Inside Star Citizen

Inside Star Citizen, shortened ISC, is a weekly show hosted by Jared Huckaby which features previews of upcoming game features and mechanics, as well as in-depth interviews with developers. It is the replacement for the previous weekly show, Around the Verse. The show takes a 3-week "hiatus" at the beginning of each quarter and isn't released over Christmas resulting in a yearly episode count of ~35. An episode is typically comprised of two main segments, which come in multiple categories and can vary by episode - sprint reports, feature deep dives, dev team introductions and ship showcases.
