Every Mission is a videogame podcast hosted by Henning Fog and TPG that goes long on, you guessed it, *every mission* of the best narrative driven-games of all time -- starting with the groundbreaking 'GRAND THEFT AUTO III' (2001) and continuing all the way up to... well, 'GRAND THEFT AUTO VI' (2026?), with lots of stops along the way.
Think of it like a TV recap podcast that trades episodes for video game missions, many of which involving some playable combination of driving, murder, and being a criminal! If that sounds like fun to you, then SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!
With the Italians going to war with the Colombians — on our dime! Or at least our down payment — and rearranging the very topography of Liberty City, there's no time left to appreciate our 'GTA III' surroundings (including TPG’s favorite potholed-marked street in Little Italy). Do we have a Mafia future? Or is there a better, perhaps more Eastern gang on the other side of the river we should be turning our attention to? Hold on, we’re being paged…

6: The Blood-Soaked Streets of Liberty
Our mission-by-mission recap of 'Grand Theft Auto III' continues! TPG’s under the weather, or so he says, but that’s not stopping him or Henning from soaking the streets of Portland (Liberty City's realest burrough) in blood, then feeling bad about it. Also, our turncoat girlfriend Catalina’s back, something we have to supply the emotion for because our silent hero absolutely won’t. For him it’s just another Tuesday; for us it’s a clue that ‘GTA III’ is about to open up in a massive, SPANK- and mackerel-filled way.CHAPTERS:

5: Mafia Avengers, Assemble
“I see nothing but good things for you, my boy,” the head of the Leone crime syndicate tells us like a proud, pixelated papa. And in the words of Gen-Z… *we felt that*. Even if the fetch missions won’t stop coming, to and from Chinatown alleys and mafia mansions and warehouse parties overflowing with SPANK. We may be currying favor with the don but we’re holding down R2 every step of the way.

4: Wes Anderson's New York
'The Sopranos', Wes Anderson, the Men in Black (fictional or otherwise), 'The Truman Show', and 'The Great Gatsby' all factor in today's free-wheeling discussion of Liberty City and its many inspirations, overt and otherwise. Are we playing a driving game that lets you shoot, or a shooting game that lets you drive? Sound off with your own take in the comments, or let us know at everymissionpod@gmail.com!

3: 'GTA III' urges us to kill men we know nothing about for fun + profit
"This is a videogame and you can do whatever you want," says TPG. But, like, can you? We may have been set loose on 'GTA III''s first island, Portland, but the mission parameters are clear: do the bidding of men who'd prefer to keep their own hands clean while we dirty ours. Liberty comes with expectation. On today's episode, Henning and TPG talk:
architecting thoughtful missions that intersect with open world insanity
Tim's early exposure to 'The Great Train Robbery'
Henning drag-racing to Death Cab's 'Transatlanticism'
the inherent racism of naming a character "Chunky Lee Chong"

2: Wanting things and taking them
Nothing but guns, cars, and bombs as we do what we're told by the Liberty City mafia, and of course 'GTA III' itself. Does the money even matter? Are we raising hell for profit, or merely the thrill of it? Tony Soprano may have been under the psychological microscope but our mute protagonist can't tell us anything, which is why we have to do the talking (40 minutes) for him.Today we discuss:
the best cars for ferrying sex workers across the city
Rapper Keith Elam (aka "Guru"), our best friend in the game
whether we're class warriors or class traitors
how sick it is sometimes to just blow shit up

1: Liberty, Liberty, Liberty
It's a regular Liberty Mutual commercial as we escape the prison truck and stretch our (PS2-era graphics) legs in Liberty City, the main setting -- nay, main character -- of the groundbreaking 'GRAND THEFT AUTO III', which we're covering mission-by-mission here on the 'Every Mission' podcast. In today's premiere episode we cover:
Prodigy songs
references to Clint Eastwood's directorial debut, 'Play Misty for Me'
S Club 7
New York City real estate c. 2001
the vocal stylings of Joey Pantoliano and Michael Rappaport
the all-American-ness of the Louisville Slugger and Hummer
who we are, and why you should join us on this 'GTA III' (and beyond!) journey
