Ah yes, just noticed your new moniker. Let down that you haven't found God brah. I was hoping you could tell me where he's hiding.
So yeah, podcast! Def need to find some good mics, although tbh I listen to stuff with a very wide spectrum of sound quality and it rarely bothers me. You could probably record that shit on a phone and it'd be fine! But some nice mics would rock.
I've always thought that as a UK-based non-pro podcast that you can't compete on news and the latest reviews, so it comes down to (for a gaming show) whatchabeenplaying which is fairly evergreen, news 'analysis' but only if the hosts have suitably strong opinions about the news because otherwise it's just reading GAF.
And something like a retro or gameclub feature. Personally, I adore those kinds of podcasts and would love the idea to really dig deep and have some proper arguments about classic games. We could play Pokemon for instance, that would be hilarious. I like the idea of 'having' to play an old game, and sharing thoughts with others who've done the same. It's so rare that you get to have a good talk about a game that isn't brand new, whereas the real legs of game criticism are later down the road when there is some context to pull from.
i think that if you're talking old games, then personal references and history is always quite interesting - a podcast is as much about the hosts as it is the games, and so talking about your ten year old impressions of Mario World as as interesting as talking about the game itself IMO.
Also, off topic but I've had an idea involving interviewing people about losing their virginity for the longest time. I think that would be a fascinating podcast (or even series), but obviously is a bit weird for what you were thinking.
Maybe even broaden it out from games specifically to make it about alt. culture instead so then you can talk about music and films and all that good stuff.
Bagsy being 'the cunt' on the show. If you thought my Pokerant was bad, just you people wait until you hear me really get into the flow
So yeah, was thinking about all this on my ten min walk earlier
