The Games Cast is an audio podcast hosted by Phil Collins (@fatherfil), Duncan Simpson (@boidster) and Paul Sunter (@paulsunter). We put a more mature spin on the world of gaming and all the baggage that comes with it.

The Games Cast

The TGC podcast is the bread and butter of our audio output. To us it’s the reason we do it. Each month the tightly produced 90 minute long podcast has the same regular features such as Lud’Alan, the RoundTables as well as including three brilliant competitions. We’ve put together a full feature list below. If you ever fancy catching up with what we’ve produced so far then we’ve got a gorgeous little podcast archive for you to browse.

You can find out more about how we produce the podcast right over here.

Phil Collins

(twitter: @fatherfil; xbox live: fatherfil), aka Fil, is a gamer at heart. Being the proud owner of a ZX81 and a Spectrum 48k he started the long road to geekdom early on in childhood. Since then it’s been a long line of consoles and computers, through the Sega Mega Drive and the Sega Saturn, continuing on to the Wii and the 360. If found online, Fil will be trying to teach someone a lesson on Crackdown 2. Or is that him being taught a lesson. Who cares. He doesn’t.

Duncan Simpson

(twitter: @boidster; xbox live:boidster; psn: boidster), aka Boidster, has been gaming for over 20 years now, having started at the tender, impressionable age of 8 (you do the math) he’s never looked back. Well once or twice, but the rose-tints were thrown away a long time ago. Often heard quoting “everyone is a geek for something” to defend his own afliction, he wonders how his young son will cope with Daddy liking ‘joypads’. Liberty City has almost become a second home for Boidster, and although the biker look really doesn’t suit him, the pseudo-russsian accent is coming along nicely.

Paul Sunter

(twitter: @paulsunter; xbox live: looney; psn: unknown), aka Looney, is TGC’s very own goateed Metal-boy. He’s been a gamer for so long, Sir Clive Sinclair wanted to adopt him as his son. Joypads quake in fear when he enters the room, and for that matter so do the dented walls of his home. Although his Rock Band instruments still in one piece. We think! Give him a virtual car and racetrack and he’s a happy bunny. Until someone cuts him up then the mist decends. It’s dented wall time all over again!

TGC Radio

Every now and again we’ll hit the internet with our own style of radio show. Focusing on an informal approach we’ll chat about gaming and we’ll play some gaming inspired tunes as well gaming soundtracks. There’s the very special “Bargain Basement Bonanza” competition where we give away the cheapest pre-owned game available to man.

The audio stream for our radio show can be found here on the website. When we’re transmitting you should find the front-page has a massive link on it directing you to the stream. Or, you can click on this link here. You’ll need a program such as iTunes, Windows Media Player or Winamp installed on your PC/or Mac.
