How to fill the huge 1UP podcast void in my heart?

Practically all of the 1UP network podcasts were my favorite podcasts I listen(ed) to, and not just in the video games category, mind you. The 1UP podcasts have been the best produced and well hosted podcasts anywhere. With the announcement of UGO’s buyout of 1UP (and EGM); my podcast subscriptions dwindle and it almost feels like I’ve lost a bunch of friends (the staff of the 1up network who lost their jobs).

Right now my only other favorite remaining video game podcast is:

Joystiq podcast (iTunes link) While the production value doesn’t meet the 1UP podcasts’ high standards; these three guys have great chemistry together and I often find myself laughing at their comments. It’s a very relaxed informal podcast with just enough structure to call it a “show”.

360 Arcadians Live! (iTunes link) Had been good at times in the past, but they haven’t had enough people hosting lately. They can be childish and vulgar at times, especially when there aren’t many hosts.

I must now seek out other video game podcasts to fill the void. Some possibly notable podcasts I will be trying and reviewing in later posts:

  • Giant BombCast (iTunes link) I’ve only listened to one episode so far, and it has potential.
  • Kotaku Video Podcast (iTunes link) Just subscribed, I’ll be posting a review later.
  • Gamers With Jobs (iTunes link) A friend suggested this one after hearing it was good.
  • Player One Podcast (iTunes link) Ex-EGM staff, so this should be good.
  • Destructoid Podcast (iTunes link) Looking into it, but it’s got bad reviews… Not sure.

Please post suggestions if there are any video game podcasts you listen to that I didn’t list.

Hello. I'm Nathaniel Daught, (27) a graphic designer, artist, Mac geek, and gamer. These are my ramblings, photos, links, and art because I sometimes have too much time on my hands... One would assume that you also have too much time on your hands because you are reading this blog. Enjoy.
