I listen to a lot of game podcasts and despite the unique personalities and points of view you get over a wide swath of shows about games, eventually they all tend to run together. Game journos on podcasts like the Giant Bombcast and 1Up's Games Dammit will discuss the games they're playing, but they most often end up all talking about the same games. Everyone has to play their AAA titles and talk about them, because that's just what's popular. Occasionally they'll spend a little bit talking about an indie game if it's big enough like Braid or Super Meatboy, but for me it just wasn't enough.
That's why Stevie Grant and I started Indiedrome, the indie video game podcast on Press Pause Radio. Each week we'll talk about the indie games we've been playing and interview the guys who make them. This episode is our pilot, so it's a bit shakey, but pretty much gets the idea across. We love indie games and love to talk about them. Hopefully you guys will too. Let us know what you think, some games you'd like us to talk about, and people you'd like us to interview.
Check back next week for an interview with the creator of They Bleed Pixels Miguel Sternberg and the game's music composer Shaun Hatton.
And don't forget to save your game.
