A Life Well Wasted

April 30th, 2009 by Troy Goodfellow · 1 Comment · Podcast

I don’t listen to many podcasts, to be honest. Most of them follow the same tired routine as mine – a round table of gaming know-it-alls. By trying to stick to a single topic, Three Moves Ahead tries to distinguish itself, but for the most part we’re just another bunch of guys (almost always guys) talking about stuff.

Which is why Robert Ashley’s A Life Well Wasted is so special and unique. It’s an NPR type show that often takes a full month for him to edit and update. Every since the sale of Ziff Davis, his primary writing home, he’s been trying to do these and he’s only on episode 3. In it, Ashley looks at a topic in great depth and usually with a number of voices. The editing is probably a bigger pain in the ass than I am willing to do.

If you only have time in your life for one more gaming podcast, choose this one.

    “If you only have time in your life for one more gaming podcast, choose this one.”

    Very true. Ashley has an incredible feel for what makes good radio, and the use of music adds so much. I love the usual “what you been playing” podcasts, but ALWW is in a different league.
