Pie Factory Podcast

As someone who grew up when gamecubes and wiis were the norm and was a bit older when arcades became more mainstream this is a great podcast for beginners. And yes Jimmy G is more dorky in real life than he is in the podcast.

This is a rare podcast which has found right mix game information and colorful stories about how the hosts are connected to the games. This is one of those casts where sum is more then it parts!

This podcast provides just enough info and entertainment of classic arcade games. Not too geeky and not too surface level. The hosts also have a great rapport with one another. They finish each other’s sentences, make fun of one another and have some inside jokes but even those are accessible to any loyal listeners. Each show discusses ins and outs of 2 classic games which usually have some obscure connection to each other. I have a full arcade cabinet and MAME of every single arcade game so I enjoy playing the games they discuss in each episode while I listen for helpful walkthrough, tips and observations.

A very fun podcast to listen to. Some complain that they are not too technical or that they do not have too much experience with the games, but they make up for that with their passion for the games and how it feels to play them. When you listen to them review the games, it almost feels like you are hanging out with some good friends just chatting about memories old and new. A must listen for those who just mainly want to remember the games for what they are, fun games.
