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

Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
There are a lot of other established great podcasts in this space. Why should people listen to yours and what makes yours unique?
