Sonic’s Ring

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:45:07 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider and is part of our user submitted podcasts feature)

Sonic’s Ring is a weekly geek culture podcast featuring two Scotsmen and an Englishman. Every Monday we run a gambit of discussion on the four pillars of geekery – movies, TV, video games and comics.

Each episode we pick the bones of the newest releases and some classics too while trying to maintain a bit of friendly banter. If you are looking for high brow dissecting of what is new, you are at the wrong place. If you want to hear three geeks have a bit of lighthearted discussion, check us out – we don’t bite!

PS Nation Podcast

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:07:11 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider and is part of our user submitted podcasts feature)

Joel, Glenn, and Josh discuss anything and everything PlayStation, and other gaming items as well.

This is a weekly show that is almost always posted on Thursday nights. In over 3 years, we have never missed a week, because we hate ourselves…

All 3 of us are in our 30′s-40′s and have all been gamers for many years. This is an independent show and is not affiliated with Sony whatsoever. We are also the first show to appear in the Community Theater in PlayStation Home, with regularly updated video features.

Show length can range normally from 90-120 minutes, but we have been known to go past 3 hours on occasion.

Interactive Distractions

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:33:52 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider and is part of our user submitted podcasts feature)

Hello Everyone! We, here at InDis, were recently turned on to CastMedium after we bought Android phones and were looking for a decent substitute for iTunes. One of our listeners recommended CastMedium and we have to say this has been the optimum choice for anything to do with podcasts on our Droid.

That being said, we always discuss what can provide our podcast with more listeners and I brought up CastMedium. We feel there is a ton of great content and commentary to give and would look to CastMedium to help us do so. But why would people like Interactive Distractions?

We always have seen ourselves as a “bar talk” kind of podcast. With 4 InDis members (3 audio and 1 video editor) that range from ages 28 to 33, we strive for nothing but a great conversation with good friends in a casual space (most of the time with drinks involved.) That being said, opinions can vary and a lot of times, we have to definitely settle beef on air.
Aside from our features, we discuss what games have been distracting us, news, releases, listener e-mails, and voicemails. We dedicate ourselves to our listeners. Every decision we make regarding InDis has their enjoyment at the forefront of our minds.
Finally, we have tons of great things coming in the future! The 2nd Annual INDISFEST in Atlanta, Extra Life (our 24hr gaming marathon for charity), great interviews coming soon, and even more quality video on Interactivedistractions.com and YouTube.

We hope you all take interest. We release every Monday and luckily, that’s a rather light gaming podcast day here on CastMedium (wink-wink.)

Notable podcasts to check out:

Episode 130 – Our interview with Mark Meer (Commander Shepard from Mass Effect!)
Episode 123 – We discuss objectivity in review houses
Episode 121 – Whats the difference between homage and plagarism?
Episode 113 – One of my favorite eppy’s, but its the very end that makes me smile

The Bear Swarm! Podcast

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:01:49 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider and is part of our user submitted podcasts feature)

We’re more of a table-top gaming podcast but we recently started to branch out in our discussion to include video games and other geek culture topics. We’ve done a handful of interviews with table-top RPG industry figures including:
http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-94-visioncon-2010
http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-72-gencon-eddy-webb-jared-sorensen
http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-71-gencon-john-wick

Our recent episodes have had video game topics explictly though the first hundred episodes also contain some video game discussion, even if it wasn’t the main focus of an episode.

http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-112-burning-mobile-npcs

From our About Us page:

Bear Swarm! Podcast features a group of, roughly, four friends who all game together. We’re vulgar, crude, and sometimes offensive but we’re always laughing. The group has seen a number of faces and is always looking to expand our host roster. Varying experiences and opinions in our cast means hopefully you can find someone in our team that you can relate with and trust. Be warned, we don’t censor our broadcast. Not family friendly and only safe for work if you’ve got headphones.

Thanks for your consideration.

The Multiplaying Podcast

Slurms — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:19:50 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider and is part of our user submitted podcasts feature)

Multiplaying is gaming as life allows. The hosts are gamers with responsibilities, who realize that having said responsibilities sucks at times. But, instead of making a podcast to bitch about that, we made one to talk about our stress reliever of choice; gaming. The show actually started as CoTcast, a podcast dedicated to Warhammer Online. As the group running the show slowly shifted from playing WAR, Multiplaying was born to keep the podcast going. Please don’t go in thinking you’ll hear some breaking news, strategies, or spec recommendations for your favorite MMO class, instead, expect to hear other gamers talk about what they’re drinking, playing, and thoughts on games in general mixed with the occasional obscure movie or Futurama reference.

