Podcasts! Podcasts about Video Games!

I wasn't too keen on the way my entry on this subject devoured this page, so I whittled it down to the short and sweet.

Podcasts are fun! Podcasts about video games are even better. Some are Great! Some are bad :(. Some could even be considered mediocre. Here's a few suggestions for your listening enjoyment. 1up Yours - From the 1up network. Great crew, conversation, and format. The best overall gaming podcast out there right now. CAGCast - From CheapAssGamer. CheapyD is the man and co-host Wombat provides a nice counterpoint. Lots of interesting tidbits about Japan and occasional gaming deal/retail info. I listen every week. The HotSpot - From Gamespot. It's the guys we know and love! Always a solid show, except for some of the phone callers but even that segment has improved. Retronauts - Also from the 1up network, old school gaming chat with interesting topics. The show on the history of game music is a must listen, I was hooked after that one.

Player One
and Major Nelson also put out weekly podcasts that are worth listening to, I try to do so if I can. And if Gaming Steve or Penny Arcade ever get their act together and start posting more shows, I'll be all over those as well. I suggest staying away from the likes of Orange Lounge Radio, GamerCast Network and anything from G4. Either the hosts are grating or they just aren't cut out for radio. That's the story on gaming podcasts! Much neater this go round as well.
