Customer Reviews
Fænomenal!
"A Life Well Wasted" er en ganske særlig oplevelse...
Freelanceren Robert Ashley har styr på både teknik og form, og debuten er fremragende!
Ashley producerer en podcast der lyder som rigtig professionel radio, og kunne ligeså godt stamme fra
NPR, eller vores egen DR.
Debut-afsnittets tema (et retrospekt over det hedengange EGM) er spændende, og man kan næsten være bekymret for om det lykkedes at holde den høje standard i kommende afsnit!
Som sagt er det en velproduceret podcast, mixet med musik fra Ashleys eget band "I Come To Shanghai", og den byder på et nyt og mere professionelt alternativ til den konventionelle "4 mand om en mikrofon" gaming-podcast.
Ashleys podcast har masser af potentiale, og dens form kan tackle mange emner - håber at han formår at holde sig selv til ilden!
