Ridiculously good JRPG podcast

I’ve listened to a handful of episodes now and I can’t say enough good things about this podcast.

I love the general format and way in which Austin enthusiastically talks about and reminisces on each particular JRPG. Each episode starts off with an overview of the game (facts) and then transitions midway to Austin’s experiences with it (likes, dislikes, etc).

Perhaps it’s due to the fact that it’s just one host, but one thing I adore is that there is no time wasted here. Too often hosts/co-hosts will waste the first 10-15 minutes of an episode discussing their personal lives which often has nothing to do with the subject of the episode. Not here! Austin gets straight to the point and doesn’t deviate. My only complaint/suggestion is to make the episodes a little longer (30-45 minutes would be fantastic). Here’s to hoping there’s many more!

Makes me keep wanting to buy games!

Austin does such a great job talking about JRPGS that I’ve mostly never even heard of before and explaining them so well. Since listening to his show I have purchased some of the games and put so many more on my wish list— just because of this podcast. He has a great voice for podcasting, he is very thorough in his discussion of each game, and the games he chooses to talk about are fantastic. Definitely worth a listen if you haven’t yet.
