RJ Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Retronauts is back w/ a "new format" designed (hopefully) to cut down on the shouting-over/interrupting each other, which they were notoriously guilty of. & Jenn Frank is back... Will listen tonight, report later. Edited April 29, 2009 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Retronauts is back w/ a "new format" designed (hopefully) to cut down on the shouting-over/interrupting each other, which they were notoriously guilty of. & Jenn Frank is back... Will listen tonight, report later. IIRC Retronauts discussed stuff made before 1993 so it was actually a worthwhile listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The host now talks to only 1 or 2 people at a time, no more roundtable "discussion". The bulk of it was on Vandal Hearts which I skipped, the listener letter segment had lots of retro talk, even mentioned some supposedly excellent Atari 2600 pinball game I'd never heard of. It was Jenn's farewell episode, headed to Chicago from Frisco. She had a couple ditz moments but also a couple tearjerker stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRV Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah that must be it! Said it started w/ a "B". I'm pretty sure she mentioned it by name in an earlier show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segataritensoftii Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Though not necessarily retro, or even pre-crash retro, I find Eegra.com's Octopodcast to be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm strongly considering doing a 20-minute, bi-weekly retrogaming podcast. I'd like to do it, but it's mostly a matter of making sure can bring something new to the table. Is there anything out there you guys would LIKE in a retro podcast that isn't being done, or could be done better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything out there you guys would LIKE in a retro podcast that isn't being done, or could be done better? More stuff from the pre-NES era would be my vote. More coin-op, more early day home consoles like Intellivision, Odyssey, etc. Everything from the mid-80's and onward has been done to death.

You know what? I'l just tell you: skip the ET on the 2600 discussion. It has been beaten to death by gaming websites. Try something fresh & original. He's got some good ideas as to what belongs in a podcast. Also, I'm catching up on IGN's Retro City ("Retrocity") p/casts. Didnt think the shorter ones would have much info, but they're not bad, & the host is quite professional. Edited May 8, 2009 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
