Christopher Dring and James Batchelor go where few Rare fans have been before: inside the acclaimed studio itself.

We’re joined in the Rare Pirate Tavern – yes, they’ve built a pirate tavern – by studio boss Craig Duncan, executive producers Louise O’Connor and Joe Neate and lead producer Adam Park – that’s six people in total, breaking all the rules of podcasting.

The Rare team discuss the history of the studio, changes that are happening behind its gates in the run-up to Sea of Thieves, how work is progressing on the upcoming pirate game, and their favourite Rare titles of all time.
