S/D: Gaming podcasts mostly blow goats. Which ones do not?

Vinny said that it wasn't a six-month thing.

Jeff's wife is pregnant so I think staying on healthcare is a major reason he's staying, plus protecting the jobs of those who are still there.

ahh ok. still looks like a 'clash with new ownership' thing though when they all leave at once but i could also imagine it being a fatigue thing with those particular 3, they've been doing this for a long time

xp w/Polygon, I notice a bunch of them get promoted up to the bigger in-network sites like Verge

I listen to Kotaku Splitscreen and Triple Click, they're not bad though I wouldn't necessarily go to the mat for them.

That was the case with Allegra, but I don't know anyone else? Karen Han left for Slate, Ashley Oh was just let go, Brian David Gilbert left to focus on personal projects. Polygon-adjacent Merrit K has vagueposted a bit on twitter abt the working environment not being great. Still gonna keep checking in as long as Pat and Simone are there.

You're probably right. I didn't realize how many had left (damn, even BDG!? I'm not even 100% a fan but still shocked)

Triple Click has been pretty good, not least because Jason Schreier (likely the only investigative journalist in gaming) is a regular.

Most recent Splitscreen gets pretty intense and emotionally raw.

What's the podcast version of photogenic? Because the hosts of Nextlander are not that. I don't always agree with Triple Click's opinions, but its hosts are much easier to listen to (even Jason Schreier!).

Are there any others out there as...fun...as Insert Credit?

i started writing a response here but forgot to finish it lol.

the only one i listen to other than insert credit is no cartridge, which is pretty great even though i don't play most of what they talk about. also they do a bunch of anime episodes which are good when i cherry-pick the ones i am most interested in.

I'm really enjoying the MinnMax Show (sic, because they're a bunch of Minnesotans/ Game Informer alums). They're mostly not capital-C Critics (except when Jacob Geller shows up) but they make up for it in wholesome amiabilty, and an extra bonus is that their rotating hosts features women nearly every week.

I believe an ILX regular is part of the MinnMax crew.

I enjoy the Duckfeed.tv podcasts - Watch Out For Fireballs, Bonfireside Chat etc, and soon they're going to be doing a Baldur's Gate 3 podcast called Real Lich Hours

I know who you mean and have kept an ear out but haven't heard him on the pod yet! Maybe he's on one of the shows they do because they have a YouTube channel too that I haven't dipped into yet.

I'm not sure he's who shall not be named has ever been on the main MM show.

I'm a Patreon backer of the show fwiw

Are there any podcasts about blowing goats?

Something Rotten is covering MGS 1 and 2, first episode features Super BunnyHop, though I keep forgetting that they're doing that and haven't listened to any episodes yet.
