The Yogscast is a media production company and video game publisher based in Bristol who produce gaming related video content focused around their main YouTube channel, "YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon" and subsequent channels on both YouTube and Twitch made by other creators as part of the Yogscast network. The channel has its roots in videos about the MMO World of Warcraft, but came into the spotlight with their walkthrough play through of the sandbox game Minecraft. More recently, the group are known to play the sandbox game Garry's Mod, and the action free roam game Grand Theft Auto Online. They are well known for their role playing series Shadow of Israphel, YogLabs, MoonQuest, MarsQuest, and JaffaQuest, as well as their live action series. In May 2017, the Yogscast announced they would be publishing their first game, Caveblazers, which released later that month.
History
Founding and establishment (2008–2011)
The group was founded in July 2008 by Lewis Brindley ("Xephos") and Simon Lane ("Honeydew"), with the creation of their YouTube channel on 8 July 2008, and their first YouTube video uploaded on 25 July 2008. Brindley and Lane first began by recording podcasts and YouTube commentaries on World of Warcraft from their own homes, joined by friends from their guild. The name Yogscast was derived from the title letters of their World of Warcraft guild Ye Olde Goone Squade, which itself originated from the forum community of Something Awful.
In December 2010, they recorded a Minecraft video series which gathered a large number of views and subscribers, and catapulted them to popularity. On 3 May 2011, Brindley and Lane officially incorporated the Yogscast as a registered company. They also moved into a house together in Reading which they also shared with Hannah Rutherford ("Lomadia"). In October 2011, the Yogscast's main YouTube channel — YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon — hit one million subscribers, making it the biggest YouTube channel in the United Kingdom at that time.
Other members of Ye Olde Goone Squade subsequently joined Brindley and Lane in creating their own content under the Yogscast brand. Rutherford initially ran a secondary channel for the Yogscast that later became her own channel to create her own content, while other early associates such as Duncan Jones ("Lalna"), Paul Sykes ("Sjin"), and Chris Lovasz ("Sips") created their own channels to record their own videos, marking the start of the Yogscast family.
Early difficulties (2011–2012)
The Yogscast team held their own panel at MineCon 2011, where they showcased some of the work of the Minecraft community. Following the event, the group came under fire from Minecraft creator Markus Persson, who stated that he would no longer work with the group, citing use of profanity and unprofessional behaviour. These claims were questioned by some MineCon attendees as well as game commentator TotalBiscuit. The Yogscast responded on Reddit and via a YouTube video, denying the accusations and expressing their disappointment and frustration with the organisation of MineCon, as well as their respect for Persson and the Minecraft community at large. Persson later apologised for the misunderstanding and retracted his accusations, attributing the statements to stress and miscommunication. To date, however, the Yogscast have not published further coverage of subsequent MineCons, nor have they ever worked professionally with Persson.
In 2012, the Yogscast started a Kickstarter campaign to develop a video game called Yogventures!. The goal of $250,000 was quickly reached, with a full total of $567,000 eventually being raised by 13,647 donators. The project was cancelled, however, in July 2014. Backers were compensated with a copy of the game TUG by Nerd Kingdom, who also took hold of all developmental Yogventures! artwork and source code.
Growth in popularity (2012–2016)
Despite the setbacks, the Yogscast continued to grow at a rapid pace. Brindley and Lane moved operations from their bedrooms to their new headquarters in the New Bond House in Bristol, which they dubbed "YogTowers". The other members of the Yogscast also moved in to the office to consolidate their operations in a shared space.
In June 2012, the channel became the first channel in the United Kingdom to reach one billion views, and by June 2013, the Yogscast had acquired five million subscribers on their main channel. The Yogscast had more than a dozen employees as of July 2012. A wide variety of content creators such as Martyn "InTheLittleWood" Littlewood and Hat Films who were not part of the original World of Warcraft group also joined the Yogscast family.
The Yogscast also participated in exhibitions and events throughout the United Kingdom where they would perform live shows and organise signings at events like the Insomnia Gaming Festival and the London Comic Con.
