Hey digitalpress, I'm tossing around the idea of starting my own retro gaming podcast that's mainly focused around the NES and Famicom but occasionally may venture off into Sega or dare I say it, modern gaming.
For those of you that have seen my blog and youtube channel, you already pretyt much know my kind of gaming tastes, but this is what I'm thinking as far as a podcast formula:
Create a weekly podcast composed of a few reoccurring segments:
1. An audio based game review - where I talk about a retro game and its history, much like I do on my blog, with music from that game playing softly in the background as I discuss the game in question. Mostly it will be me talking about something worth playing that perhaps you've missed out on. Don't expect me to talk about Halo or Call of Duty anytime soon.
2. Tech talk. Topics might include tutorials on how to preform various mods, or just my thoughts on certain devices or systems. Possible subjects may include Famiclones, controllers, adapters, etc etc.
3. Listener mail. answer tech questions or whatever else people write in and ask about.
4. Recent pick ups/finds or just other news related to my youtube channel, blog or something like that. Basically, whatever I'm up to int he realm of retro gaming as of the time of recording.
So all that said, what do you guys think? Would you listen to my podcast if I were to start one? Any segments you would like to see that I didn't mention in my overview structure? any advice from anyone who has their own podcast already?
Lastly, I'm going to need a name for the podcast. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys.
