The Esports Insider, or ESI, has been one of the industry go-to destinations for the latest news and events for the last few years. In this episode we speak to co-founder and CEO Sam Cooke, the driving force behind the UK-based media company.

Trev, Ben and Dan find out how ESI came about back in 2015, and how the industry (and industry events) has taken shape since then. And we find out how the pandemic affected the business, one heavily reliant on in-person events, and how this has shaped what the company will be going forward.

And, of course, we get topical with Sam and find out his views on the Commonwealth Games esports event announcement and what this could mean to the UK scene.

If you enjoy this episode then have a listen to our previous shows, and give us a like/review/follow depending on where you are listening to this. And help to spread the word of what we're trying to do in highlighting all things UK and gaming/esports.

Thanks!
