This show has that special something...
I've been listening to / hosting gaming podcasts since 2005. Back then, even the least of the gaming podcasts had a special quality: The hosts were excited about what they were producing. They were willing to be creative, try new things every week, keep the show fresh and interesting for the audience. In recent years, no gaming podcast has had this quality-- most gaming podcasters nowadays subscribe to the belief that as long as the hosts are having a good time, the audience will love it, even though "having a good time" usually means continuous off-topic rants and in-jokes. 8-4 Play does not take this approach. The crew of 8-4 Play seems genuinely enthusiastic-- not just about recording a show, but about recording a video game podcast. Their excitement about the industry, and its output, is contagious; and that's something I haven't heard from a video game podcast in several years. Of the video game podcasts that are available today, 8-4 Play is the only one that I would wholeheartedly recommend.Read full review »

Host Mark MacDonald (of former EGM and 1UP fame) and his co-hosts do a great job of giving unprecedented insights into Japanese gaming culture. Even if you have a slight interest in Japan and the games released there, this one is a no-brainer.

The best. My only complaint now is I want more :)
