Formats of the Podcast

The Derp Circle has been presented in several various formats throughout its many episodes.

Season 1
The podcast originally was livestreamed on Twitch, showing zZToastie's computer screen as he browsed



various sites while the podcast's discussion was going on in the background of the audio.

The audio of the Skype call would be recorded by a member of the podcast and later sent to TheStormPow, who would then render out a YouTube-friendly version of the show, including the audio of the conversation being put under the show's former logo, which was created by Om3gaPro. This format ran for the first thirteen episodes of the show.

Season 2


TheStormPow presented an idea to the other members, proposing that the podcast featured webcam shots of all the guests as they discussed the topics of the night's episode. It was hosted live on Twitch and later put on YouTube for permanent viewing on TheStormPow's channel, as the previous installments had been.



This format ran for three episodes, until it was given a new background by SketchKing23, slightly changing the appearance of this format. It ran for an additional two more episodes in this new format, giving Season 2 a total lifespan of five episodes.

Season 3
The third season of the podcast took a new format, more similar to the format of the first season. Instead of being livestreamed on Twitch using XSplit, it was streamed on YouTube using Wirecast. Wirecast, while being much more compatible for YouTube livestreaming, making the podcast much less stressful to produce for the creators, did not include as much visual customization, taking the podcast to a simpler approach.

Often, the show starts out showing the base design, featuring cartoon versions of the three main hosts (drawn by SketchKing23) and fades to show different images corresponding to the current topic being discussed.

Gaming Livestreams


Occasionally, the podcast is done in a format of a regular gaming livestream, where the members play a video game of their choice and discuss random things--usually pertaining to the game itself. This has been done in a higlight format in the past, but the members have talked about doing a full, uncut livestream of certain multiplayer games.

These don't necessarily belong to their own seasons, and are randomly tossed into whatever season they chronologically happen in.
