Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 6 – Giant Bombcast

by Jonathan Downin in Features1079 days ago

This is a very special week.  E3 has proven to be one of the best in years, and if that weren’t enough, we have another installment of our weekly feature, Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts.  Okay, these things aren’t exactly equal, but this is a big one. Ryan Davis of the Giant Bombcast is here sharing his favorites this week and we couldn’t be happier.  If you say that you are not familiar with this podcast, we don’t believe you. It is probably literally impossible that you are on this site and don’t know the...

Cast in the Crowd | Brainy Gamer Podcast

by Jonathan Downin in Features1085 days ago

With the success of this feature 2 weeks ago, we decided to make it a bi-weekly piece.  In case you missed the first installment, the goal is to spotlight smaller podcasts that have something unique to offer which you may not have found on your own. The Brainy Gamer Podcast is hosted by Michael Abbott (@brainygamer) who is a professor of theater and film studies at Wabash College, fitting, isn’t it?  Rather than taking a traditional approach, the Brainy Gamer Podcast does something that we have heard many argue should be done when talking...

Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 5 – Player One Podcast Redux

by Jonathan Downin in Features1086 days ago

And here we have the follow up to last week’s Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts featuring the Player One Podcast.  After having CJ share his favorites, we have Greg Sewart and former 1UPer Greg Ford’s picks.  If you haven’t checked out Greg Ford’s new digs, Bitmob, you should go give it a look. We have a big one lined up for next week as well so be sure to check back next Thursday. Greg Ford [Player One Podcast | Bitmob] The BS Report (http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/podcast/archive?id=2864045) This highly entertaining...

Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 4 – Player One Podcast

by Jonathan Downin in Features1093 days ago

After a week hiatus we are back with another installment of Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts.  This week we are featuring former Electronic Gaming Monthly News Editor and current Games Producer over at Adult Swim, Chris Johnston from the Player One Podcast. The Player One Podcast crew is a strong mix of former game journalists, and even though they are no longer on the press side, they still love their games.  Their approach is similar to many other popular podcasts out there, but their casual style and focus on the pure enjoyment of gaming...

Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 3 – at1UP

by Jonathan Downin in Features1107 days ago

It’s Thursday, and that means another installment of Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts.  We started strong with Rebel FM and Gamers with Jobs and the trend continues this week with 1UP’s newest podcast host Mike Cruz of at1UP. After the UGO buyout earlier this year in January, 1UP was flying slim on podcasts.  Along with Good Grief, at1UP was launched as a somewhat new approach to podcasts at the site with an emphasis on community.  It is billed as a show that focuses on the “stories behind the stories” over at 1UP,...

Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 2 – Gamers with Jobs

by Jonathan Downin in Features1114 days ago

The first installment of Podcaster’s Favorite Podcasts was a big hit last week and this week we have another one for you.  If you missed it, in this feature we ask a podcaster/podcasters to list 3 of their top favorite podcasts and talk a little about why they like them. This week we have Shawn Andrich from Gamers with Jobs.  We have been covering Gamers with Jobs here on CastMedium for a few months now and it has proven to be one of the most thoughtful gaming podcasts out there.  While they do a typical “what you’ve been playing...

Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 1 – Rebel FM

by Jonathan Downin in Features1121 days ago

Welcome to the first installment of Podcaster’s Favorite Podcasts here at CastMedium.  This feature was born out of the idea that sometimes it’s hard to branch-out from your usual podcast mainstays.  Whether it’s due to not knowing where to start looking, or just not having time to look, it can be difficult.  Whatever podcasts we listen to, it is probably because we are interested in the commentary and opinions of the people on the shows.  This makes a podcast recommendation from these people pretty meaningful. The guidelines...

Twitter SuperList is up!

by Jonathan Downin in Blog, Features1197 days ago

We have noticed that many people coming to the site are looking to get Twitter information on their favorite podcasters, so we took it upon ourselves to make your lives just a little bit easier. There is now a central listing of all Twitter accounts.  Not everyone has one and we may have even missed a few, but head on over to the Twitter SuperList to have a look.  Let us know if we missed anything or anyone.

The state of 1UP

by Jonathan Downin in Blog, Features, Games1228 days ago

As many of you may have heard, 1UP has been bought by UGO and this means many things, many of which we don’t know yet.  One thing we do know is that The 1UP show is done.  It really is shame to see such a great and unique take on the gaming scene go away.  It was certainly something that made Fridays worth the wait every week for me. It will be interesting to see what happens to the other 1UP productions like 1UP Yours, 1UP FM and LAN Party in the wake of this.  This story will be updated as more information comes in.  We wish everyone ...
