I realized recently that I listen lot of Podcasts, so much so that I think I've become either an expert or an addict. To that end I decided to shed a little light on some of the shows that have been occupying so much of my time.
Out of the Game
OttG is a podcast featuring ex-game journalists (enthusiast press or whatever) Jeff Green, former Editor in Chief at Computer Gaming world, who has moved onto development at EA; Luke Smith, formally of 1up, now employed by Bungie; N'Gai Croal, once mainstream media's most prolific gaming voice, now a freelance game design consultant, Robert Ashley freelancer, musician, and creator of the fantastic internet radio show, A Life Well Wasted; and hosted by Shawn Elliot, who now hangs his hat alongside Ken Levine at 2K Boston. For those who have been following the gaming media, this is something of a dream team. With the exception of N'Gai, every one of these guys is a legend in gaming podcast circles.
On would think that getting a group like this together would lead to some sort of mega-gaming podcast, but the kicker of OttG is that they rarely discuss games at all. Instead this show's topics range spans books, movies, the internet, family, and even the occasional game, everything is open to discussion here.
Out of the Game serves to remind listeners that personalities can be far more important then topics.
