Giant Bomb - great coverage, funny, not problematic. wide range of content, amazing chemistry, two awesome podcasts plus game mess mornings

Jeff Grubb - he brought me over to GB. the man. watch him and GB cover SGF and you’ll get it. man is talented and so charismatic. hes also got a couple more pods on his personal channel with known menace Mitch Minotti

∆honestly cant sing praise for these two enough

Noclip - AMAZING docs, great pod with passionate hosts.

Minnmax - just turned onto them recently after GB had some of them on the couch at SGF. good takes, nice people.

used to be really into spawncast and it’s member’s channels. not as much recently. spawnwave is still great but some of the group is overly negative which can be very grating over time. they do have good chemistry, still catch the pod sometimes. - that being said, spawnwave’s 20 min morning news digests aren’t a bad watch while you’re waking up and getting caffenated in the morning

Nate the Hate & MVG - part of the spawncast but they also do their own pod. Mature discussion of news and industry topics. MVG has a long history in the modding scene and is an active dev. Nate is some sort of insider, he protects his identity but i would imagine he’s in the industry. despite the name, he’s not overly negative.

~~there are def a few more but these are the ones that came to mind immediately. might add more as they come to me ~similar kinda thing but about content more geared towards entertainment i.e. dunkey, thorhighheels might be fun to do in the future

    Remap Radio is basically the only podcast I listen to now

    Still looking for good written coverage, though

    FPS: Friends Per Second and the SkillUp channel in general. I also keep up to date with AngryJoeShow and his reviews/news videos.

      I’d agree - SkillUp’s channel (including FPS), and Digital Foundry’s DF Weekly covers pretty much all my gaming needs with their content.

    I enjoy listening to these podcasts more for their entertainment value than just trying to get the best information.

    Podquisition - The hosts are very entertaining as they go over the games they’ve played as well as news in the industry. Laura also does a great job at reporting news leaks.

    What’s Good Games - Industry veterans who run a little too high energy go over gaming news as well as games they’ve played and often get hands-on impressions for upcoming titles.

    The Inverted Castle - Fun retrospectives on Metroidvania games of old.

    Square Roots - A Let’s Play on classic RPGs that goes into great detail on each game across multiple episodes featuring the hosts thoughts and opinions on the games as they play through each section together.

    It was gameranx and gaming historian but maybe nothing soon with the way YouTube is trying to kill off 3rd party clients

    I honestly don’t watch or listen to stuff about gaming. I just read my RSS feeds about upcoming games and pirate them and if I like them, I buy.

    Jesse Cox has 5 Minute Gaming News that lists news into little bite-sized chunks that I can handle every weekday. Used to love Jesse on the Cooptional and Cox n Crendor podcasts so I like listening to him.

    Also every Friday Crendor is featured on the Cren Minute where he talks about whatever he wants and its the most redundant and hilarious thing to me.

    And shoutouts to Lyle Wrath’s hilarious Pregame Discharge show where he lays out the news in an extreme and absurd way. Used to be weekly but now kind of forced to be monthly after Destructoid dropped it.