Further expansion (2016–present)
Citing professional difficulties, Yogscast left Maker Studios in 2016 and set up their own multi-channel network. Numerous content creators such as Matthew "Caffcast" Meredith, BasicallyBea, Radderss, GeestarGames, Overwatch Central, and Vidiots have since joined as part of the larger Yogscast network.
In 2016, Microsoft partnered with the Yogscast to produce and manage their Xbox On channel on YouTube on behalf of Xbox UK.
In 2017, the Yogscast moved out of New Bond House and shifted to new, larger offices at the King William House in Queen Street, with new amenities and upgraded equipment. Amongst the facilities, it has dedicated recording suites, which in the future could be rented out to other content producers to create and record content.
The main YouTube channel, "YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon", had 7,257,236 subscribers as of 24 July 2018 and a total of 3,841,823,104 video views as of 6 August 2018. The YouTube page for the main channel listed 32 other featured channels as of 9 August 2018.
The Yogscast Twitch channel had 707,148 followers as of 9 August 2018 and a total of 86,276,653 video views as of 9 August 2018.
Productions
Video series
World of Warcraft
The Yogscast's World of Warcraft videos were the first videos released by the Yogscast and largely took the form of parodic how-to videos. In July 2010, Brindley and Lane also began a series of play-through videos previewing the Cataclysm expansion pack's closed beta. Much of the Yogscast's initial popularity was due to media and blog coverage of these videos, with Joystiq (later becoming Engadget) regularly covering them as they were released.
Minecraft
One of the most popular video features of the Yogscast are their many Minecraft series. In December 2010, Brindley and Lane began an ongoing series of Let's Play-style Minecraft survival multiplayer videos. As the series progressed, however, it evolved into a semi-improvised comedy drama named Shadow of Israphel. This new series led to a boom in the number of the group's YouTube subscribers, though its sporadic release schedule was halted in July 2012, following the release of episode 42. The series has not been officially cancelled.
Another of Brindley and Lane's Minecraft series from this time involves their avatars "bumbling" through player-made adventure maps. The adventure maps series began being uploaded to the main Yogscast channel in January 2011.
Live Action
The Yogscast have been able to produce and take part in larger scale projects, including live action video series. The most common of these are the group's coverage of various gaming conventions, as well as RPG sessions and studio-promoted "challenge" videos. Other notable live action productions include a discussion with television and radio presenter Jonathan Ross, a mockumentary-style interview with actor Warwick Davis, an interview with Sigourney Weaver, a promotional project with Peter Molyneux, and a series of promotional live action sketches with Ubisoft, EA, Microsoft, the BBC, Lucasfilm, Disney, Universal Studios, Blizzard Entertainment, Sony, and some smaller indie developers.
Podcasts
The YoGPoD
Podcast| The YoGPoD | |

| Length | 15 – 120 minutes |

| Original release | 5 February 2009; 15 years ago (2009-02-05) |
| Provider | Yogscast Ltd. |
The YoGPoD podcast was first released on 5 February 2009, and was intended to run alongside the group's YouTube video releases. Along with hosts Brindley and Lane, it often featured other members of their World of Warcraft guild, and was initially released with a proposed weekly schedule. Releases became more sporadic over time, however, to the point that "YoGPoD 42: Strawnana" came out on 4 July 2012, 5 months after its predecessor. A Halloween-themed YoGPoD, "YoGPoD 44: Halloween Spack-2-cular" was released on 28 October 2012, followed by "YoGPoD 45: Halloween Spack-3-cular" on 30 October 2013. Following the 2013 Halloween YoGPoD, there was a short run of releases from October 2015 to January 2016, before the schedule paused again.
On 9 July 2018, a surprise Halloween-themed YoGPoD, "YoGPoD 51: Halloween Spack-10-cular" was released to celebrate a decade of Yogscast content, despite the episode being recorded and released far from Halloween.
The YoGPoD has no strict structure, but one of the more prominent features has Lane impersonate public figures that Brindley then "interviews". Brian Blessed, Warwick Davis and Elizabeth II are often mocked in this fashion.
