Which gaming podcasts do you listen to?

I listen to 1up yours and Major Nelson. They're both a bit clueless sometimes, but usually have plenty of good information and are interesting to listen to... I tried the IGN one and it was absolutely hopeless. Anyone got any other recommendations?

Listen to 1up Yours when they're going to get snarky about something, Major Nelson when there's something interesting on it, otherwise I don't bother. Have recently downloaded a few episodes of Unscripted 360, which is more 360 community- based than others.

I'm a hardcore gamer so I don't need to listen to blowhards waffle on about shit they don't really know a lot about anyway.

And yes, I realise the hypocrisy.

i've tried mr nelson, but can't stand the cheesy middle aged american marketing manager who does it
oh and it's a BLOGCAST according to them, please, apple what?

what other podcasts do people listen to? radio national's experimental radio show "in the night air" is pretty good, so is their background briefing show. dr karl can be good at times, and so starstuff. the bbc's in our time is pretty good if you're in the mood too - a show about "the ideas that shaped our world".

and other good ones?

I've only ever heard Major Nelson say "podcast".

Read this selfish, not sure if this is what you're talking about

oh well nah he says podcast, but on his site it's a blogcast
sure it refers to ipods, but it's a part of the language now, live with it
and no you don't need an ipod

selfish, they call the iTunes version a podcast, and the blog version a blogcast.
