iPhone gaming podcast: Episode 29

We have taken the formula for our much loved podcast and stuck it in a cement mixer this week, along with several iPhones, a few dead canaries and a sackful of powdered awesome.

The resulting paste has been formed into a giant statue of a thumb, and then smashed to pieces with hammers. The remaining rubble was then carted off, thoroughly sorted and finally reassembled into our new, half hour blue print.

It’s a process of trial and error, really.

The direct upshot of this for you lot is that our funnies and infos per minute ratio has effectively doubled, as we are now covering just as much as we did previously, but in half the time.

And don’t go thinking that our new format means we can’t tackle the weightier issues. Between chat about Plants vs Zombies, Worms, and which celebrity voice we’d most like to have, we also have a short debate about what kind of author Marcel Proust was. Seriously.

If this sounds like the sort of thing you want to listen to in order to better understand the iPhone as a gaming platform (which we talk about sometimes) then you have various options.

The first and most obvious is that you can subscribe via iTunes, where, if you are feeling especially kind, you can also leave a nice five star rating and a geyser of praise in the comments section there.

If you’d rather not clutter you hard drive with downloads, however, you can simply double-click the latest episode in iTunes to listen to a streaming version. You can also listen to a streaming version online via your browser on this link, which is supplied via our feed. You can also subscribe to that via your RSS reader of choice.

If you want to chat about the podcast, our forum is the place to do it and if anyone has the answer to this week’s musical competition (for which there is a £5 iTunes voucher at stake), simply write to me with the correct answer at [email protected].

That’s it for now. For more of the same next week, just click ‘Track It!’.
