This is slightly late, as the show came out at the end of last week, but if anyone is interested in the life of a games developer they could do a lot worse than checking out the Full Moon podcast from Insomniac Games, who you would know better as the developers of Resistance: Fall of Man and the upcoming Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. As well as news on both of those titles, they’ve got an interview with Evan Wells of Naughty Dog studios about the upcoming Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, which is well worth a listen, as this really seems to be a title which is making people sit up and pay attention.
While doing the podcast thing, there’s a PS3 podcast around, brought to you by Joystiq–affiliates PS3 fanboy. They’ve only been going for a few episodes, so any downloads and feedback would be appreciated I’m sure.
Other general gaming podcasts you might want to have a look at are the CAGcast from cheapassgamer.com, who are currently experimenting with live shows with varying success, but it’s always worth a listen. Show host CheapyD has a voice which reminds me of a cartoon character, but I can’t place it exactly - it’s nearly like Top Cat but not quite. Answers on a postcard please…
For some furious debate you might want to have a listen to Unclegamer radio from Unclegamer.com. All of the above shows normally weigh in at over an hour and a half in length, so you may need to schedcule in some time to listen to them all.
Finally, but by no means least, you may want to pay a visit to http://www.red-rant.com/. Having already put together a special Three Speech podcast, we are currently in the process of creating another… Watch this space.
Any other UK games podcasts out there? Let us know..
It’s not in the UK, but don’t forget the Playstation Nation podcast at:

Hurrah for Red Rant! PS3Fanboy and CAGcast are also favourites of mine

My favourite UK games podcast is One Life Left. It’s actually a radio programme on Resonance FM that they later release on iTunes. Find it at http://www.onelifeleft.com

The best gaming podcasts are: “The Hotspot” by Gamespot.com, “1UpYours” by 1up.com, and “EGM Live” by Electronic Gaming Monthly.
Insomniac has nearly lost me as a fan for what they have done with these stupid maps. It’s ridiculous. Their podcast is decent, but every listen I get a little angrier knowing that they aren’t working on getting those maps to me. Instead they are recording a free podcast.

I pretty much listen to most of the podcasts posted here, but the best gaming podcast EVAR is called ‘All Games Interactive.’ look it up on itunes and read the reviews if you won’t take my word for it. You can also or check them out at allgames.com
One reason that it’s so great is that you can actually listen live and call in or join the chat room and participate and discuss on the show. It’s AWESOME, give it a try.

AGI is too frantic. I’ve tried to listen to it, but I just cringe too much when the fanboys call-in.
Comment by Glenn Percival — Jun 21, 2007 @ 5:16 pm
I’m listening to the CAGcast right now and just heard them mention that they were plugged here. Good job, it’s a great podcast! I also enjoy the majors like all of 1UP’s and GameSpot’s casts. Also, other good ones include trigames.net, GameOn, and Extra Life Radio.
I actually host my own podcast as well, check it out at http://www.gameslaves.net, you can find it in iTunes under GameSlaves Radio.
