I believe that here at NWR, we have one of the best podcast crews on the interwebs PERIOD RFN was my first podcast ever a little over a year ago and now I'm totally addicted to them. No disrespect to the NWR staff, but I had to search for more to feed my hunger.
So one year later, here's a list of what I listen to and what I think their Pro's and Con's are or a quick rundown of the podcast. If you listen to some of the same, let us know what YOU think. And please share some of your listening taste if there not listed here.
Radio Free Nintendo: A eloquent Nintendo based podcast
With Greg Leahy, the BEST podcast editor on the net, classing up the joint with his UK swag, DR. Metts, the boss that’s not the boss but don’t tell him, he doesn’t like it….., James “F’n” Jones, the pissed off opposite of Darth Vader and Mr Diamond J, the token black guy….. wait he’s….
This group gives one of the best collective conversations about games, Nintendo or any other, on the internet PERIOD
Podcast Beyond: Sony Playstation focus
PRO- Hilarious…… Greg Miller is a time and a half and keeps you on your toes. Colin is super smart and Ryan is a delight to us all. It’s a “Conversational” podcast that has structure and a cult following. BEYOND! that it is by far the best Playstation Podcast….E V E R…
CON- The only thing I think is "wrong" with this podcast is......
Nintendo World Report's News Cast: Nintendo's dirty laundry aired here
If you’re tired of guessing what’s being released on the Wii, DS/DSi, DSi ware. Wii ware and the occasional Virtual Console, this is your one stop shop. With a side of sarcasm and great forum interaction, look no further.
The Don Tony and Kevin Castle Show: Can you Smelllllllll what the......!
Don Tony and Kevin Castle give their OPINIONs on insider information of WWE, TNA, and RoH. IT’s the REAL stuff that happens in Pro Wrestling…. I know that that’s a oxymoron but it’s entertaining and accurate.
Game Scoop: Multiplatform Video Games
PRO- The IGN editors get's inside info directly from publishers/developers, the cast is usually pretty humorous and the team is usually comprised of the executive editors of all of the main channels(PS3,360,Nintendo,PC) At the end of the show they also play a piece called 8bit radio/Bleeps&Bloops...
CON- Knocking boots seems like an inadvertent shot at nerd love, good thing it has its own podcast now. Most times their topics are covered by IGN's other podcasts which air earlier in the week.
Keeping it reel: Upcoming Movies
PRO- Again being a IGN podcast, they get the down and dirty and the true insights on movies being filmed and optioned, and who will play your favorite comic charter.
CON- Some of the movies mentioned are YEARS away, but that's the nature of the game.
Nintendo Voice Chat: Nintendo focused
PRO- Yet another IGN podcast with rich history. Lately the current cast has been tons of fun and has re-implemented a new age of fan art.
CON- For those who LOOOOVED Bozon, don't care for it anymore and they just lost a 13 year IGN vet, Craigwaaaaaaaay! You will be missed…
In this Thread/1up Radio/???: Multiplatform news
At one point you definitely got the technical aspects of the gaming industry delivered to you but every since the departure of Garnett Lee.....
IT's still tolerable but recently you can classify it "rebuilding" at best.
Weekend Confirmed: Multiplatform and Board Games
PRO- You get a real taste of what structured Podcasts can offer. Having the Godfather makes it pretty cool though. It has a musical break that’s usually pretty cool. And MaDD remixes of the show it self.
CON- Could use some chapter breaks.
Three Red Lights: All XBOX 360 related material
PRO- If you're a XBOT, this is your crowd. They are a direct reflection of most gamers that exclusively play XBOX. The conversations can get a bit WILD and belligerent.
CON- They are a direct reflection of most gamers that exclusively play XBOX. They were on a long hiatus and upon return their first topic was, erections....
The Wiire: All About Wii
It's been a while since I've heard it because I stop listening. Ian M. and Mike S. were the hosts, one sounds/act like a 12 year old and the other is just a pissed of editor that no longer cares for the Wii, but truthfully that's almost normal.
Hot spot @ game spot: Multiplatform
Another I no longer listen to, every game is either RAD or not Xboxish enough so they just crapped all over it. Their homework assignments were cool but that and ERSB theater were the only highlights.
NWR's Radio Trivia: Podcast Edition: A bit difficult to explain but a delight to the world.
Soundtracks to Games of yester year and thister year. Great fan interaction( you chose the Song and the rest of us do the guessing) From time to tome there has been a live web show where the fun is at its max. The Young Plumber is the host and has rotating guests from the NWR Staff. The only thing that would make this podcast a bit better would be chapter breaks at the different tracks to make it easier for replaying and a list of songs in the show description that shows up in ACC, but that defeats the purpose.
IGN Girlfight: Multiplatform.... all Ladies
This IGN podcast gives you a slightly different angle on how REAL women gamers consume, rate, care and write about games and gaming topics.
G4TV Feedback: Multiplatform Video
For the most part it’s a good wrap up of what they cover on their site and what they plan to have on their television programming. Lead by Adam Sessler makes it a winner.
Sesslers soapbox: ARRRRG!
Exactly how it sounds and it’s insanely entertaining from time to time.
The Official Nintendo Magazine Podcast
It’s like listening to a room full of Greg Leahys. Straight from the UK!!
