Racketboy Podcast #54 – The PAX East 2013 Roadshow

dsheinem — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:02:53 +0000

Dave and John ventured to PAX East in March and decided it might be a good idea to record their thoughts on what they saw at the show while driving away from the convention. Hear Dave almost crash, hear John marvel at a few inches of snow, and hear two tired gamers struggle to remember what they did over the past few days. If that’s not your thing, skip ahead to the 62-minute mark for our first PAX East 2013 interview with Sean at YachtClubGames, who told us all about the upcoming Shovel Knight!

For our 50^th Episode we thought it might be fun to show you a peek behind the curtain of the show by airing some things that (for good reason) never made it into an actual episode. In this episode you’ll hear the intro to an episode made exclusively for the first Racketboy meetup (in Texas in 2010), you’ll hear some of John’s co-host audition as well as parts of those from two other folks, and you’ll hear Dave’s thoughts on the first 50 episodes and the future of the show.
