There is a new Eve Online Podcast in town.
It is only on youtube at present.
Eve Compass. Describes itself as "EVE Compass: EVE Online industry guides, Podcast, tutorials, career agent walkthroughs, ship fittings, and relaxing space ambience for sleep."
I have added it to my page listing Eve Online content that is, or touches on, the Eve Economy, Industry and Trading.
Content to date
Six videos to date, 2 of which are interviews with Eve Players. One on an Industrial Corp in Null-Sec and one on a Fuel making corp in High-Sec. 3 general guides and 1 ambient music video.
Early days but well worth a listen.
Summaries of the two interview videos
Null-Sec Industry in Providence: Arkenstone CEO DEATHROE Annages
The episode features DEATHROE Annages, CEO of Arkenstone Foundries Inc, discussing how to build and run a null‑sec industrial corporation in Providence. It covers his journey from solo mining in 2012 through wars, burnout, rebuilding with real‑life friends, and ultimately running a thriving industrial group under the Reeloaded alliance. The conversation dives into corp management, buyback programs, PvP balance, Catalyst‑patch impacts, and long‑term ambitions.
