Podcast Rodeo for April 28: Your Ear ... Is Mine!

GFW Radio: Just listen to the first two minutes. You can thank us later.
1UP Yours: This week on 1UP Yours, Luke Smith records his last episode of the show before he stuffs his objectivity into a man cannon, shoots it into the sun and spins madly as dollar bills with Master Chief's face on them fall in a shower from the sky. Farewell, Luke!
Chatterbox: Fresh from a triumphant visit to the Joystiq Podcast, Chatterbox wins the official "You're Late to the Party" award by complaining about King Kong: The Movie: The Game for the 360. Playing the game was apparently just an act of desperation in pursuit of that accursed Old Spice Gamer Picture, which holds within it not only a fresh scent, but the power to drive men mad.
CAGcast: Episode 73 is titled "The One with Vagina Clown," which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about it. Or, at least, we hope so. Also, in accordance with federal law, Cheapy D and Wombat tell you how to get games for a shiny nickel and some soft shoe.
EGM Live: The EGM staff marks the anniversary of their podcast with tales of 360 death hitting close to home and considering playing TMNT to complete the Old Spice rewards challenge (See? Madness!). Also, crew members play a Wii port, ostensibly so they can more confidently make fun of Wii ports.
Mega64: In a discussion that could not have been further removed from video games, the Mega64 crew tries to figure out why old people make up different names for common things, like Rocco's grandmother's insistence that the movie Heavyweights was, in fact, titled Fat Gang. A bit more on topic, some behind-the-scenes info is provided about their latest video.
So, that does it for this week, comment here if there's a favorite podcast of yours you'd like us to give a listen to! And if it's awful, we'll ban you! ... Well, we won't ban you. But we'll look at you with a quizzical expression, which is way worse.

Make sure you listen to Gamespot's "The Hot Spot." It covers all the video game news of the week, and it pretty damn funny as well.

Also worth checking out is the DZPodcast, three british blokes chatting about games without any of the fanboyism or pretention. Great Stuff.

Great idea for a regular article....keep it up!
Agree with earlier poster, Hot Spot is good (not as good as 1Up Yours but still good).
IGN's Scoop and AFK aren't bad either, tho I'm not necessarily saying they should be on this list.

Trolling is an environmentally destructive process and is banned by many developed countries. Please show more respect for the earth!

Gonintendo's podcast is good. You use their site all the time in your news stories so you should plug their podcast.

What about the podcast hosted by Joystiq's own Blake Snow, Infendo Radio?

Wasn't /pizza a command on EQ? Didn't it list all the local pizza places near you or something?

No love for Game Theory?
Game Theory's podcast (previously Next Generation podcast) is easily the best on the net every single week. Informative, insightful, funny. Awesome show.

I host 360Arcadians Live!

Our podcast is dedicated to all things 360. Last week we had a developer from FASA studios give us the lowdown on Shadowrun, and previous guests have included Xbox Canada's Jade, the entire cast of Xbox360Fanboy, as well as members from the 360Arcadians forums.
We're fairly new but I think the podcast is alot of fun to listen to.

Hey where's NooBTooB? It's one of the best independent podcast out there not tied to any major gaming publication and has been going strong weekly for almost a year now. There's a video and audio versions, and reviews of all the new games out every week and preview new releases for the next week (most podcasts just cover gaming news).

'course, I'm one of the hosts, so I'm biased :). But if our severe drubbing of Pokemon doesn't hook ya then I don't know what will.

Gamercast Network's Video Game Show is usually a very funny gaming podcast.

People have to check out these two awesome video game music podcasts!
Gamewave Podcast
http://www.gamewavepodcast.com/
VGM Megacast
http://www.vgmmegacast.com/
They play a lot of amazing video game inspired music as well as talk about current and classic gaming.

Guys, thanks for all the feedback. Just so you know, if you didn't see your favorite, don't sweat it. It's not that I'm ignoring them, just want to spread the love around. Keep your eyes peeled.
