Forum member Andsy and myself decided to start our own podcast centered around gaming as well as movies, music, TV shows and other topics that come up. We just recorded our first episode today and we'd love to hear what you all think about it. It's our first time, so obviously some kinks need to be worked out, but any and all feedback is greatly appreciated

It's posted on Youtube now and it should be uploaded to iTunes at some point tomorrow.

Episode 2 is now on Youtube, with links to both the MP3 and iTunes download sites

Thanks again to everyone who listened, gave feedback and supported our first efforts at getting a podcast off the ground. We really appreciate it and we hope you'll keep listening and enjoying

Episode 3 is now live on Youtube!

I've been battling a cold, so my voice sounds extra-nasally. Enjoy

RadRascals

 

This week, we are joined by guest Eric, aka "NostalgiaKing". We discuss all manner of topics including Mass Effect 3, music and whatever else we fancied at the time. Jolly good.

In this episode, Ben and Andy discuss FOOD and BEER. Oh, and some gaming discussion does occur.

Episode 7 is now up, one day early! This week are joined by Chris, aka. LildopDOTcom from the forums and Youtube, as we have a lively discussion about gaming and also delve back into the realms of music. Ben makes an announcement, Andy enjoys a few beers and a good time is had by all.

Episode 8 is now up, and this time we are joined by forum member Marmul. In this action-packed episode, we discuss some interesting gaming-related topics, including Marmul's now-infamous "5 Game Suicide Run", as well as some...shall we say, colorful stories about Easter. We apologize in advance for some dodgy audio, as there were some issues with choppy sound and lag over Skype.

On this awesome episode, the Rascals take a trip to the land down under to talk with Lachlan, aka. LMG Gaming, as we delve into various topics such as podcasting, Vegemite, kangaroo dookie and our favorite topic of all - gaming nostalgia. We delve into the gaming experiences of our youth and reminisce about days gone by. This episode nearly tips the scales at a meaty 3 hours, so make yourself comfortable and enjoy the ride.

browland1

 

You asked, and we delivered! Episode 10 is our rapscalious Q&A special, one that took us over 4 hours and several beers to get through. All the questions asked in the forum, even the random and dirty ones, were answered and we had an awesome time doing so. Thanks to everyone who asked us questions and we hope you enjoy hearing us answering them. Due to the length of the podcast, we have split it up into two separate parts.

We're joined by the fantastic PeteDorr this week, where we chat about starting a Podcast, general Youtube awesomeness, and a few games we've been playing / anticipatin'

On this week's episode, Andy was unfortunately under the weather and had to sit this episode out. In his place, we have two awesome ladies filling his rather lady-like shoes, his fiancee Caroline and longtime Youtube community member Sami, better known as xTatSplatx. We discuss some great games we've been enjoying, some good movies and TV shows to check out and, appropriately, the subject of female gamers. Some audio issues do creep in here and there - it happens with Skype sometimes.

browland1

 

This week, we are joined by Darro, fellow Youtuber and co-host of the United Gamedom Podcast. In this meaty 3 hour romp, we talk about games, movies, TV shows, medical conditions and one immmesnely disturbing music video. It's an episode not to be missed!

browland1

 

This week, we are joined by Youtuber and podcast host extraordinaire Tim, aka. Jumblejunkie. In this meaty, 3 hour sausage-fest, we cover video games and real life converging, some of the awesome games we have been playing and we have a nice little chat about music. Since Tim can rascal it out with the best of them, expect plenty of side-tangents and off-kilter discussions. Enjoy

browland1

 

This week, we are joined by Liam, aka. The Donovan Viper, as we cover a wide array of topics including HD re-releases of older games, TV shows and soft-serve ice cream that will help you beat the heat...among other things.

