Jeff Cannata seems like he's doing better. He wasn't on the Slashfilmcast last week (the Mortal Kombat episode) because his daughter had been diagnosed with a rare disease.

@tepidshark: shiiiiiiiit. I haven't listened to DLC in a while. I saw him reference having a shit day on Twitter at some point, but didn't know the context.

What is the DLC podcast about in a nutshell?

@humanity: It's a gaming podcast by Jeff Cannata and Christian Spicer. Every week they briefly talk about the biggest stories of the week in games, talk about the games they're playing (longest segment), and occasionally they talk about VR games and table games, both of which Jeff Cannata is a huge fan of. They have a new guest every week. Jeff Gerstmann, Dan Ryckert, and Abby Russell have also been guests previously.

I also remember when he had eye surgery to prevent him from becoming blind. Best wishes to him and his family.

@humanity: Jeff Cannata is an OG games personality and a video podcast pioneer. He was part of Revision3, which basically invented video podcasts.

In the 90s, there was a cable television station called Tech Tv which eventually became G4. The flagship show of the network was called The Screensavers. A notable host of the show was a guy named Jevin Rose. Rose hosted the show on G4, for a while, alongside a guy named Alex Albrecht. Rose left The Screensavers to start a site called Digg.com where he basically invented the concept of a “like” button and made a fortune. He also sorted an internet media company called Revision 3 and a flagship show called Diggnation, hosted by himself and Alex Albrecht.

Alex Albrecht made a second show on Revision 3 called The Totally Rad Show that reviewed movies, games and comics. The cohosts of this show were Jeff Cannata and Dan Trachtenberg.

While hosting TRS, Dan made a Portal short Film which landed him a job directing 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Boys. He was going to direct Uncharted before that got re-developed. Because of Dans directing duties, The Totally Rad Show ended. Jeff then went on to cohost the Weekend Confirmed gaming podcast.

Now he hosts the DLC podcast and a Dumgeons And Dragons podcast.

As Far as I know he has only been on Giantbomb once, for the midnight e3 show. His contribution was overshadowed by Greg Kindafunny Whatshisface being drunk and taking his shirt off.

Jeff’s main claims to fame as a reviewer are positivity and eloquence. He’s a very smart guy who likes to talk about things precisely. He’s also a trained actor and has experience in communication.
