You all were asking for it, so we hooked up with EA Sargonas and threw a 360voice podcast together. Give it a listen and let us know what you think! Maybe we will do more. It was out first attempt... so there is some funkiness and all around inexperience going on... but hey... we are podcast n00bs :) A special thanks to Sargonas for stepping up to record, edit, and do all the hard work.

Yey!
Good show guys..
I'll be sure to check in every time.
But remember to do some interviews with people ;)

i ended up staying up to listen instead of going to bed (i saw the post in my RSS feed right before bed)
great job guys, and editing / recording / sound etc is great for a first episode - good job Sargonas.
thanks for the nod to challenge scout - originally I thought about giving odds and all that as well! Still feeling out how to actually forcast a winner, throwing in betting odds, well that is another layer of unknown :)
Posted by: squidpunch | January 14, 2008 at 06:43 AM
@destruktive - how many interviews can we do! We just launched Member of the Moment! :)

Seems cool to get into podcasting. I'll download this sometime soon and listen to it on my PSP or maybe on my Xbox 360 whilst playing a game.

Excellent work guys. Looking forward to the next one.
Posted by: Bk Dragon | January 14, 2008 at 07:56 PM
@thorpe - i wouldn't say it is "cool"... but it is a good way to connect with your audience and give them lots of information in a short amount of time.
Posted by: Trapper Markelz | January 14, 2008 at 08:12 PM
Awesome podcast! And thank you for the mention!!! :D
Hope you guys are able to keep these up! Maybe a monthly thing? Weekly would be good, but monthly would keep things fresh and you can cover pretty much everything that happened at 360voice that month, like a monthly recap podcast style ;)
You guys were great and sounded great on my new Zune :)

Good job on the podcast guys. Keep them coming and I'll keep downloading. I tried looking for the podcast on itunes to make a review. But I could find it listed. Just to let you know.

Great show guys! Started off great...CSI! Funny Stuff. Don't worry because with each shot it gets easier and the shows get better!

Good 'cast.
It would be helpful for the first few of these if you tried to work each other's names in the conversation, at least until we are able to associate voices with names. I know you said them all up front, but I promptly forgot. :-( I have such a short attention sp...

I listened to the 360voice podcast. ;) gj on that. I liked the fact that you posted shownotes along with it so I could stay 'focused' on the topics. lol