Our apologies in advance for some sound quality issues, as we're having heatwaves in both Canada and the UK and needed fans. We were sweating our balls off, quite literally. This unfortunately meant that some of our responses to last week's Question of the Week were inaudible and had to be cut. We'll do our best to prevent this in the future.

browland1

 

In this episode, we are joined by veteran Youtube community member and fellow PGRF Trollfighter John, aka. XxKomebackKidxX. We discuss our thoughts on the upcoming E3 conference, what games we have been enjoying and a host of other topics. This is another entry into the "3 Hour Club" and we think you'll enjoy it.

browland1

 

This week, we are joined by Neal, aka. Kharnivore2099 on Youtube and fellow moderator on PGRF. Awesome chap. In this episode, we discuss the ups and downs of E3 2012, some of the games we've been enjoying and an obscene amount of side-tangents. In other words, a fine episode in which fun was had by all.

browland1

 

This week, we are joined by Holly, aka doginmylense, from Youtube and the Operation Kill Screen podcast. In this episode, we talk Nintendo, games, reviews, TV shows and other awesomeness. Holly also makes it known what will happen to anyone who says bad things about cats, so we highly suggest you listen. Your life may depend on it

browland1

 

After last week's unexpected hiatus, the rascals have returned! This week, we are joined by Youtuber and awesome Aussie Nigel, aka. TheGamerz01, as we cover a variety of topics including the games of 2012 and some great movies and TV shows. As for what the title of this episode refers to...we'll leave you to discover that on your own

browland1

 

This week, Ben and Andy fly solo once again and have a grand old time. Topic covered include some thoughts on hitting the 20 episode milestone, the pros and cons of Kickstarter, games we have been enjoying, TV shows featuring questionable hairstyles, cats and pretty, prancing ponies. Yep, it's another winner

browland1

 

This week, the messiah of metal has risen and joined the Rascals for 3 hours of power! Youtuber, podcaster and musician Jason, aka MetalJesusRocks, joins us to discuss a wide range of topics. Our sermon includes Kickstarter, violence in the media, cats, games and a conversation-rich discussion on music. If this is the only Rad Rascals episode you listen to...shame on you, but Jesus forgives

browland1

 

On this awesome episode, our last before taking the month of August off, we are joined by fellow Youtuber and podcaster Jordan, aka. MeetingFlipper. Among the many off-kilter things we discuss, games and movies are the order of the day, along with an in-depth discussion about the Youtube gaming community. We also revisit the topic of media violence and educate our listeners on a new fetish that is sweeping the brony nation. This is one for the books, good people.

browland1

 

On the first of our short and sweet "hiatus special" episodes, Ben and Andy delve into stories about their formative years. Find out about their experiences as kids, from Andy's nefarious friends to what started Ben's lifelong love of boobies. As you can imagine, we got into plenty of shenanigans. If you were wondering how the Rad Rascals came into being, we take you right back to our roots!

Disclaimer: These stories are for educational purposes only, and should not be recreated or enjoyed by anyone, ever. The stuff we did was embarrassing and certainly not big, nor clever. Be smart guys, and remember: Don't be a cock.

In our second Special episode, the Rascals take a more personal stance and talk about serious matters. We delve into our own personal struggles in life, including depression and family difficulties, to what we have done to overcome them over the years. While some of our trademark humour remains, we even surprised ourselves with how serious the discussion got. It's not your typical Rad Rascals episode, but we hope you get something out of listening to it.

Let us know what you think of these "specials". It's something we wanted to do in order to bridge the gap during our August hiatus, so we hope you like them. As always, any feedback, constructive criticism or stories you'd like to share are most welcome

browland1

 

For the third Special episode, Andy and Ben decide to return to lighter territory with a topic that is near and dear to us: movies. We each pick our "Top 5" all-time favourite movies and discuss them in-depth, with the usual side helping of tangents thrown in for good measure. We hope you like our selections, and please let us know if you decide to watch any of them, and what you thoughts are. Also, we welcome everyone to share some of their favourite movies as well. Maybe we'll all discover some new gems

browland1

 

For our last Special epsiode, we were honestly struggling for ideas. We covered the good, the bad and the utterly hilarious in the three previous ones, and we were at a loss for this one. Not that this stopped us, so we decided to stretch our collective podcasting abilities and pull this one out of our arses. We're talking about the internet, without which you wouldn't be reading this now. We discuss life before the internet, what great things its brought us and some of the possible drawbacks...like being threadbombed with Goatse pictures.

