Podcast Rodeo for Sept. 23: Ear of a Black Hat
Don't even act like the Podcast Rodeo staff is upset that they didn't get to go to Tokyo Game Show, cause they're not. My crew of 8-eared carnival freaks don't even have time for globe-trotting, what with all the podcast listening that they have to do. ... Sniff.
The Wiire: We think The Wiire serves as a really good example of what a fancast should be. Instead of just covering the Wii and Wii-related items, the crew covers all of video games from a Wii fan's point of view. Of course, Wii business is discussed, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Virtual Console releases. Also, BioShock is discussed.
1UP Yours: Not only is this week's 1UP Yours brought to you from Tokyo, they also add old favorite John Riccardi and Kojima producer Ryan Payton. So what you're going to get is 2 1/2 hours of Tokyo impressions from a lot of different perspectives. It also sounds like a few members of the crew found a stray bottle of sake ... or eight. Of course, no matter what time zone it is, would it be 1UP Yours without drinking?
Joystiq Podcast: Of course, if you want the straight poop on Tokyo Game Show, you've got to come to your friends at Joystiq. Though tragically Justin-free, these two podcasts don't just tell you about TGS, they bring you in. You ARE there! Also, if you were anticipating Dark Sector, you can go ahead and take care of that problem right here.
The BDPE: We just don't get it. How can this podcast be the Best Damn Podcast Ever every time? And if this new episode featuring Sid Meier's kid Ryan Meier is the best, does it negate the title of the last episode? Also in this cast, god bless them, they force one of their teen listeners to go through puberty in one hour. You probably just need to listen.
OK, so that's it for this week. What your favorite podcast?
