S1500 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) So, did I miss anything? Cake, Cuban strippers living in Canada, and the Attack of the 50 Foot Shrunken Apple Head Woman. Edited November 7, 2013 by S1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 ...Shrunken Apple Head Woman. We had one of those when I was a little kid. Creeped me out somethin' serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 We had one of those when I was a little kid. Creeped me out somethin' serious. I dunno why I remember that. It was featured in the "Homegrown Comedy Special" that aired in1984. It can only be described as a pre-YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Alright, threshold has been reached with Arcade Outsiders. I gave episode 11 an honest try, but there was a new factor in the constant interruptions of the flow to the podcast: 7-8 second length dropouts. Combine this with the pointless bell dinging, Siri voice, rick Flair "whoo!", overdone sexual innuendos on everything, Grinkers Grinkers Grinkers, that leaves about 10% of the podcast to on-topic discussion. Time to unsubscribe. As for Stalking the Retro, iTunes actually downloaded an episode. Aside from the f-bomb heavy "wtf" game segment, it's an alright podcast. There's 51 episodes.

Flack Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Couple of news items: - Neither of the the next two episode of You Don't Know Flack are game related. One is a belated Halloween episode, the other is a podcast about how to get started podcasting (a question I get a lot). I'll get back on the technical train after that. - The No Quarter Podcast is now also on ThrowbackNetwork.net, joining the Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast, the Intellivisionaries, and several other retro (but not video game) related podcasts. - I know of two new podcasts in the works, one about old technology and a new arcade-themed one. Both of those are slated to appear on Throwback Network once they go live. It's a great time for retro-loving listeners! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Speaking of retro-related podcasts, I finally broke ground on my spinoff "80s Music Break" podcast.Podcast Garden's interface for configuring things could use some work, but hey, it's free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Retro Arcade MAME podcast (RAMP?) 2+ months AWOL. Color me concerned. & what's with the 2:20 of silence at the end of the latest Retronauts? Pretty sure the Kickstarter backers didnt pay for dead air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flack Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Couple of quick notes: The Retro Computing Roundtable (RCR Podcast) has now been added to ThrowbackNetwork.net. I'm really stoked about that. Does anybody still say "stoked?" I guess I do. Both of the non-technical YDKF episodes have been posted: http://podcast.robohara.com/?p=400 (Halloween) http://podcast.robohara.com/?p=408 (About Podcasting) The "About Podcasting" one was really fun to do and features audio suggestions from Guy Hutchinson (Adventure Club Podcast, Flux Capaci-Cast, Drunk on Disney), Ferg, Earl Green from The Escape Pod, Rick and Paul from the Intellivisionaries, Doug McCoy, Carrington Vanston from No Quarter and the RCR Podcast, Sean (from Throwback Reviews, OTR Playlist, and the Android App Addicts), and the Retroist. I'm driving cross-country tomorrow to attend the Kong Off 3 in Denver this weekend, so three guesses as to what the next episode of You Don't Know Flack will cover -- and the first two Kong Off guesses don't count. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ask & ye shall receive- RAMP episode #2 appears! & I'll venture to say Arcade Outsiders reigns in the crazy this time. No guitar music. Very tolerable latest episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Sorry, that should be "reins" above. "Reigns in the crazy" would describe their previous shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I liked Rob's episode about podcasting, especially hearing from other casters about their own experiences & advice. Sadly, yesterday I try to submit a new 'cast to iTunes, and the page doesn't work. Get it together, Apple. And in other news, my playlist nicely organized all the Coast 2 Coast Pinball episodes in order. So.. Anyone else wish to cast their votes for the 2013 poddies? The virtual polls are virtually closing virtually soon. Virtual. Edited November 15, 2013 by S1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I like on RetroMAME the background is all arcade game SFX, played just at the right level so as to be audible, but not distracting. It's fun to guess which game, also when the subject matter gets a bit dull. Amusing PSA-type gag about halfway thru the show too. A promising podcast!

RJ Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 We'll know which retro podcasts are worth their salt the next few days if they DON'T mention the latest console launches- just like it's 1982 & it never hapoened...(yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 A new arcade-themed podcast has arrived! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arcade-repair-tips-qa-podcast/id345969783?mt=2 Arcade Repair Tips QA Podcast. This podcast, as you can tell, is all about arcade games & and such. There was a significant amount of pinball talk in there, which was welcome. Good flow between the hosts, and I should listen to the prior episodes to get more of a feel. But so far so good. B+ As for non-gaming podcasts, I finally broke ground & submited to iTunes my little spinoff 'cast, just for music breaks. I talk about a band, and play 2 songs from them. That's it. As for the strange episode numbers, I'm trying to spell something out. Can you find out what it is? http://www.podcastgarden.com/podcast/80smusicbreak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Submitted my spinoff podcast to iTunes(which required hoops to make an apple account to go through), which got accepted, then rejected 4 hours later. Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Why rejected? Music copyright problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Why rejected? Music copyright problems? Most likely, even though the artists I featured so far I thought would have flown under the RIAA radar. Bands that only released on vinyl, not even on major record labels I thought would be safe(but knew it was gonna happen anyway). Looking at Apple support communities, having a music-based podcast is the #1 rejection reason, which makes sense. But, I don't need no iTunes to rock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ask & ye shall receive- RAMP episode #2 appears! Do these guys have an RSS feed? I seem to remember not being able to find one on their site. Having no RSS feed is a big drawback; I hate having to check for updates all the time.

S1500 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 It's time for the 2013 podcast award winners. You can hear the audio version of it on my site, or just read the results here: 2013 Poddies Best Video Podcast to Watch Lazy Game Reviews Winner: Lazy Game Reviews. Pretty easy considering there was only 1 entry. Good snark, great production values, and doesn’t drone on forever. Covers old and some not-so-old computer games. I would have included Sprite Castle, but wasn’t subbable on itunes. Best Podcast We Miss Hearing New Episodes From 1MHZ Digital Press Retrogaming Radio Old Game Plus Winner: All of them. If you’re out there reading this, release a new episode, or release episodes more frequently. We miss you! Discussion topics most beaten to death Kickstarters YouTube Final Fantasy Loser: All of them. Please stop talking about these. Hoever, the topic(er, format) that was the true winner was the single-game episode format. Genesis Gems, No Quarter & Atari 2600 game by game does this, and it’s perfect. One game(or 2 if it’s 2600), and that’s it. Best Arcade Coin-Op Podcast Broken Token Arcade Outsiders Retro MAME Arcade Winner: Broken Token and Retro MAME Arcade Best New Pinball Podcast Coast 2 Coast Pinball Pinball Soul Winner: Coast 2 Coast Pinball - No shortage of episodes to choose from. Just straight honest pinball talk. Best Podcast to Unsubscribe From Video Game Rescue RF Generation Winner: Video Game RF Rescue Generation. I honestly can’t tell the two apart, like Dylan McDermot & Delmort Mulroney. Best MicroComputer Podcast OpenApple Floppy Days Retrocomputing Roundtable ANTIC(the Atari 8-bit one) Winner: Retrocomputing Roundtable But really, all of them are good. 2013 Podcast of the Year The Intellivisonaries Atari 2600 Game by Game Retro Game Squad Coast 2 Coast Pinball and the Winner.... 2600 Game By Game Podcast Ferg’s podcast embraces the core values of what the community wanted: Focused retro gaming discussion and nothing else. This one is straight and to the point. No kickstarter, excessive off-topic banter, youtube, or developer interviews. And here's a picture of Ferg and his award! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
