Today CrazyKinux and I are proud to release the first episode in our on-going bi-weekly podcast we've called "The Safe Spot". CK has recently returned to the game and I've been here all along, so we thought that combination of history, perspective, and experience (or lack of) would be a compelling foundation for us to talk about Eve Online. Not just from a game-play perspective, but from a community one as well. Our history stretches all the way back to the pre-Alpha days for CK and his Eve blog helped inspire me back in those early days to launch Eveoganda.
So we'll be releasing new episodes every two weeks in my YouTube channel, so be sure to head over there and subscribe so you don't miss anything. For now we are taking this adventure one step at a time and letting it develop naturally, so we'll see where the journey takes us. But we are certainly interested in your feedback, comments, suggestions, and whatever else you want to discuss. As always you are welcome to join the Eveoganda Discord channel to talk to either of us directly, or contact us on any social platform you might use. We'd love to hear from you.
We're recording new episodes every week and tonight I'll be sitting down with CK to record our second installment already. We figure this way we can get out in front of ourselves and put some episodes into the bank in case the dreaded real life gets in that way here and there. I'm excited to be back behind the microphone to talk about my favorite subject - Eve Online.
The Safe Spot Manifesto
EVE is beautiful. EVE is brutal. That's the point.
The Safe Spot exists because we love EVE as a living sandbox where choices matter, people matter, and every undock is an act of courage. We're not here for drama, meta shouting, or nullsec theater; we're here to make EVE make sense.
We believe new players deserve respect, veterans deserve more than recycled takes, and "getting good" means learning how to think, adapt, and keep flying after you explode. We focus on what actually keeps pilots in the game: finding direction, finding (or leaving) your people, handling loss and burnout, learning without turning EVE into a second job, and becoming useful, confident, and dangerous at your own pace.
EVE isn't just ships and skills; it's culture, trust, stories, and mistakes that become legends. Our promise is simple: clarity over hype, curiosity over ego, and practical wisdom over performative expertise — with some fun along the way.
This is a safe spot not from danger, but from confusion.
Breathe, learn, laugh, undock again.
Fly brave. Fly smart. Fly with purpose.
