from the ''[[Open Lounge]]'' podcast, the programs featured a few crossover episodes, including the premiere episode of ''The D-Pad'' and the first Let's Play published to the team's YouTube page, ''[[5 Days a Stranger]]''.  The series premiered on April 3, 2011, and ran for 43 episodes, airing on Sundays until the announcement that the show had been picked up by Boston independent web radio station [[UNregular Radio]] in the series' final episodes in the closing days of May 2012.

This series would ultimately result in the creation of ''[[The D-Pad Let's Play]]'', a YouTube channel designed to accompany the show.  At first, the team held an event in June 2011 called ''[[Sonic Week]]'', to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', hosting uncut longplays on their own website.  After enjoying the Let's Play format, the team opened up their YouTube channel the following month, premiering with their first Let's Play of ''5 Days a Stranger'', followed by edited re-uploads of the ''Sonic Week'' videos, split into 15-minute chunks to fit under YouTube's guidelines on video length for new users at the time.

This first season of the overall [[The D-Pad (podcast)|''D-Pad'' podcast]] was hosted by Podsmiths on [http://dpadup.com dpadup.com], but ownership of the site lapsed in 2014 and was infamously bought up by Rahasia Sukses Digital Marketing, an Indonesian marketing firm.  In 2017, Rick re-purchased the domain, which now serves as a redirect to the ''D-Pad'' YouTube page.  As of December 2017, no episodes (aside from the ''Sonic Week'' Let's Play videos in their edited format) are known to exist.

The D-Pad was a 2011-12 weekly half-hour podcast created by Rick Desilets and published by Podsmiths as a part of their family of audio programs, as well as the debut of the D-Pad brand as a whole. It was hosted by Rick, John Selig, Nick Bebel, and occasionally C/J Haley, and featured the team discussing topical news not just in the realm of video games, but in movies, music, television, technology, and filmmaking. As a spinoff from the Open Lounge podcast, the programs featured a few crossover episodes, including the premiere episode of The D-Pad and the first Let's Play published to the team's YouTube page, 5 Days a Stranger. The series premiered on April 3, 2011, and ran for 43 episodes, airing on Sundays until the announcement that the show had been picked up by Boston independent web radio station UNregular Radio in the series' final episodes in the closing days of May 2012.

This series would ultimately result in the creation of The D-Pad Let's Play, a YouTube channel designed to accompany the show. At first, the team held an event in June 2011 called Sonic Week, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Sonic the Hedgehog, hosting uncut longplays on their own website. After enjoying the Let's Play format, the team opened up their YouTube channel the following month, premiering with their first Let's Play of 5 Days a Stranger, followed by edited re-uploads of the Sonic Week videos, split into 15-minute chunks to fit under YouTube's guidelines on video length for new users at the time.

This first season of the overall D-Pad podcast was hosted by Podsmiths on dpadup.com, but ownership of the site lapsed in 2014 and was infamously bought up by Rahasia Sukses Digital Marketing, an Indonesian marketing firm. In 2017, Rick re-purchased the domain, which now serves as a redirect to the D-Pad YouTube page. As of December 2017, no episodes (aside from the Sonic Week Let's Play videos in their edited format) are known to exist.
