Shawn Elliot's podcasts have always been...enlightening (from the CGW/GFW days). So I look forward to hearing this one.

It's been a while since I have heard Shawn on a podcast. It makes me all hot inside.

Great production values and some really awesome insight, plus it's the perfect length. Great podcast -- looking forward to the next one.

The thought/creative process obviously took inspiration from some interesting sources. Who knows what other weird things inspired the most normal aspects of the games. I wonder if they even know for sure.

Any idea how often these podcasts are gonna be released? I loved this first episode, especially with the "A Life Well Wasted" format/editing. But my guess is not too often because of the amount of work and time needed to create them. I'd also love a free-form discussion format though like Shawn Elliott's other podcasts (i.e. GFW Radio and Out of the Game).

The opening sounded a lot like A Life Well Wasted.

I've listened to this podcast at least 5 times now, and the exchange

"Shawn Robertson, what does the baby changing table in the Superdome smell like?"
"Dog in a wheelchair."

makes me laugh every time.

I the style that they chose to present it in, much different from the Full Moon Show and the Bungie podcast yet you still get just as much interesting information across.

A Very interesting listen. Thanks for posting it!
I value things like this as they help me form an overall picture of what is required in the industry and what to expect.
Hope to see more in the future and I'm looking forwards to hearing about your future project.

The iTunes Link isn\'t working for me, and I can\'t find it on the store.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. I can't wait to listen!

    Hey this was a great podcast, although it would be nice if I could download it from somewhere other than iTunes..

    Really good job. Unique perspective to hear this kind of show from inside a developer. Learned a lot, and laughed, so this is obviously doing something right.

    I do agree with others saying free-form talk is valuable, but I'm fine with its exclusion (lord knows we have enough 'free-form' talk in the gaming podcast section anyway) for now.

    Really enjoyed the show. Developer podcasts are very entertaining to listen to. Especially when they share stories like the ones shared on this podcast. It was very fun to listen to.
