The founding GiantBomb staff members have all left since the sale to Red Ventures:

- Vinny, Brad, and Alex left last year, and later re-grouped and started Nextlander, which is basically GB but without having to build their own platform (live Twitch streams, on-demand videos on YouTube, and Simplecast- and Patreon-hosted podcasts), and Brad works with another Whiskey alum, Will Smith, on a separate tech podcast and open-source specific podcast

- Jeff left a few months ago and is basically doing the same as Nextlander, only largely on his own

Nextlander has done a few things with GiantBomb, most recently a video around the new Splatoon game[0], but Jeff hasn't appeared directly yet.

It was when Ryan Davis died that I realized just how intimate the podcasting medium could be. While I also loved the rest of the crew, I couldn't listen to Giant Bomb without him. It was just too sad.

If you didn't know Jeff Gerstmann is out at GB and he was the last of the original guard (Vinny, Brad, and Alex left like... a year ago?).
