Podcast Rodeo for Sept. 9: Ear 1


To mark the Dreamcast's eighth birthday, we were going to solely feature podcasts that are Dreamcast-centric. Surprising no one, we came up empty. We hope that you can still enjoy this week's offering despite its lack of colorful swirls.

EGM Live: With little fanfare, EGM Live has gone from a little brother of 1UP Yours to a really entertaining listen in its own right. Instead of a long show, they've switched to a more broken up format, with each episode containing a series of features. Just this week, for example, you'll hear Factor 5 defending Lair from critics and hear from a couple of moms who Nintendo is targeting to spread the Wii message for them.

Video Game Jocks: Arrgh! We're angry at the VGJs. The idea of using Kanye West's new song "Stronger" as an intro is so good that we wish we'd thought of it. Ah well, we're going to rise above and recommend that you go listen to all the talk of Halo, Halloween and (war)Hawk that you can handle.



Joystiq Podcast: "How can I be on the Joystiq Podcast?", you wonder aloud to no one in particular. This week, you'll find out the answer: Invest in a boat (or hydrofoil) that can reach the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Also discussed: Alternate names for the bathroom.

1UP Show: We're linking to 1UP Yours this week, but it's 8/31 you need to be listening to. We meant to hit it last week and just couldn't pass up mentioning it. The original 1UP Yours four hosts reunited for a special show at PAX. If you're not a fan, this will mean nada. If you're a listener though, it's an entertaining trip down the (admittedly kind of short) podcast memory lane.

OK, we're done. Comments ahoy!
