Podcast Reviews: Edgy Reviews from That Podcast Show 41: What Would Lloyd Say, RPG PC and Console Podcast, The Passion Podcast

****For more detail not included in the written reviews please listen to the show to find out much more.***


What Would Lloyd Say

Category: Comedy

Lloyd Garver, a frequent opinion and humor columnist, hosts this show about his feelings towards things he encounters in daily life. At least we assume that’s where the questions he asks himself come from. Topics are usually political but also include things like commercials, insurance, and even life-span. Each episode is short at five minutes or less, which leaves little time for extras like an intro, outro, or music. While the show did not come across as a comedy, Lloyd’s answers, which range from harsh to light-hearted, certainly made us think and brought a smile to our faces. We also wondered if Lloyd would be willing to take questions or topics from listeners and shares his thoughts on those as well.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Game Center: RPG PC and Console Podcast

Category: Hobbies

This teen/pre-teen-focused podcast is hosted by 14 year old Zorba and gang. We are impressed that such a young podcaster is so consistent despite his youth. Basically these guys keep up with the latest video and computer games coming to market. They play as many as they can and give their opinions. It is obvious that Zorba wants his show to be credible, but there are a number obstacles in his way. There is overwhelming background noise and co-hosts often come across as unprepared. Never-the-less, Zorba does keep the show moving along and the language clean. Other portions of the show’s production value also leave a lot to be desired. There does not appear to be any post-editing, which would help tremendously. Also, running sound through a PC card or investing in a cheap mixer would substantially increase audio production. We look forward to returning to RPG PC and Console Podcast at a later time and observing how the podcast has grown.

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

The Passion Podcast

Category: Religion and Spirituality

The Passion Podcast is a production of the Passion House ministry in Alpharetta, Ga. which focuses on college-aged students. In the Passion Podcast, host Louie Giglio updates listeners about the ministry. Listeners can expect to hear from Christian celebrities such as Beth Moore, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, and Matt Redman. Lately Giglio has taken the Passion ministry on a world tour to places like Africa, Indonesia, Europe, and South America. He uses the podcast as a way share his experiences with listeners and to encourage believers. Giglio also uses podcasting’s greatest strength: creating a community. As podcasters we could not help but listen in excitement as Louie spoke about podcasting within international cities, often times accompanied by a translator. Episodes are generally 45 minutes to an hour in length, but are not published consistently. Burst of episodes released are often followed by long voids of new content. Despite this fact, this is a very uplifting show and worth listening to.
