Thanks to all of you kind strangers on Lemmy I pushed myself to finish my gaming podcast. It’s called Respec, and it’s about PlayStation games. I’d really appreciate it if you’d check it out, thank you! 😀

      I think more than anything it’s about finding a podcast you vibe with. I was recently looking for a basketball podcast and I listened to the first few mins of like 5-6 podcasts until I found one I liked. My reasons for starting a podcast of my own partly stem from my distrust of established games media, and feeling like they’re not talking about things I care about or notice in games - especially when it comes to game UI and how that affects the whole experience.

      There’s a few details I touch on in my review about FFXVI that I haven’t really heard elsewhere - not that I can consume all reviews/discussions but that kind of thing made me want to get my own thoughts out there.

      Also, making a podcast has been on my mind for a while now and I really wanted to see it through.

    A couple suggestions:

    1. I’m no audio wiz but audio quality leaves something to be desired. Particularly, there are a lot of sharp “s” and some smacking sounds that I think some better equipment could improve. Might be as simple as getting a pop filter?

    2. Is there a public RSS feed anywhere? I don’t use Spotify for podcasts.

      1. Yes, I’ll do a better job with sound quality going forward. My external pop filter is on the way (there was a pop filter in the mic), and I now understand how to use the sound mixing software a little better so next episode should sound better with less noise.

      2. According to Spotify’s documentation it sounds like sharing an RSS feed can lead to some irreversible outcomes like scraping, appearing on services without my knowledge etc, so let me figure this out first. Sorry about that.
