Podcasts, god, so many of them are either terminally dull, gratuitously studenty or just manage to completely miss the mark completely don’t they? Thats the problem with these new fangled idea’s, everyone wants a shot at one and really, not everyone should be allowed near a computer - nevermind a microphone to record their views and air them to the internets public at large.

So, its nice to be sent a link to one that isn’t a waste of my time, effort and energy listening to and covers a subject I give a shit about and covers it well, and for bonus points, manages to get a loud “mmmnnnnnnnng” into the podcast (which had the unfortunate effect of making me laugh far too hard at an early hour of the morning yesterday and near coating my chair in an interesting shade of yellow.)

Arsecast - Not Arse

The podcast in question is the excellently titled Arsecast (which gives my own HallOfTwats a run for the money in the domain stakes) and features previews of some upcoming Indie games, reviews of a few games already out there (some of which you’ll have seen covered here previously) and aside from the anonymous (its not me, so don’t point the finger in my direction) caster being described by one person as “sounds like some second rate BBC local radio programme for the one-foot-in-the-grave crowd” is a most welcome and enjoyable addition to anyones listening schedule.

At around the 20 minute mark, its just the right length for listening to whilst doing the ironing.

Not that I know what an iron is, its just a rumoured mystical item as far as I’m concerned.

But if you do have an iron, then Arsecast is perfect for listening to whilst using it. Or so I hear. Just go and listen to it!
