I started listening to back episodes of a new podcast, Battleship Pretension, thanks to a recent /Filmcast episode, on which the two guys from the BP podcast were guests. The two hosts, Tyler and David, sit down for an hour a week and discuss some random topic related to film or television. Examples: films of Spielberg, bad films by good directors, films about America, time travel films, et cetera. It’s really funny and entertaining. You should listen to it.

Robert Ashley, former regular on GFW Radio has a new podcast: A Life Well Wasted.

The first episode, “The Death of EGM,” includes snippets of memories from long-time editors about the magazine.

The show has a great mix of content; interviews, Robert himself talking, music… just awesome. There’s even some Seanbaby. The throwback to the “dicks in Phil Collins’ mouth” ranking scheme.

I hope he continues to expand and do more with the medium than the typical “games that just came out => random games topic => emails from listeners” show structure.

If you’re addicted to listening to podcasts, like myself, and also loved the former GFW Radio on 1Up, you might want to grab the GFW Collection via bittorrent. Following the 1Up buyout a couple weeks ago, you never know when these things’ll be pulled from the website, so let’s distribute them now via the wonderful, democratic technology that is the torrent.
