OK COOL is expanding its podcast offerings with a new weekly show focused on emerging video games. The new format, titled “OK MÜD,” launches on Mondays at 5:00 AM Pacific Time, offering a curated look at the week’s most promising game releases.
The podcast, hosted by Dom Schott, will highlight five new titles each week, with a particular emphasis on smaller and mid-sized games that often get overlooked amidst larger releases. This focus aims to connect players with potentially undiscovered favorites, a growing need in an increasingly crowded gaming market.
In addition to the featured releases, “OK MÜD” will also include a segment dedicated to the week’s most unusual game, as well as a preview of upcoming content on the broader OK COOL podcast network.
The launch of “OK MÜD” marks the second free-format podcast from OK COOL, following the five-year run of “OK COOL trifft.”
The OK COOL podcast is available on all major podcast platforms. Listeners can also access the show directly via RSS feed.
OK COOL is supported by its audience through the platform Steady. Feedback, suggestions, and guest proposals can be sent to [email protected].
