Hey Paizo people, have you thought about doing a monthly (or weekly) podcast? With all of the different projects being turned out each month, it would be great to have a half hour podcast talking about the new and future products.
I understand it takes a little time to put together, but as a podcast junkie I'd love it. Plus, its much easier for a lot of us who work to listen to a podcast instead of combing the boards and blogs all day.
We've been thinking about, talking about, and wanting to do an official podcast for a while. But until we get caught up after launching a new game and moving the offices north to a larger and more efficient space here in Redmond, the time is not right to launch something like this. We can't even keep our blog on a regular schedule right now, after all!
But eventually, yeah. We hope to have some sort of podcast.

How about a list of podcasts you guys have already been on, there are tons out there; I just wish it was easier to keep track of. Google pretty much gives old results from 2007. A sidebar somewhere would be swell.

Do you guys have any news on the podcast front?
I would like to add the idea of having an actual play podcast of the Pathfinder Role Playing Game similar to what WotC has done with their celebrity DnD sessions. I've talked to more people that have seen and/or listened to those sessions who are talking about getting back into the hobby.
I was similarly inspired and I've been away from the hobby for 20 years. The main reason that I haven't picked up DnD (like them) is that I used to always play non-DnD stuff back in the day (Palladium, GURPS, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu). The recent release of the PFRPG seemed like just the ticket and I'm really enjoying learning the rules.
I'd love to have a set of similar PFRPG podcasts to share so that I can inspire others to eventually join my game.
Production labor for creating a podcast is surely a stumbling block, but there's a lot of podcasting talent up in your area. Ever thought of having Moonstew Productions (Ed Healy and Rone Barton, the Atomic Array and RPG Countdown podcasters) giving you a hand?
Barring Paizo, I wonder if anyone in the Pathfinder fan base is working on a related podcast. There are some pretty good podcasts devoted to DnD specifically (The Tome Show, The Power Source, Critical Hits). It'd be nice to see something similar covering Paizo news, reviews, play, and interviews.
Just some more cents to throw in from another podcast junky.
No official Paizo Podcast news yet. Hopefully we'll get something up and running soon, but for now we're in "OMG GET THESE BOOKS READY FOR GEN CON" mode... and will be for a few more months...

I'd LOVE to have a Paizo podcast. But you should get some really really good guys to help you with it. Someone to help lighten the load of one more thing, and that would produce the highest quality product. Really really really really good guys.
What might be kind of cool is to do an actual play of some of the older OGL adventure paths.
You could include a session looking over the GMs shoulder as they update the modules for the PFRPG and include some notes as to what they might change or enhance to make it work better within the Pathfinder ruleset.
Then run some people through the game. I think WotC has hit on a good idea with the "celebrity" session format. As many of these celebs are new to RPGs or new to the specific rule sets that are being played, its a nice hook for those listeners that are new to RPGs themselves or new to the specific products that are being showcased.
There are a number of celebs that might be interested if you made some inquiries. It would be a coup to get the actors from Big Bang Theory or to play with the actors from "The Guild" or maybe people like Corey Doctorow.
Know Direction is a really good show, as is 3.5 Private Sanctuary (their 3.5 podcast).
I really enjoyed the Penny Arcade cast, but the Robot Chicken one is falling a bit shot for me. I just get the feeling that some of the guys there just don't really care, and it really ruins the mood. I still watch though, i get some really good ideas from the DM.

I just finished with the Penny Arcade podcasts. I agree about the cast. They were very entertaining.
