1946 Roy Dale Pat Radio Show

With great, large, ultra hopes of doing another podcast in the future.  I shall do a round up and review podcasts I've been listening two through out my week.

This Week:


A more detailed review of this weeks ramblings after the jump...



1up Yours & 1up FM

-Okay...although i bunched them together, there are two significant differences with the last two shows of 1up Yours and 1up FM.  The first significant difference would be that 1up FM has a crazy interview with Jonathan Blow & David Hellman the creators of Braid.  Very interesting show, considering i've come to hate 1up FM with a passion. It seems to be a much 'boring-er' podcast since Jenn Tsao stopped hosting.

1up Yours is pretty high energy this week. Almost 'too high energy'.  The whole show takes place at the 1up panel discussion @ this years PAX


The Moth

-My girlfriend hipped me to this show.  I've listened to the most recent one of the Carpenter dude who finds a reason to stay in New York.  It's interesting...which is all I ask of my podcasts [yep...i'm looking at you NPR...stop being boring or else]. I have yet to go the it's backlog, but the stories or short and meaty so it is just a matter of time until i'm all caught up.

Joystiq

-Second to GFW my favorite and funniest podcast this week does not disappoint.  From the discussion of SNAX to Too Human I was LOL'n and ROFFLING while working.  One thing i just don't understand is with Ludwig's illness [that being existing in Africa] why can't they figure out the whole Skype comm?  Now there is a bet within each show how many times will calls be dropped.  Fortunately, this weeks show has the fewest dropped calls.  There's a feather in your cap Joystiq.

President's Weekly Radio Address

-Granted I personally may not be his biggest fan.  I don't know why I've been doing this for the past year, but really do like listening to the dope[at least in this format].  This past week he talked about energy and today he posted up his feelings on Labor Day.  

Sword & Laser

-A good majority of the time i listen to podcasts are spent listening to stories or product reviews.  In this case of the Sword & Laser podcast we have a healthy combination of both.  It is pretty much a book club for Sci-Fi/Fantasy readers [beware if they podcast about a book you haven't read yet...it will be spoiled]. This week was Watership Down a book i'm now psyched about reading.

GFW Radio

-My favorite of all the podcast I listen to [including Gamescoop which is missing from this weeks list]. From Jeff's uncomfortable feelings on all things future technology realated to Sean's feelings on saying 'Hi' to fans and what attention it should garner.  And the end of 'Chuff Love'...sadness, but with light at the end of the tunnel.

Tekzilla


-My Favorite out of my little group of video podcast [over 1up Show & DL.TV].  This week they have a very sober Garnett Lee from 1up and Patrick Norton dropping the tech knowledge on viewers and helpful links for those who want to test the limits of their gaming PC.  A great show...as always.