A big thank you to everyone who has listened, commented on and discussed our previous Specials. We were initially apprehensive about how they would be received, given the rather serious topics covered, but you call came through in fine form and we couldn't be happier. Next week, the Rascals return

browland1

 

After a month-long hiatus, the Rad Rascals return to record a marathon, 4-hour extravaganza in which we answer your questions. We asked, and mildly put, you delivered. We answer all kinds of questions, from the standard "what's you're favourite game"-type questions to the truly bizarre. Predictably, some of the questions were downright messed up. Regardless, you asked and we answered, and had an amazing time doing it.

browland1

 

For this week's episode, Ben and Andy are flying solo as they discuss the past, present and future of handheld gaming. Our histories with it, how it's evolved and where it's going. Since the podcast has been on hiatus for over a month, you can also expect lots of discussion about games being played, TV shows being enjoyed and more of the same tomfoolery that you've come to expect. The rascals are back, baby!

browland1

 

This week, we are joined by popular Youtuber, video game enthusiast and All Gen Gamers co-host John "Gamester81" Lester. In this awesome episode, we discuss the Youtube community and podcasting, the ups and downs of collecting, the video games that we have been enjoying and some great TV show recommendations. As a side note, this episode was surprisingly light on penis jokes. Ben and Andy are both seeking medical attention as a precaution.

browland1

 

On this episode, we get a little frisky as Craig, aka "tvandlust", drops by to spend a few hours chatting bollocks with us. Topics covered include Craig's various endeavours, what the future console generations might hold, the potential for another video game crash, Ben's not-so-hidden Borderlands 2 fanboyism and Andy reclaiming his manhood by beating a certain game. The usual gaming and TV show discussions round off this fine episode.

browland1

 

We are joined this week by the VintageVideoGameGeek, fellow Youtuber and co-host of the popular Hit Reset Radio podcast. On this episode, we commit what might very well be podcast suicide by discussing the games we feel are weird and overrated. Needless to say, some popular titles get thrown under the bus. Other highlights include more pee stories from Ben, Andy addressing the controversy we stirred up over Sony and the triumphant return of the cat segment.

browland1

 

This week, the rascals welcome veteran Youtuber, podcaster and sporter of the finest moustache in the gaming community, Anthony aka. MagusX1. We delve into Magus' various endeavours over the years, answer your lengthy responses from last week's question and have a lively chat about video game piracy and emulation. As expected, we continue to derail legitimate topics with penis jokes. In other words, it's business as usual in the Rad Rascals camp.

browland1

 

We suggest you clear your schedule for this one. Due to some changes to the recording schedule, Ben and Andy decide to fly solo and embark on what they thought would be a short episode. True to their rapscallious form, this was not to be. Instead, what you'll get is a marathon episode in which many discussions and tangents were had, and amusing stories involving video games and poop were told. Topics covered include the console wars, the annoyance of fanboys and haters and, naturally, the cat segment.

browland1

 

This week, the incomparable Tom, aka. JurassicJunkie, joins the rascals for some pre-Halloween shindiggery. In the spirit of the season, we talk about some of the things that scare us most - scary movies, games, phobias and Ben's frightening inability to pronounce certain British curse words. Also included is the typical discussion on games, movies and TV shows, as well as some brilliant ideas on a crossover between a supernatural Godzilla and a creature made of...well, certain naughty bits. Not a dull moment was had on this fantastic episode, and we know you'll enjoy it. Happy Halloween, everyone!
