This podcast owns!!! Though I only came in on ep. 36, it's my favorite thing to listen to every week. Man, it's going to take a long time to listen to all of them from ep. 1!!
I really do love this podcast, it really helps shorten my commute. All of you are hysterical and you are the most unbiased gaming podcast I listen to........but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please skip the 20 minute game music discussions that have plagued the last two or three podcasts. I drive while listening and it threatens to put me to sleep. If I die no big deal, but think of the other innocent commuters I could take with me as I fall asleep at the wheel of my speeding minivan.
Anyone else having trouble downloading the last 2 episodes? My download gets yo about 70% then the connection drops to 0. I've tried to get it through the TR site, iTunes store and using various methods for downloading - all to no avail!
I haven't had any problems with downloading media from other sites, so I was wondering if somethings changed with the the Talkradar files?
yeah... like Chris said in podcast 49... probably should change the title of Compendinarium...
Is it a funny name? Yes. It is too obscure and hard to find? Yes.
I think the King of Norway should rename the compendinarium...
This is because I don't have iTunes:
I listen to two podcasts regularly (gaming related or no) and they're TalkRadar and Gametrailers' Invisible Walls. TalkRadar is miiiiiiiles better, funnier, more interesting and actually more insightful.
While I'm utterly bored of Invisible Walls, which offers the same dry and boring half an hour that I choose not to get from Kotaku or anywhere else; I've certainly no plans to give up on TalkRadar.
And have listened to some of the podcasts more than once.
The length of the podcasts did bother me a while back, but I've grown to appreciate it now.
Though I would add that this would be completely fixed if they added in the times of the segments on the podcast page. So new listeners or whoever doesn't have time to listen to the whole thing start to finish can skip to the parts that interest them. It would make it far more accessible.
Like "New releases - 0:42:36" or whatever.
And despite GamesRadar's focus on informal features, it still came off as fairly corporate back when I started reading. Listening to TalkRadar put a face to the team and writers. Which I think really helps the fans and community.
I mean I actually joined this site due to the podcast.
So, as long as I don't ever have to hear "take you for a ride" ever again ever, I'll keep listening. ;D
I like long ass podcasts!
I listen to them at work, in my tiny cubicle.
Please keep the podcasts as close to 8 hours as you can, so I don't have to pay attention at my boring ass job.
Nothing helps with the long hours of tedious manual labor, more than the miraculous gift from the gods that is talkradar. When you staring at rotating blades contemplating leaping in head first to end the soul crushing exsistance that is your life, there's no better medicine than a random bit of hilarity such as "the norweigan king of name-changes".
