The D-Pad (podcast)

The D-Pad was a video game-themed podcast and later live web radio show hosted by Rick Desilets, John Selig, Nick Bebel and C/J Haley. It debuted on April 3, 2011 and ran on a weekly schedule for three years, with several hiatuses and format changes occurring during this time. After 130 episodes, The D-Pad ended its run on April 3, 2014, the third anniversary of the show's debut, with the hosts deciding to shift their focus to their Let's Play channel of the same name. The podcast returned for a special one-off episode in 2016 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of The D-Pad, with Rick, John, C/J and Ben Mooney hosting. Currently, the return of the podcast to a regular weekly schedule is the $500 per month goal on The D-Pad's Patreon account.
