Gamers with Jobs
Gamers with Jobs (GWJ) is a respected gaming site known for its mature community and insightful editorials on games and gaming. The GWJ podcast generally upholds that reputation, but also demonstrates anytime six friends get together, things can get silly. Hosted by site co-founder Shawn Andrich, the show has a consistent crew of five site contrbutors with occasional guests from the gaming industry. Every show starts with discussion on current games they played, then features a debate on a weekly subject, and ends with listener mail and feedback; though there are special live shows and clip shows. The episodes are well-edited and the show is a great resource for honest insight into current games, and mature discussions on relevant issues.
