The only one I listen to continually is Save your game - interesting discussions, not just focused on nostalgia/old school, great guests and some ACTUAL chemistry and good banter between the hosts! I've tried some other ones, but they've been a bit too stiff and lacking in fun/charisma (for lack of a better word) for my taste.

See this is interesting, that's a prime example of one that I can't get on with at all! But it's also a good thing, it means that there is variety in styles even among our little niche interest

I've been thinking about checking out some related podcasts, so these suggestions are going to be useful. Thanks all!

Another podcast I've discovered recently is Quest Quest. It's a very light hearted look through the two presenter's memories of adventure games. I'm still trying to figure out if I like it - I have to skip the first half hour to get past the nonsense talk before they get to the episode's subject!

I follow two great adventure game podcasts: Podcasts | Adventure Game Hotspot (of course) and Adventure Games Podcast.

I found this one searching around, but it seems to be inactive (although the associated YouTube channel is still active):  YakWaxLips - YouTube

Anyone know of any others?

Hey this is Seoirse who started the Adventure Games Podcast and I just wanted to thank you for mentioning the podcast! I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying it!

I find myself very sensitive to the hosts on a podcast - how they speak, what kind of personality they bring to things, annoying banter vs. scripted, those who just laugh at their own jokes - and they will really make or break one for me. So although I've listened to everything posted so far, I have quite a small selection that I enjoy.

I like DOS Game Club quite a bit. Classic Gaming Today is excellent.

I'm the same. I find it quite irritating when the hosts go off topic for about twenty minutes which really puts me off. That's why we try to stay on topic as much as possible and the way we are on the podcast is the way we interact when we're not recording as well which is one reason why we are all good friends outside the podcast as well

Speaking of other podcasts I would highly recommend Ask Us About Loom where the host Matt talks to other devs and adventure game fans about adventure games both modern and old. While Matt and I are friends now I first discovered him through his podcast so i would highly recommend people check it out. Not sure how to include hyperlinks here but you can check it out on Spotify below:

I guess I can safely self-promote Back Seat Designers, a podcast that I co-host with my mates Fred and Gareth. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeuPH...QF3M2blJ95

Thanks for the link, wasn't aware of this and it seems right up my street.

On a similar if slightly off topic note. A few game developers to have dev log youtube channel things which I do find interesting. Powerhoof who made the Drifter, "The Point & Click Devlog"/Adam Bunker who recently released The Biggleboss incident.

Hi Seoirse! Yours is one of the podcasts I do enjoy listening to! Thanks for keeping things on topic :p

Y'all may find it useful to search for podcasts about the old Text Adventure games that were the standard before King's Quest changed everything.

Adventure Games Podcast, Hotspot, and Save Your Game are all regular listening for me.

As Seoirse mentioned, Ask us about Loom was very enjoyable- and I was lucky enough to be a guest once talking about Darkside Detective (although I think my audio was really bad) . I don't know if it's still going as the last episode was in June.

Personally I don't mind a bit of 'bants', so long as it's not forced- like when you listen to some BBC Sounds podcasts, with celebs clearly put together by their agents or a marketing team.

Matt and Roses on Save Your Game are usually pretty good with this, and I like how they go to the effort of making segments like ranking every adventure game, whether they've heard of the games or not...

I can see what everyone means by hosts going off topic and having a mess of in-jokes can be annoying. All I can say is, you would not like our podcast very much. <shrug>

So far, I am really enjoying listening to DOS Game Club. I went back to the very first episodes and will try to listen to all the episodes about games I have (fond) memories of. They also seem to bring aboard people who worked on the games being discussed, or people somehow connected to more deep knowledge of the games, to provide some historical background. I am certainly learning new things about games I love.

(Just listened to the episode about Strike Commander – Origin’s flight sims were always heavily story-driven, with lots of dialogue sequences, beautiful cutscenes, exploring new locations etc, giving them a cool point-and-click adventure vibe between all the missions themselves. Probably why I enjoyed them so much.)
