The Arrow Pointing Down Podcast
By Jay Alan | February 20, 2008
I’m a big fan of Podcasting, I think it’s an exciting, innovative and inexpensive way for voices to be heard, that’s probably why I host one myself (with a lack of recent episodes lately, but we are recording episode 9 tonight, with a special mystery guest star and I promise to get more weekly with the Project Silence Podcast).
I am not, however, a fan of Video Game Podcasts. Most are poor quality with non-charismatic hosts, or far too long (no podcast should be 2 and a half hours, ever, I’m looking at you 1Up). That being said, I was a big fan of the The Hot Spot, before Gamespot went and lost what little journalistic integrity they had by firing Jeff Gerstmann.
Well, now the man himself is back, with The Arrow Pointing Down Podcast and, let me tell you, it’s good to have him back. While the first episode is plagued by bad audio quality, Mr Gerstmann and long time cohort Ryan Davis save video game Podcasting with witty humor and great chemistry. It’s well worth a listen and I’m sure the quality will only improve.
Why am I plugging another Podcast, you may ask? Well, it’s good. It’s the kind of thing I strive for every week in my own show and having guys like these two only make me want to make the Project Silence Podcast better, and isn’t that what it’s all about?