The podcast reached #1 on the iTunes UK Podcasts chart on 4 July 2012, following the release of "YoGPoD 42: Strawnana".

Triforce! is a gaming and general discussion podcast hosted by Brindley, Sips and Pyrion Flax (Edward Forsyth). It was first released on 23 March 2016. The podcast is posted alongside The YoGPoD and features the trio talking about various ideas centred on gaming but also expand to current topics and sporadic thoughts. The structure of the podcast is fairly loose, with an introduction, miscellaneous topics, a gaming section, a reading from Pyrion Flax's homebrew fan fiction "Bodega" (Episode 19 to Episode 43) and a Q and A from Twitter followers at the close of the podcast.
In 2017, the official YoGPoD YouTube channel was rebranded for the Triforce! podcast. A spinoff audiobook style series, titled Bodega, was also debuted. The series features excerpts of the regular Triforce!, podcast where Pyrion Flax narrates his homebrew fanfiction.
Live broadcasts
Further information: The Yogscast § Charity initiativesThe Yogscast Christmas Livestreams, which has been known as the Yogscast Jingle Jam as of 2014, are a series of live streams that are shown over the course of December each year with the intention to raise money for charity.
High Rollers D&D is a Dungeons & Dragons series being played on the Sunday Tabletop RPG Show, part of the daily Yogscast live stream schedule. The show is broadcast live on the Yogscast Twitch channel on Sundays from 5pm GMT.
Charity initiatives
Since 2011, the Yogscast have organised a series of live streams every year in December to benefit charity. The idea began when fans would send presents to Brindley and Lane during the Christmas season, but they would instead insist that the money be donated to charity.
The Yogscast started their first charity live stream in December 2011 with the intention to raise money for Oxfam's Give a Goat programme to "send locally-sourced and vaccinated goats to families living in poverty." As part of their charity drive, the group hosted a live stream on Twitch every day in December while viewers were encouraged to donate to the charity through the JustGiving website. The live streams were broadcast out of the basement of the house which Brindley, Lane, and Rutherford shared at that time. A total of £66,040.30 was raised, exceeding the target goal of £60,000. The Yogscast was named JustGiving's Most Popular Fundraiser of 2012 for this achievement.
For the 2012 holiday season, the Yogscast team conducted another charity drive for Oxfam called Honeydew's Honey Drive. As an improvement over the previous year, they upgraded to streaming from a dedicated studio in their new offices in Bristol. In addition to viewer donations through the JustGiving website, the team also raised additional proceeds through the sale of Twitch subscriptions, merchandise and Christmas songs to be donated to charity. They also worked with other YouTube content producers such as Hat Films, GameChap, TotalBiscuit, and Athene. Honeydew's Honey Drive was successful in raising £240,568.25, more than triple that of the previous year. The group were again nominated for JustGiving's Most Popular Fundraiser of 2013, and received a Special Recognition Award at the JustGiving Awards ceremony.
In 2013, the Yogscast hosted the Dwarven Dairy Drive. For this and subsequent charity drives, donations were made through to Humble Bundle instead of JustGiving, which allowed donators to receive an assortment of games as a token of appreciation, and also allowed the donations to be directed at multiple charities rather than just one. This charity drive attracted considerably more donators than previous livestreams, and raised a total of $1,159,746.33, triple that of the previous year.
In 2014, the Yogscast branded their live stream charity drive as the Yogscast Jingle Jam, which has remained the theme for every year's charity drive since then. The Yogscast Jingle Jam 2015 invited special guests to the live streams including major YouTube celebrities such as CaptainSparklez and Tobuscus.
Subsequent years have seen the charity drive break records in quick succession. The Jingle Jam 2016 raised a total of $2,577,801.17, more than double their previous record in 2013. The Jingle Jam 2017 was even more successful, raising $500,000 in the first hour, and breaking the 2016 record within the first week. By the end of the charity drive, it had raised a grand total of $5,245,772, again more than twice that of the previous year.
In all, as of January 2018, a cumulative total of $11,632,005.53 has been donated from all of the Yogscast's Christmas charity drives.
