Thanks Man! Try not to be too harsh. This is our first time doing a podcast so we're kinda just feeling it out. And we're a bit nervous too.

This is pretty nice! Maybe in the future you can have guest speakers and the like too, I'm sure you have a lot of plans for this

First things first though, get another opening theme :P
Better recording equipment should also be high on your list (this can be expensive though)

Everything I'm sure will fall into place once you get more used to the whole podcasting thing

Good luck! You have a listener in me

I don't know about guests because we're kinda nobodies but if I can get some it will be posted on the website. I wish I could get better equipment but that would require money I don't have.:) I'm also looking at the whole iTunes thing.
The intro & outro music is the only thing we could use at the moment but we are looking for something better.

I'll give it a go, like listening to people talking about video-games

EDIT: Would be good if you could actually listen to it on the site without downloading it. It's not that hard checking out the first episode now!

chrisradsby

I really liked the second one, you guys got all into it and you could tell that you're more comfortable talking. Good stuff, bookmarked!

An advice: use e.g. podomatic.com - i don't want to have to first download the cast. Would like to hear it but don't want to download it on my working pc.

I created a streaming page so you should be able to listen to the cast at work without having to download the audio.

I'm going to give this a listen, as for guests you could always get some Skye interviews with polycount members lol. Im pretty sure there are a few people that wouldn't mind talking about work flow or issues on some of there projects. Actually would be kind of a cool segment. Just an Idea Keep up the good work !

Hey X Button listeners, in an effort to bring in more listeners and to get more in touch with our audience, I would like for you to tell me what kind of topics you would like us to discuss. Just make sure it's game design or industry related.
