[UPDATE: The recording is now long over, and Steamcast has come to an end. Final episodes have yet to be released in downloadable MP3 form, so stay tuned!]

After almost 3 years of activity, the Steamcast podcast is closing its doors. Later today, they will be recording their last episode ever – Episode #99. Set to be recorded live in 14 hours (at precisely 12AM, midnight GMT), it will be a 3-hour special during which they’ll be discussing Steamcast itself, telling stories about its creation, its development and its life. They will be inviting listeners to call in live, come onto the show, and talk with the 3 hosts: Sam, Brad and Saurabh.

In addition, they’ll be giving out free games during the live recording, including a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta key. In order to win these, you’ll need to be tuned in to the live stream, as well as be present in the Steamcast Steam Community group’s chatroom while they are recording.

While I won’t be able to make it for the first hour or so, I will almost certainly be present for the rest of the episode, and I might even call in live to chat with the hosts, as well as any other listeners. For more information, check out their announcement.
