Old Time Podcasters, The Playstation Show, and the evolving Vita Voices.

Posted on by

Back in 2006 I started another podcast, The Playstation Show, which would be a short weekly podcast on the Sony Playstation Portable. It slowed down a bit in 2011, but never really went away. With the PS Vita on the way, I decided in January that it needed to be brought “up to the boil” for the year (and in the process helping me keep abreast of the portable gaming world – all the more important as it becomes an interesting battleground in the smartphone world).

The show got a little bit of a rethink, moving away from a news-bulletin style to something a bit more like an op-ed from an old style radio or news correspondent (in the style of  Alistair Cooke or Andy Rooney). It went down well with the audience, traffic started to rise… and then it got even more exciting.

I’m an old-time podcaster, and there is a bit of a bond between those early ‘casters, even if many have moved on to bigger and better things (or Eurovision). Jason Evangelho, née Insomnia Radio, is now behind Video Game Writers, and the site is building up into a great source of news and opinion. And he had a listen to the podcasts.

…a little bit of time passes…

I’m really happy to announce that as the PSP hands the baton to the PS Vita, and The Playstation Show gets renamed to Vita Voices, the podcast will now be a co-production between The Podcast Corner and Video Game Writers. It gives the podcast a lot more exposure and listeners, while VGW get more great and unique content as they grow. Which is a win all round in my book.

And the first of the new shows? It’s here…
