Also, I got on a GFW Radio kick and went back and watched Jeff’s last show while he was still at 1UP and updated the post with the videos from that and the PAX panel.

That chemistry is obviously subjective – we all have our individual tastes. There is some undeniably positive chemistry that make some podcasts rise to the top, though. For me and all my friends, the Giant Bombcast has risen up as one of the most entertaining, satisfying gaming podcasts around. While each of the guys at Giant Bomb certainly had strong careers before forming the site, there’s a real bond between them that quickly formed into a successful website and podcast.

This is a roundabout way of saying that GFW Radio has something that most other podcasts don’t. It’s likely due to the fact that the podcast began in a time where podcasts hadn’t reached any sort of maturity. These guys came together in that time, learned the ropes, and melded together over time in some sort of geeky, smart, hilarious video game journalist Voltron. It’s sad to know that when GFW Radio hit its peak, the print side of things put it to an end. But at the same time, I think this reunion is a celebration of the great things that each of the guys have done for themselves after the Brodeo came to a close. And listening to the whole thing, you hear that it’s almost like riding a bike for these guys.
