The Ready Up Podcast – Skyrim | Welcome to the new style Ready Up Podcasts. As will be explained we're moving away from the old podcast-by-numbers format and will be bringing you instead, a more detailed discussion about a game of the moment, along with anything else we'd like to throw in. These aren't spoiler-casts - unless we specifically say they are - they are simply some of the team talking about their experiences. This time, Kirsten, Simon and Mark talk about Skyrim, Cat-dog-men and how 'swording' someone isn't always the best thing to do! We also bring you the first of Max's Memes. Playing with mixers and mics: Dan Bendon Putting the pieces together: John Brown Making mouth sounds: Kirsten Kearney-Bendon, Simon Allen, Mark Paterson Meme'ing: Ready Up Junior Max Subscribe using iTunes or our Podcast RSS Feed Ready Up Podcast theme music courtesy of Tommy Tallarico. | 30 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great
An excellent podcast filled with well formed opinions on all aspects of the game industry. However, something needs to be done to raise the sound levels. I had my iPod on full volume, and was still barely able to hear the podcasters. This was the only letdown.
Other than that, keep up the great work!
Gaming Goodness
THE BEST gaming Podcast currently available on iTunes. Witty, informative, and I love the changing of guests - really keeps things fresh!
Though the volume issue could be helped a little, but it's a very minor gripe. Keep it up!
We Play Games!
Much like the fantastic site that spawned it, the Ready Up podcast is what happens when you get games industry professionals and passionate amateurs together and let them talk about videogames: informed opinions spoken by people who love videogames as much as you do…and then some!
Insightful, surprising and – above all – great fun, this is a superb podcast and definitely worth a listen. AND the theme tune is composed by games industry legend Tommy Tallarico!

(In reference to an earlier review, I’ve been a subscriber since the first episode and haven’t ever had any issues with the podcast's volume, so whatever problem he/she may have encountered seems to have been fixed!)
