From tombs and skeletal remains to ghosts and everlasting life, Lara's world presents a mixed view of what happens when we die.

Welcome back to Raidercast! For the premiere of Season 2, I sat down for a world-first interview with the one and only Jonell Elliot, the voice of Lara Croft 1999-2003! 

The S1 finale of Raidercast is for the community, by the community. A love letter to Tomb Raider and Lara Croft across the ages, with personal stories of the impact they've had on our lives. This is why the series is still important! 

What if Lara Croft wasn't the star? In the Survivor timeline, Lara's father is massively important to the story. We investigate her 'daddy's issues', and ask what if we had a Tomb Raider game where he was the main character instead, and how would it work? 

How does Tomb Raider's depiction of demons and demonology compare to our real-world myths? This episode strayed into some pretty dark territory. I don't expect it'll actually give anyone nightmares, but some parts are chilling! Just don't listen in the dark, and don't go wandering off into any lakes if you think you can hear a baby crying, ok?

Venture back to the myths of ancient Egypt with a special guest, and behold the war of Horus and Set! 

In this episode I'm going to blow the lid off an in-game conspiracy that was hidden in plain sight since the very beginning. Join me as I investigate the artefacts of Tomb Raider, the race behind them, and a grand unifying theory that ties everything together.
