Also, new revisionist history is strong.
Austin Walker is Editor-in-Chief of Waypoint and an erstwhile academic. He writes about the intersection of games, culture, labor, and community.

Journeymen strikers Chris Brown and Jon Parkin talk about what football is really like below the Premiership. They talk about footballers they can't stand (and name them), a sex tape one of them was involved in, which managers were shite, the realities of salaries, drinking and training, shenanigans they were involved in and so on. Every week they have another ex-pro along with them and the 2nd episode has Andy Griffin talking about his time at Newcastle, his relationship with Bobby Robson, chinning Lauren Robert, living in a bungalow being tee-total, how he ended up getting stitched up to do charity work in Mexico, how his career fizzled out etc. It's a really good listen and puts into context the reality of a football career for the vast majority of pros who never quite make it. Other guests they have had on include Billy Paynter, Dominic Matteo, Tony Warner, Chris Sedgwick and Liam Lawrence. It's just refreshing to hear a couple of footballers talking quite honestly about what life is like in the profession.

I get it is important to have these discussions, but sometimes it's just too much all the time.
I like Giantbomb the most because it is mostly purely about games, but they do address issues when needed.

Speaking of the bombcast,it not been great for a while. Nothing particularly wrong with it just boring.
I'm still confused about Nintendo getting a free pass with it comes to shitty UI,matchmaking or online features.
Any other good gaming podcasts out there?
