Ha, funny you say that, I'm working on a videogame history podcast too right at the moment! I'll need to check this out, if nothing else just so I can find out the context behind "Up against the wall, motherfucker."

Oh speaking of, my podcast, Fallin' Thru Plotholes! Normally we talk about various videogame plotlines and how they evolved over time and got crazy, but we did something a bit different and had an episode on general video game history. It's part of a bunch of episodes that I'll have on backlog in case something happens, and I would really appreciate getting feedback on what works, what doesn't and the like. I'm pretty proud of it, and it's going to be the latest episode (Universal vs. Nintendo.)

Alan Smithee posted:kind of tangential to the topic, how are most people promoting their new podcasts? I had the vague idea of trying one out (as most ideas men go) but no idea the first thing about putting it out there For myself, it's been a lot of yelling about it on social media, and mentioning it on my (admittedly small) Twitch stream. That being said, my biggest boost was actually paying for advertisements on podcast hosting sites, such as Overcast. I'm not entirely sure it was worth it (it was like, $400 for a month) but it did boost me from 8 listeners to about 25 consistent listeners per episode, so it did work to some extent. Helpful if you feel awkward about consistently promoting your podcast yourself like I was.
