All Gen Gamers - A podcast with the slogan "For people and video games of all generations". I'll paraphrase and update their "about" paragraph:

Every week YouTubers Pete Dorr, Gamester81, Jason Heine and Metal Jesus Rocks talk about Retro and Modern video games including anything from systems such as the Turbo Grafx, Neo Geo, Genesis, SNES, NES, to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, DS, PSP, and so many more! We talk about some of the various conventions, arcades and midnight releases we've experienced, as well.

We pride ourselves as unbiased video game enthusiasts and collectors of the hobby. We occasionally bring on a new 5th guest host to keep the experience as fresh as possible for our listeners, no episode is bound to be the same!

A description plz?

It's hard to explain really. It's as if it's a radio broadcast being done in the fictional town where weird stuff is always happening. It's like a mixture of twilight zone, neil gaiman stuff, david lynch... other such weird and interesting things. It's pretty funny and clever with some great recurring characters that you get to hear about with bits of an interesting but subtle story going on. It can even be a bit creepy at times. The world feels very interesting and alive too, mostly thanks to the host of the radio show, Cecil Baldwin. He also just has a lovely voice.

Edit: I realized that I didn't link to the main website like I meant to which probably would have given a nice description. In any case, my link is where you can stream it, or you can get it on places like iTunes if it interests you.

kinda reminds me of the Orson Wells 'War of the Worlds' radio broadcast. Speaking of which, Radiolab did an episode about that event which you might really like.

http://www.radiolab.org/story/91622-war-of-the-worlds/

"In our very first live hour, we take a deep dive into one of the most controversial moments in broadcasting history: Orson Welles' 1938 radio play about Martians invading New Jersey. "The War of the Worlds" caused panic when it originally aired, and it's continued to fool people since--from Santiago, Chile to Buffalo, New York to a particularly disastrous evening in Quito, Ecuador."


And if its anything like the twilight zone(original of course) i think ill like it so thnx!

I listen to lots of sports podcasts because my timezone doesn't allow me to hear the radio shows live. My favourites are The Dan Lebetard Show, SVP and Russilo, and Mike and Mike. I also listen to Smodcast and Jay and Silent Bob get old.

Jay and silent bob get old? whats that? is it with kevin smith & that other guy b/c i would listen to that...

Hardcore History is the best podcast.

It was totally fashioned after old-time radio play broadcasts. I'm so happy you made that connection! I am certain you will like it. And Scotty, you forgot HP Lovecraft!

I listen to the podcasts for my Utah talk radio show that I dearly miss called Radio From Hell. A lot of news, a lot of local politics, and a lot of talk from three of my favorite people ever. There's some Utah-centric stuff that goes on in it because it's based in Utah, but I've managed to convert people into listening to it as their primary source of news who are not from Utah as they cover a lot of national and even international news. I've listened to them every day of my life for years.

I also listen to The Let's Go Eat Show. Put on by one of the hosts of the Radio From Hell Show, this show features interviews with local people of note within Utah Valley and Salt Lake County like small business owners, up-and-coming delicious restaurants, politicians, TV personalities, film critics, local artists, musicians, etc. Probably would not be of interest to anyone not from Utah or who didn't know who these people were. They go to local restaurants to eat and have good conversation.

Geek Show Podcast. Another podcast put on by one of the Radio From Hell hosts. The title is pretty self-explanatory. Geek news, geek talk and discussion with seven - formerly eight - hilarious dudes. One of them died earlier this year and it really upset things for a while. The show hasn't been the same, really, because the person who died was my favorite, and my most trusted film critic source. But it's still a good show. They roadtripped to SDCC a couple of months ago and podcasted all of it and it was a total hit. A good bunch of guys who will make you laugh.

Hello, Sweetie! Podcast. I discovered this podcast because it's put on by the daughter of my most trusted tv critic source from Utah. Almost all of my podcasts come from Utah. These ladies are awesome, and are the perfect balance to the Geek Show Podcast guys. Geek talk and geek news from geek girls.

And of course, Welcome to Night Vale. "Welcome to Night Vale is a twice-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the small desert town of Night Vale, featuring local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff's Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events. Turn on your radio and hide." This is a progressive radio story, so I would encourage new listeners to start at the very beginning.

I also listen to the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast once in a while, which is also done in the progressive radio story format like Welcome to Night Vale. I first discovered them, in fact, during a live Welcome to Night Vale/TAH crossover performance. It was awesome. There are a ton of different segments/sketches to this show, including Sparks Nevada: Marshal on Mars, The Adventures of Captain Laserbeam, Down in Moonshine Holler, Beyond Belief, Jefferson Reid: Ace American, Desdemona Hughes: Diva Detective, Phillip Fathom: Deep Sea Detective, Amelia Earhart: Fearless Flyer, The Cross-Time Adventures of Colonel Tick-Tock, The Algonquin Four, and The Red Plains Rider. Sometimes they feature guest celebrities who perform in these radio sketches like Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk. The Fandom Guide to Thrilling Adventure Hour can fill you in more!

I have an hour and a half commute every day so I've learned to love talk radio. I have basically all but abandoned listening to music.

Nerd of Mouth and Fatman on Batman. I just love listening to people bulltrout about things that I bulltrout about.

I listen to The Thrilling Adventure Hour sometimes too. Paul F. Thompkins and John DiMaggio are my fav's on there.
