Thread: Other podcasts

Started 2 months, 4 weeks ago by Erkki
Sorry if there's already been a thread about this, I couldn't find one with search. Are there any other gaming podcasts you listen to? What are they? I didn't listen to any before the Idle Thumbs podcasts started, but lately I've also been listening to Brainy Gamer , which is more serious but the guests (including Hot Scoops) often have really interesting things to say. Occasional poor ...

I apologize for seeming really opportunistic, but I think you'd do pretty good checking out a website I write for called CastMedium , where we do weekly recaps of lots of video game podcasts. If I had to make a few quick recommendations, I'd say you should definitely check out the Giant Bombcast, Drunken Gamers Radio and A Life Well Wasted, which are some of my favorites among Idle ...

The Giant Bombcast, Out of the Game, and a Life Well Wasted (if that counts) are the three others that I actually look forward to. Other than that I listen to stuff like Rebel FM, Geekbox, and the Gamespot podcasts, but they're more for noise at work than anything else. I get really annoyed at the people on Geekbox quite frequently, and possibly to an irrational degree, so I've been avoiding it ...

The RPS Wireless show is a pretty good listen. It's the podcast from the fine gentlemen at Rock, Paper, Shotgun. The sound quality can be cruddy sometimes. Maybe it's just because I'm a stupid colonial, but I really can tell any of the dudes apart. I still think it's worth a listen despite my whining. Retronauts is pretty sweet if you're into old games, even if sometimes Jeremy Parish's ...

I enjoy the Rock Paper Shotgun podcast, partially in spite of and partially because of its incredibly lo-fi nature. It's just two British guys talking into a microphone about PC games for an hour or so. I like it.

Well, I did listen to Played, but they haven't updated in a long time. Too good for your old cohosts now, Chris?

Speaking of, the Bungie Studios podcast doesn't release new episodes frquently or regularly, but it's a good listen when ...

I like A Life Well Wasted, Out of the Game and Talkradar when I can. Used to listen to the Giant Bombcast, but it really pales in comparison to Idle Thumbs (it was ironically GB that led to me checking this one out with Brad in Episode Six). I'll have about two and a half hours combined travel time each day when I start uni next week (it's only ten miles away, but bussing to Aberdeen takes a ...

Sorry I didn't make it last night. I found my car had been hit while I was in work some time yesterday, with no details left by the person that did it. So I spent half an hour in the local police station reporting it just before Grand Thumb Auto was due to start. Understandably, I wasn't really in the mood for crashing cars after that... __________________ “Incredibly hyperbolic, if not occasionally correct” - ign.com T witter / X...

Jon (Cole), I've been listening to your podcast and it's pretty cool.

As a relative newbie to the community, I don't know how well I'd fit into a podcast, but I'd be interested to try it out nonetheless if I'm wanted. Either way, I'll try to make it to GTT on Tuesday.

After going through the Hardcore History podcast I tried Dan Carlin's other podcast; Common Sense with Dan Carlin, It's like Hardcore History but about politics and current events. I found it quite enjoyable. However whether you like it will probably depend on your political viewpoint, and since Carlin's politics bypass the typical right/left divide I have no easy means of summing up what his opinion is. If you're...

Speaking of Rebel FM, I'll listen to the Game Club episodes if they're on something I'm interested in. It was quite interesting to hear some impressions on Half-Life 2 and the episodes in that format. I generally don't bother with the main show any more, though.

If this happens, can we please try to avoid stuff about wizards, boosting, or the like?

Quote: Wrestlevania : Having skimmed this thread yesterday, I really liked the sound of A Life Well Wasted . And I'm glad it caught my attention because I listened to the latest instalment on my drive into work this morning and was amazed. It's brilliant, from the people interviewed to the themes covered to the quality of the music and general production. Really, first class stuff. Made me think of the sort of radio documentaries...
