Customer Reviews
You need to listen
People are constantly asking me how to get into games journalism, and from now on I'm pointing them straight to this podcast, made by two guys who are out there living the dream. If they're as good as they are after the first episode, I can't wait to see what they do next.
Inspiring
I've been writing about games for a couple years now (shameless plug - theeasymode.com), and this podcast is really inspiring. Each episode gives me new ideas and insights into the industry, and having a new guest on every episode is a great idea, and keeps the podcast feeling fresh and interesting. You have to check it out!
A fantastic surprise for anyone interested in the industry
This is the podcast I've been waiting for and hoping would come along for years. As a journalist who has been trying to break into the games industry since high school, and who recently landed my first regular gaming column in a print magazine, this show is invaluable to me. I've read all the "get rich from video games" books out there - almost all of them are time and money I can't get back. Not only is this show free and readily available for anyone willing to invest the time to listen to it, but the hosts are well respected and completely legit members of the industry. From the first episode alone, I know this is a show that will have me waiting on the edge of my seat for every episode's release. It sounds like they've got some really great (and well-known) guests lined up, and I can't wait to hear what they all have to say. Whether you're a 16-year-old Halo fanboy running a MySpace Blog about all the sweet games you play, or a seasoned journalist trying to find a way to start writing about your favorite hobby, this show is a must-listen.
