Slitherine outlines monthly schedule for The Hot Seat Season 2
The September 30 announcement paired a strategy-industry interview show with a separate Matrix Games showcase.
Slitherine has announced a monthly schedule for The Hot Seat’s second season, giving strategy and wargame fans a recurring interview show intended to cover more than the publisher’s own games. Its September 30, 2026 press release scheduled the season premiere for that evening at 18:00 CEST, with further episodes planned for the last Wednesday of each month.
The announced premiere centered on Paolo Paglianti interviewing Slitherine CEO Iain McNeil about his wargaming roots and the company’s origins. Publishing director Marco Alessandro Minoli described the show’s broader remit as including games from other publishers and developers alongside Slitherine’s titles.
That broader industry focus distinguishes The Hot Seat from the annual Home of Wargamers show, which Slitherine scheduled immediately after the September 30 premiere. The latter was billed as a showcase for Matrix Games’ forthcoming wargame lineup, rather than the interview-led program preceding it.
For readers tracking future episodes, Slitherine’s stated monthly broadcast time is 18:00 CEST. The announcement establishes the planned schedule and September 30 program, but does not confirm that those broadcasts took place or document any games revealed during the showcase.
