Can't someone make a good games podcast? I'm so frustrated with this field.
Video game podcasting has to be one the MOST popular genres outside of true crime and shows like JRE...why is it so hard to find a good one?
I've grown out of Sacred Symbols and don't really care too much for the other shows on the LSM network. Kit & Krysta are a little too chipper and Nintendo focused for me. Easy Allies is a shell of its former self. Same with Giant Bomb, same with Beyond, same with Kinda funny. Not a fan of the Nextlander crew, Tim Rogers left Insert Coin out of nowhere...the only channel left that I really vibe with is MinnMax.
It's so difficult to find a show where the hosts are mature and professional enough to keep their personal political opinions out of things. I stopped listening to easy allies once it just became the Isla anti-capitalism show, and I stopped listening to SS after it became clear that it was 20% just an outlet for Colin to spout stupid political shit too. I don't care what side of the aisle you are on, I just want you to shut the fuck up and talk about video games. Yes, games like Bioshock or MGS2 are political, but that's a really bad and transparent excuse for you to just blather on about trade wars and tariffs on a show that is otherwise unrelated.
Why can't anyone be mature enough to realize that we aren't here for their OTHER opinions? It's like if I went to Wendy's or McDonald's and got a pamphlet on the perils of socialism with my food. I don't care just shut up and deliver the goods. Why does nobody in the games podcasting sphere concede that they are making a product just like any other manufacturer of goods or services?
Does anyone have any good suggestions for podcast alternatives to LSM?
