Hope you all had an excellent Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Things may be rather quiet in nullsec at the moment but there is still plenty to discuss at the moment from the collapse of one of the oldest alliances in game to the increasing potential for an HBC / CFC ‘Great War’ to the drama llama hitting the Eve media scene. Allow Jeg and Xander to steer you through all of the latest news so you can be the coolest cat in the pack when your friends ask you what’s happening in Eve Online!

Another episode hits the airwaves and once again, as tradition dictates, we are massively late! Honestly, what with Xander now working offshore, look for CZ to happen more like once every three to four weeks going forward - fortnightly is a little optimistic. However, the gap since last episode has left us with plenty to discuss including the launch of Retribution, the CSM Winter Summit, CCP’s festive gifts to the player base, the finish of the first Eve cash tournament, the New Eden Open and the launch of FanFest 2013 proper with tickets now on sale.

Welcome back hardy listeners as Jeg and I are joined in this epic voyage of wonder and discovery by the host of the Podside Podcast, Placid! We have a wide ranging field of discussion this week including the start of the $10,000 New Eden Open, the current feud between themittani.com and the general EVE blogging community, the currently insularity of AAA both in and out of game and a wee Q&A on how our move to CFC is going.

Wow, it feels like forever since we knocked together one of these podcast thingies! Xander is mainly to blame due to spending much of the last month stranded on an oil rig in the North Sea. Even in a slow month this would normally leave us with a whole heap to talk about but the past four weeks or so have been far from slow for Zebra Corp.

Jeg’s back! Unshackled from the ties that bound him to a sun lounger on some beautiful foreign isle, he rejoins Xander to discuss a suite of different topics. The first and foremost of which is the untimely and incredibly sad passing of Sean ‘Vile Rat’ Smith. We both ask that if you have a little so spare, you point your browser to the YouCaring page which has been set up. All proceeds from this will go to Sean’s family to help them through this incredibly difficult time and every little helps.

If Xander sounds a bit tired this episode, forgive him - he recorded this one between midnight and half one in the morning and he was shattered. Jeg is still sunning himself in the Balearics so joining him on this show are AAA stalwart Rundle Allnighter from the Lost in Eve podcast and Zakn from Gentleman’s Agreement. In this episode, Xander taps into the wealth of knowledge Zakn and Rundle have in null-sec to discuss the politics of the region, where things are going and what can be done to make the region a little less stagnant. Of course, Jade from LiE does get mercilessly ribbed as well.

There’s no Jeg this week as he is sunning himself on a beach in the Mediterranean. So instead, Xander took things a slightly different direction. We have a couple of guests this week - previous Crossing Zebras alumni Dsan and the beautiful and wonderful host of the Voices from the Void podcast, Arydanika.

And for once, Xander and Jeg manage to post an episode roughly on schedule and this time they even have actual fleets they have flown in to report on! This will come up in some detail as well as a bit of chatter on some of the latest news and rumours from the universe of New Eden. It’s pretty likely to include at least some of the following:

Late again! This is pretty much Xander’s fault this time but hopefully you’ll agree after listening that he has some reasonably justifiable reasons. Still, despite the fact that the closest this pair get to Tranquility these days is a walk through the park in the sunshine, there is still plenty of news and gossip for them to chew their way through…

Yeah so apologies for the delay from the last episode. Blame Xander - a combination of a very pregnant wife and working offshore meant this edition of the Best Podcast In Eve Online had to be delayed a week. Still, absence makes the heart grow fonder or something. There’s quite a lot to get through this week so grab yourself a drink and strap yourself in. It’s going to be a bumpy ride…

This week, Jeg and Xander have to be kept pulled apart by the dulcet tones of evenews24.com and carebearnation.com contributor, Dsan! There’s a lot to go over this week including the chaos that is Delve and the rampant manipulation of the Faction Warfare LP system in the past couple of weeks. Needless to say, Jeg and Xander don’t see eye-to-eye on everything…

Standby for the longest and most action-packed episode of the podcast all of New Eden is talking about - Crossing Zebras! This week, amongst other things, we landed a surprised interview with CSM7 member Alekseyev Karrde who wanted to jump on and have a chat about some of the wardec changes happening at the moment. Of course, we did over very best to steer him off topic and gleaned some very tasty morsels of information in the process!

This episode is a touch more risque than previous attempts mainly due to Jeg and I having drunk copious amounts of cider before hand and during. Forewarned is forearmed! We manage to get through a massive pile of stuff including Alliance Tournament X and the bannings of Hydra and Outbreak, the ongoing sponsorship of miner ganking by Goons, what we are doing in game at the moment, the CSM7 summit, the problems spawned by the new Unified Inventory, speculation on Sony buying out CCP and a heap of different shoutouts.

Join Jeg and Xander for the longest episode of Crossing Zebras yet as they cover a suite of geekery spawned from New Eden over the past 14 days. Topics of conversation include a brief summary of how Hulkageddon is going, changes to the application process for the Alliance Tournament, the changes Inferno brings next week, current movements effecting -A- including the machinations of OTEC, the Dust514 beta, the CSM7 summer summit agenda and a few shout outs. Phew!

The blog has been rather quiet since episode two due to Jeg and I being caught up with real life stuff. Expect a podcasting tour-de-force in episode three though as discuss Hulkageddon and why industrial pilots seem destined to lose their ships, the all new craze sweeping alliance mails everywhere - http://www.eveskunk.com - what the Goons have in store for twitter and more specifically, #tweetfleet and the result of the competition we have been holding for the last two weeks.
