Current state of some 1up Podcasts.

By C2C 1 Comments

1up.com has been making some minor news lately.  1up recently revamped the layout/look of their site and they let go of Scott Sharkey.  However I want to share some thoughts on 2 of 1up's podcasts that are seeing some change.  

         

2006-2010

The Retronauts podcast just put out its' last episode on Thursday.  The Retronauts podcast had been around for about four years which include the "golden era" of the 1up podcasts, the deterioration of 1up, and 1up's current community focused state.  The Retronauts podcast is unique in the sense that, aside from the retro news section, time does not effect episodes because of the subject matter.  While its understandable Jeremy Parish decided to end the podcast due to quality concerns, it's still a shame that there will be no more Retronauts podcasts.  If you haven't listened to it, I highly recommend looking at the back catalog to see if any topic catches your eye.

The Oddcast is 1up's podcast that covers slightly off-beat topics with a sense of humor.  While no changes have been announced for the podcast, the absence of Scott Sharkey is going to change the dynamics of that Podcast dramatically. His really sarcastic remarks and dark sense of humor off set the more light hearted nature of the rest of the cast.  Seeing as how the Oddcast was set to be 1up's de-facto premier podcast with the end of the Retronauts podcast, it is going to be interesting to see how the cast adapts to the lack of Sharkey's commentary.
