Hey Infendo Radio fans: Thanks for all the love and hate mail asking for a new podcast.
Unfortunately, after podcasting uninterrupted for nearly five full years, Infendo Radio has been on hiatus for three months now. As a labor of love, it finally dropped off Derek and Blake’s priority list for good. And unlike last time, there’s no Kyle, Will, Sean, or Alex to take it on (nor David or Zac, did I miss anyone?).
That said, the team might revisit the podcast after the transition into new ownership early this year. But by all means, if someone knows how to record a catchy 30 minute podcast, edit it, and publish it on a weekly basis, let us know’perhaps you can pick up the baton in the interim.
We had a great run and hope to exhume it someday from the grave ’ at least in spirit. In the meantime, why don’t you enjoy the back catalog of more than 300 episodes? Then tell us what some of your favorite episodes were?
I'm definitely going to miss Infendo, especially after 300 great episodes and listening to Derek and Blake, who are both excellent podcasters, every week! However, if anyone else is willing to fill the podcast-less void on Infendo, then I am definitely in! I've always wanted to try podcasting!
Its a pity, really enjoyed by weekly dose of infendo radio 🙁
Why don't we have an Infendo fan radio, that'd be something. Maybe monthly/a little longer, that'd be a lot less stressful for anyone involved.
@bananaoomerang that'd be a great idea! I'm a little rough around the edges with hosting a podcast but I think I can manage to organize something if there were enough people on board with that idea.
I want Zac Erickson back. Why was he not mentioned on the list of former IR podcasters?
"And unlock last time, " 🙂
That said, recording a podcast isn't that hard–I used to run one on another site. The hardest part, in my opinion, is getting quality hardware to make a nice-sounding podcast–ours was always full of fuzz and such–not to mention a bit of vulgarity that I'm sure that the Infendo team doesn't particularly want.
That said, I have only listened to the Blake + Derek radio, and that's what I liked about it. Everything felt very intentional and clear, with some ideas that I probably would not have thought of. It is sad that the podcast is gone, but I'm glad that you finally made it official, there will probably be less whining in the comments.
Anyway, more in line with what the post asked, "Then tell us what some of your favorite episodes were?", I would say that my favorite episodes were the ones not about Nintendo specifically. In example, I loved the episode about the move from hardware input to software-decoded input (Ã la touch or motion). I guess I'm just not all that into Nintendo as a company anymore, but I am heavily interested in what they do.
I liked the ~100 episodes I was on 🙂 [Don't worry Zac, I think you and I got lumped in with the main hosts for our tenures.]
Seriously, though, 2011 was the Year The Podcast died. Everything in my podcast list (with NPR shows being exceptions) has unceremoniously wrapped up and disappeared. So, don't feel bad Infendo Radio fans, it's the medium that died and not the heartbeat below the surface.
Podcasters correctly attributed now
I'm up for this, how would we sign up?
Maybe Scott Johnson can come back and take over. Remember him? I'll miss the show, Blake. Thanks for the good run!
I'd be up for trying to at least be on a podcast. I don't have the time to edit, but I could maybe take a night out to talk video games. Boy I know I look up enough news, that's for sure. And I have a pretty good Mic
Thanks for the "official" word.
Man, I feel depressed.
Is there anything left in that bottle over there….?
After 3 months….the official word comes. Glacial. Pace.
I enjoyed the Podcast, so the least I can do is say "thanks!"
And, in memorandum: "…brought to you by NintendosForSale.com….relive the Fun!"
🙁 *sniff* so long, and thanks for all the privaleges… I guess…
Too bad! I was a huge fan and loved hearing those guys banter about stuff. If anyone is thinking of doing a fan podcast and needs a member i'm totally down!
Live Voice Chat Podcast
Someone should host a live podcast session and allow fans to join as the show progresses. Open it up and let people hop in and out within the hour or so that it's recording. It would be like a voice chat room of sorts. This way the fans can participate and talk about any topics of interest to them. Sure it might turn into an unregulated mess, but it'll be better than nothing, right?
sometimes nothing is better than an unregulated mess.
sorry for the double post, but I think the title of the new podcast should be "OOBAD" (Orphans of Blake and Derek).
We can talk about how Blake and Derek were like:
"Hey Kids, we're going to buy some milk, be right back…"
and then we all were like:
"OK parental-like podcasters!"
and then we waited…. and waited…. and waited…. and waited… and waited….
and then waited…. and waited… and waited…
hey this is good one less shitty podcast out there, they are such anti-nintendo bastards i hated listening to them which is why i havnt listened to them in a long time, they suck
Ah, man, I remember finding you guys on episode 25. Still keep in touch with Scott, by chance?
Well, regardless, I hope this does rise from the near-dead again. I keep comin' here for my daily game-blog fix.
Can we please just have one last webisode of Infendo Radio? Just one more? Like a farewell podcast? That'd be awesome! 😀
I'm quite sad to read that news.
I'm a huge fan of the podcast, one of the best on the net as far gaming goes.
I hope a podcast will be back this year.
Best of luck and thanks for the ride 🙂
I'd record a new episode with the old team, but sadly, I don't think Blake would have us back.
@Will – If Blake is retired… why would it matter if you'd podcast or not?
The best episodes were when Scott Johnson hosted it. I still listen to a bunch of his shows. I was really sad when he left.
RIP Infendo Radio
