Can anyone recommend a GOOD gaming podcast?


Gamer Life General Discussion

Hey all! I love gaming podcasts, but I'm very picky when it comes to what I listen to. I can't stand the poor quality or joky ones and those full of swearing and very little quality content.
I already listen and subscribe to:
All Games Considered
Atomic Array
d6 Generation
Dragon's Landing
The Tome and
3.5 Private Sanctuary
I'd prefer no 4e podcasts and more general gaming podcasts, but any recommendations will be listened to at least once.
Thanks!!

Other than the ones above I also listen to:

- Role Playing Public Radio (a little bit of swearing, but not full of swearing)

- The Gamesmasters show (especially their General shows, I am not a big fan of live play).

The other that was good is Sons of Kyros, but they haven't put anything out for a while and last I heard were going to change to a vodcast, which is no good for me as I do my listening on the train to and from work (an hour each way), but their back catalogue is worth a listen.


So far, I've only been particularly impressed by Atomic Array.

I used to listen to Sons of Kryos, but like you, I don't want a vodcast. I'll check out the other you recommended.

Fear the Boot is very good.

BearSwarm is terrible, but still entertaining; mostly because it is a 'cast by gamers for gamers.

I listened to Bearswarm for about 3 minutes and deleted it. Horrible. I've tried Fear The Boot and it's ok, though not up to Atomic Array quality or Tome quality. The Tome has been 4e heavy of late and may be dropped by me.
Still looking for something good.

The Gamer's Haven podcast is also pretty good. Though no Atomic Array. They do cover a lot of genres in some pretty good depth though.

I had to just stop listening to 3.5 Private Sanctuary unfortunately. Every now and then one of the hosts would just state some absurd, idiotic factoid as truth and make me start shouting obscenities at the car radio. (Forgotten Realms was the original setting for D&D, I am way too creative to actually read LotR, etc, etc, etc) Shame really, because I was on board with the mission. My blood pressure just couldn't take it anymore...

I kind of enjoy the podcast, but I noticed a few of those as well, such as the complaint about the Player's Handbook II's retraining rules being broken because you can keep retraining spells every few days (except that you can only do it when you gain a level, and you can only retrain one thing per level). There were a few more like that I can't remember off hand. I liked some of the overall discussion, I just was a little put off when they would make mistakes like this after claiming to "do research" by reading a given source.


That's too bad. I would have liked a podcost with the same mission.

3.5 Private Sanctuary has been hit or miss lately and I know what you mean about wanting to shout at them, but I want to shout because of the sound quality. One episode had this tock sound in the background whenever one of the hosts would speak. Very annoying.

I'll give Gamer's Haven a try and report my opinion of them later.
