A Life Well Wasted Episode Seven: Work

It has been almost three years since the last episode of A Life Well Wasted by Robert Ashley of GFW Radio fame. I'm not exactly sure how many people will remember it but I would urge you to give it a listen, it really is fantastic.

He describes it as "An internet radio show about videogames and the people who love them".

Listen here!

Robert Ashley talks to a developer at a big game studio about his strange trip from blue collar work to video game work, gets a lesson in work ethic from legendary game designer John Romero, finds out what can happen when you give your work away for free, and profiles Nick Smith (aka Ulillillia).

Will definitely listen. Man, to think it's been three years since his last one.

Can't believe this is finally out, and I can't wait to give it a listen. This has always been one of my favorite "podcasts," it reminds me a lot of This American Life or Radiolab, but for video games!

I wish Robert Ashley could get a steadier release schedule because the comparisons to "This American Life of Video Games" is apt.

Holy crap, finally! I thought Bobito had stopped doing these!

I thought we'd never see another of these; Ashley's work is astounding.

This episode is great. I'm just not sure the piece about Ulillillia fit in.

Finished listening to it just now, I'd never heard of Ulillillia before so that part was interesting to say the least. The Gasketball story was super depressing though.

I can't be bothered to listen to this podcast since an episode takes five years to come out. I like a constant flow. I know everyone always raves about this particular one, but the super loose release "schedule" is a major turn off.

Nice. Glad to have it back.

Okay, special-precious. Don't. But thanks for letting us know. I'll put it in the book.

Check out his YouTube channel sometime (same name); it can be pretty interesting.

I'm sorry my opinion bothers you. Would you like some kleenex for those salty tears?
