At Derby's 28th Tomb Raider celebration, a very special world-first event took place. Raidercast had the honour of interviewing TWO Lara Croft voice actresses live at the same time. Jonell and Judith, Lara and Lara.

In an unbelievable highpoint for Raidercast, I sat down to talk all things Lara Croft with Dallas Dickinson: Franchise General Manager for Tomb Raider. Get to know him, find out what it takes to be in charge of the whole franchise, and what he thinks about all things Tomb Raider past.

It's time to get excited about the future of the franchise! There are so, so many things in the works for Lara and Tomb Raider, so join me and Tomb Raider fans from around the world as we discuss what's to come. --- 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭: https://twitter.com/RaidercastPod​​ https://twitter.com/chriscarpineti https://www.instagram.com/raidercast​​ https://www.instagram.com/chriscarpineti https://www.threads.net/@raidercast https://bsky.app/profile/raidercast.bsky.social 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: https://linktr.ee/raidercastmerch​​ If you enjoy my videos, consider helping fund future projects! https://ko-fi.com/raidercast

Guests Laurie and Steve return to Raidercast in a special sequel to Season 2's Remakes and Ports episode - as the stars aligned, we now actually have remasters! Here are our breakdowns of things we love, things we don't, and things we'd love to see.

Marine Conservation and Tomb Raider Lara Croft faces many underwater beasties during her quests, however are these marine menaces actually misunderstood?
