Press Start

Press Start is going on hold for a while to reevaluate the show’s format and content.  If you have any question or comment, or you just want to suggest a direction for a show like this, don’t hesitate to send us an email at the usual address - pressstartkcpr@  gmail dot com.

Part B of the aforementioned Orange Lounge Radio podcast came out a few days ago.  If you enjoyed the first, I leave the rest to you.

Dave here.  This is a small update to say that the folks over at Orange Lounge Radio kindly had me as a guest on this week’s show, episode 219.  Their show is one of the more established videogame shows, and was one of the original shows that really got me into podcasting.  OLR podcasts are divided into two parts because of their length.  Part A is available now and part B should be released by Thursday.

If you enjoy Press Start I think you will also enjoy this show.  If nothing else, this episode has a voice you’ll recognize.

In the last update I posted a vague comment about new projects I was working on, projects that would seem familiar to those of you who listen to Press Start. Well today I finally got the ball rolling on the major one: the official GamesAreFun podcast.

I was put in charge of relaunching the site’s podcast, as it had been in a state of hibernation for almost a year. I can only assume my previous broadcasting experience with Press Start helped our Editor in Chief to make that decision. In any case, I’m quite excited about the opportunity to make the podcast flourish (if I can manage it) as this is my first opportunity in the professional sphere with something like this.

So if you want a double dose of me in any given week, you can add the GAF podcast to your playlist. It’s run in a roundtable discussion format, which is a slightly different flavor than Press Start. Enjoy.

The final 10 weeks of the show on KCPR begin Wednesday, April 11 at 10am. Just wanted to take this opporunity to give a preliminary thanks to all the fans and listeners we’ve had since the show began back in February 2005. The future of the show at this point is uncertain, but I’m working on some even bigger and better projects regarding podcasts and radio that should have more access while retaining parts of the flavor you know and love about Press Start. Those announcements will come in due time, of course.

However, in the meantime, we still have 10 more opportunities to cause some mayhem, so I hope you tune in. I’m not done with Dave yet. As always, you can listen to Press Start online by download at this site or at the other usual location.
