What do you primarily look for in a gaming podcast?

I voted other as I want news and opinions but with added humor and banter!

What he said ^^

Who cares, for me.

It's like video reviews of games where the reviewer seems to think we'd rather see footage of them reading from a script than we would watch footage of the game they are reviewing.

Podcast/shmodcast. I'd rather just play games.

If you get the opportunity try listening to a Joypod episode. You might find it informative as it can be and does give you opinions on a wide range of games. The one thing you will do though is giggle to yourself. If you don't, you're probably dead inside! ;)

Hey, I care. I enjoy a good podcast, sometimes over some of the crap that passes as tv these days.

I look for deep discussion of the industry topics and news. Doses of humor, swearing and banter are cool, to ease things. I enjoy Joypod, but still also listen to the insanity of GiantBombcast or CAGcast, or the long, deep thinking vibe of InGame Chat or Weekend Confirmed.

I see Spong is moving into video stuff of late. Interesting, but not sure about it, as there are plenty of games sites that do that, I think Spong should focus on the podcasts instead, as they are cheaper, easier to produce and can be as long as you want. I love a good 2-3 hour show at times.

I'd like to see Spong still continue with Spongcast, next to JoyPod. Besides, I feel Spong can learn a fair bit from Joypod and others podcasts. The net doesn't need another IGN, but more unique, fan based and individual is a better way to go. If you want other suggestion for Spong, Tim I'll add a list next time.
