A number of EVE Online fans who've needed their podcast fix have been tuning in to Planet Risk in recent months, a great mix of music and commentary from players who spend most of their EVE time exploring the uncharted expanses of wormhole space. Planet Risk is a live show that airs on Split Infinity Radio on Wednesdays; hosts Luminus Aardokay and Quivering Palm make Planet Risk available as a podcast afterwards and we recommend you check it out if you haven't already. Today's show should be interesting as they will host a debate between four candidates for EVE's next Council of Stellar Management, the player-elected body that represents the wishes of the subscribers when dealing with CCP and how EVE Online is evolving.
We mentioned last week that the 4th CSM candidates have been announced but not everyone in the running had their positions on issues fleshed out in time for the CCP announcement. Since that day, more info about the 49 candidates is becoming available (thanks for pointing this out Darth Sith). Today's debate on Planet Risk will have CSM candidates TeaDaze (known to many for his commentary during the Alliance Tournament), Song Li (from the Missions Collide podcast), Helen Highwater and Mike Azariah.
The Planet Risk debate will kick off at 21:00 EVE time (just a short while from now). Although the candidates will be posing questions to one another, EVE players interested in getting involved can fire some questions at the candidates as well. Just join the "SIRADIO" and "CSM Debate" channels in-game to have your questions heard, and of course listen in to Planet Risk on Split Infinity Radio.

We debated (pun intended) on whether we should include this podcast as part of our regular episode canon as it is indeed a special show, and totally different from anything we’ve done so far. For starters we had a strict structure which we meticulously followed, we were dead serious (though a fedo joke made it into the show somehow), we were not high on spiked Quafe and for a change we didn’t do the talking. Instead, in this show we welcomed four CSM candidates to take a stand, answer a dozen questions we asked, then debate with each other and finally answered questions by the listeners.
Candidates, Helen Highwater, Mike Azariah, Song Li and TeaDaze presented their platform and their case and even though the decision of who made the biggest impression is yours to make, we got ourselves 4 quality candidates that put us in a four way dilemma about who deserves our precious vote.
We are glad to see that this first debate drew enough interest, players and candidates alike as it promotes the CSM concept and therefore we’ll run a series of debates and get as many candidates as possible on-air to share their views with you and give you a better image on their personalities and their platform.
Please, after listening don’t forget to vote on our poll on who shined through this Debate.