Most people who enjoy the show tell us that they do because it reminds them of talking with friends about games. We hope you feel the same! Please check us out and let us know what you think over at Multiplaying.net.

Our most recent episode is 36, which includes our post E3 coverage. You can download that directly here: http://media.libsyn.com/media/multiplaying/MP_36.mp3

Midwest Nerds Podcast

JoelG — Thu, 27 May 2010 16:00:11 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider)

The Midwest Nerds Podcast features four regular guys from Minnesota, North Dakota, and Iowa discussing everything that nerds from the Midwest might find interesting. Jason, the host and producer, uses his skills as a professional radio personality to craft a show that possesses polish and style. Joel spends his time dabbling in and analyzing as many games as possible, while Nick tends to focus on the social and multiplayer aspects of gaming. The world’s foremost Zombie Survival expert, Dr. Steven Nelson, rounds out the crew.

Episodes typically start with a raucous chat about the latest gaming news in the opening segment, Tour de Blogz, which features the most interesting tidbits the guys manage to find around from around the web. Next up comes Recent and Rediscovered, with details about both new and old games that have dominated the Midwest Nerds’ lives for the last week. After the break comes the feature segment with varying themes each week, though recurring favorites include Wax Philosophical, Wallet Watch, and Game/Set/Match. Bringing it home at the end of every episode is Steve’s Zombie Tip of the Week, where the forward-thinking guru shares vital information that will help you when the dead rise from their graves.

This show doesn’t feature jaded industry insiders or journalists who get free games, but instead has regular guys who are still in touch with the hobby level of gaming. Thankfully, however, that doesn’t mean they need to sacrifice production values or intelligent discussions.

Snatchcast from Pixelsnatch

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:09:08 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider)

Pixelsnatch’s Snatchcast (and accompanying URA Snatchcast) are comedy shows about games. The Internet is full of gaming podcasts that regurgitate the week’s news. On Snatchcast we talk about the games we’re playing and looking forward to, but you probably won’t find the same games everyone else is already talking about here. Because we’re based in Japan, we talk about the games and gaming culture of Japan a lot, and you’ll get tons of content you’d never get from a mainstream American outlet. But most of all, get ready to laugh! Visit http://www.pixelsnatch.com or search for Pixelsnatch in iTunes to subscribe.

No Quarter

Matthew Floratos — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:01:39 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider)

How would you describe Matthew Floratos? He’s like a quasi-lucid one man band who, by the second half of the episode, has turned into a hyper neurotic George Costanza, if that’s at all possible. Perhaps 1UP.com user ‘adammcdorman’ said it best when he commented: “I just listened to the first 15 seconds of your podcast, and I’m hooked on (as creepy as it sounds) your speech pattern… adding to iTunes now.”

It’s No Quarter, the one man gaming podcast that tackles the tough, large scale issues without once giving any quarter to anybody, anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s sex in video games, mature video games, review scores, or game of the year awards, Matthew seems to be angry about something. But anger is an underrated emotion – anger’s good. It gets stuff done. And here’s Matthew getting stuff done, to. He gives no quarter, and expects none back.

First time listeners might want to listen to No Quarter #13, which covers John Davison’s gaming predictions for the year of 2010, through to #16, which covers online gaming behavior, and how the cursing and the homophobia and the misogyny and the anti-anthropic commentary is a social issue rather than one limited to gaming. The show is weekly, with occasional specials along the way. It’s No Quarter, with Matthew Floratos.

Squadron of Shame’s “SquadCast”

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:32:47 +0000

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider)

“Games of Shame”… you know you have them. They sit in your closet, collecting dust; little jewels that you always tell yourself you are going to play, but never get around to. Well, that’s about to change, soldier. You’ve been drafted to join the Squadron of Shame.

Here, we paratroop into the bargain bins and the far reaches of our game collections to rescue the under appreciated games that deserve to be saved. From there, we battle through the trenches as a squad. Upon mission completion, we take a moment to break down what made the whole experience worth fighting for by sharing war stories, reflections, and cigars.

But the fight isn’t just on the front of retro games. Any game deemed “fit for duty” by command can be put on the pile. At the end of the day, the reason we fight isn’t just to discover new experiences, it’s to answer that simple and fundamental question:

‘Why do we play?’

“Now suit up…the pile awaits.”

Notable games covered are: Star Control II, Pathologic, Silent Hill 2, Fallout, and Grim Fandango.
