OXM Podcast

I listened to a podcast by a magazine I used to get. XBox Magazine has a weekly podcast where they basically talk about whats going on in the video game industry, especially what is going on with the XBOX 360 and its games. Each podcast is done in the basic radio format, however they usually last in upwards of an hour. In the most recent edition that I listened to, the host was quizing a panel of video game writers on several video game industry trivia.
The host is very good at keeping the podcast moving and keeping it somewhat interesting. I think that this podcast is not as interesting as other editions that OXM has done because it was only geared toward older gamers that remember old game trivia. You really had to be a hardcore gamer to be able to listen to the entire podcast. I like hearing about upcoming games, but having to listen to these guys talk about old game trivia. The technical aspects were done well. They really didn't add a lot of extra sound affects, but usually in the OXM podcast, they don't need a lot of background music.
