Alright, I wrote this little piece on my blog and decided to bring it on over to the forums because there is a bit in here about how I became an avid fan of the 4 Player Podcast, here it is.
I am an avid listener to podcasts, and I am always looking for new podcasts to listen to, which got me to thinking, what is it about the podcasts that I listen to habitually that makes me continually listen to them week after week, and part of it is humor, if I can find a podcast that makes me laugh out loud while I am listening to it, I immediately hit the subscribe button on itunes. So I decided to make a list of the podcasts that I thouroughly enjoy, check a few of them out and subscribe to them to help these people out, they dont have to sit down weekly to just converse about video games, but they do, and it is purely for our enjoyment.
The first podcast that I ever listened to was 4-Player Podcast, I found this podcast by looking at Left 4 Dead videos on youtube, and found a certain video called "left 4 dead brad", after watching this video a few times and looking at the 4-Player Podcast youtube page I realized that they had a podcast, at this point I had absolutely no idea what a podcast even was let alone listened to one. The first night that I started listening to the 4-player podcast I literally was up until 4am, just listening to these guys talk about video games, and found it absolutely awesome, these guys run their own website, they also use blogspot.com, and they run their own justin.tv channel where they play games nightly. To this day I check their website on a daily basis waiting for the next podcast. Now on the the other podcasts I listen to, this is running a bit long so I will just list them.
The Cagcast, Co-op (a weekly video podcast by a few guys laid off from EGM), Control Point (strictly Team Fortress 2), Destructoid Video Game Podcast, Drunken Gamers Radio(hilarious podcast), The Fanboys (a very unique podcast), Gamers With Jobs (excellent podcast), Giant Bombcast (awesome podcast), IGN - Gamescoop and Podcast Beyond (both very good), Joystiq, A Life Well Wasted (a very serious podcast hosted by Robert Ashley, very good), Player One Podcast, Rebel FM (great podcast made by a few of the guys that were laid off from EGM), Sarcastic Gamer Radio, TalkRadar (GamesRadar's podcast), The Tetris Effect (a bit adolescent, but still funny), Good Grief (a 1up.com podcast) and finally, ListenUp(another 1up.com podcast, more informative than funny, but still good). Thats it, check out a few of these podcasts if anything you're seeing interests you. Thanks for reading, take it easy.
