Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I'm a huge supporter of 1UP. Their podcasts and articles are top notch.
i agree! have had a listen to all the ATB episodes now. shame that retronauts has called it quits. when you have actual journalists discussing the topics it makes it so much more informative and entertaining. havent found any other podcasts to live up to those standards but i guess thats a bit to ask.

I don't think anyone said hardcoregaming101's podcast. They're usually like 2-4 hr episodes. Seriously.

And with all due respect, the Racketboy podcast is really my favorite podcast out there. As Dave pointed out, the host is a jerk*. But it's honestly one of the most structured, professional and constantly interesting retro game shows being produced regularly.

I'm also really excited about all the suggestions in this thread. I like to load up tons of unheard shows on my phone (mp3 player) for my daily commute (hour and a half roundtrip). This thread should keep things fresh for a WHILE.

I'm not too big into podcasts, but I do watch Youtube shows and some of the users I usually watch are Happy Console Gamer, and Gamester 81.
For podcasts, I usually listen to All Gen Gamers, which is relatively new, but otherwise not so bad.

Look for Captain S. It's all about the games and hardware of the old days. Albeit, in a more heroic way than most.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Retroist.

The main page: http://www.retroist.com/

Podcast page: http://www.retroist.com/podcast-archive/
What a maneuver!
