if anyone wants to give the final version a go and feed back that would be grand.

I have absolutely no interest in the subject material but the first ~10 minutes was well produced and entertaining.

Dante has a pod?

Found it. Wrestling. I'm out. Do a gaming one. You're a good host.

I don't have one because I am a bum which is what I am

You should do a podcast about the ending of blade runner. Like. Every week it is discussing what the ending means. You should pretend like it's been happening for 30 years, start at episode 872

In the Scottish 'games media scene' I swear there are more podcasts than there are active participants in the scene. They're like weeds.

There are? I think I'm probably glad that I'm oblivious to them.

I know, it's my idea. But you could pull it off. I wave all intellectual property in it.

Joe Rogan is alright. Not sure why people think he's a cunt. Bit strong. He has some great guests on there and very interesting discussion sometimes. His Sam Harris podcasts on religion and psychology are amazing.

He is homophobic and sexist at the very least. He is also the perfect example of someone who is too dumb to realise how fucking dumb they are, and so has an air of confidence about some of the dumb shit he says that makes other dumb fucks like him think that the dumb fucking shit he says is the truth.

Lol scathing!!

Note the sneaky lawyer trick of mis-spelling waive, so he retains the option to sue once it becomes a global sensation - claiming that he was "simply gesturing to proceed on his behalf"

Lolled.

It was autocorrect

Since Dantes putting himself out there, me and a mate have been running a Podcast since February all about boardgames. Had a decent couple of guests on including one of the guys from Twin Humanities, as well as the designer of Dead of Winter.
You can find us at www.werenotwizards.com and all the usual places.

Listened to the first 2 of revs podcast . He's not wrong about the sound on the first one, but its a huge jump up in the second. What did you do different? If less than perfect audio bothers you jump in at the second.

If you do listen to the first though, Rev and his mate are very funny, they obviously have great chemistry. It really kept my interest in a topic I've only a passing interest in, so if you're into your board games, I'd say you would really enjoy this.

I'm also intregued as to how guests will work with this, as we haven't had anyone yet. Looking forward to finding out.

We decreased the gain and sat closer to the mic.
Ideally I think you want one each realistically.
Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated.

This has given me an idea.

I'd been intending to do a games podcast once I knew what I was doing, and I had a couple of ideas, but now thanks to this, I've had another. This would scripted, rather than off the cuff, so I'd have to put a fair bit of planning into it, but here is the idea. 

This year is the 40th anniversary of a fictional BBC (or not if that's likely to land me in trouble) local radio video games show. A monthly segment, as part of the celebrations, they are being re-released weekly from the first episode from 1976 in podcast form.

The show charts the presenters playing habits, and looks at upcoming news in the world of games. The presenter will frequently make predictions about the future of the industry, almost all of which are drastically wrong, for example how home consoles will never supplant the arcades, the episode before the crash of 83 predicting that the industry will go from strength to strength on the back of the ET game, which will be even more successful than the film, and much more fondly remembered. There are occasional guest spots as well from other people, including maybe interviews with fake game designers.

I could possibly do a Garth Marenghi's Darkplace style thing where at some point in it we have the presenter and others talking about the episode. This would be difficult to intersperse in audio format, so if I did go down this route it would likely bookend it.

Would this interest anyone?

Fishing for a job?

It's an interesting idea though, but it would be a colossal amount of work.

Either way, you're talking about a significant undertaking.

Absolutely!
