Geekbox Radio: Coming this week!
Posted by Ryan Scott in Site Stuff, Video GamesJanuary 12th, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
Tune in late this Friday (or possibly early Saturday, depending on how things work out), where you’ll be able to download the first of what will hopefully be many episodes of Geekbox Radio, an all-new gaming audio podcast from some of the talented ex-1UP personalities who brought you shows like GFW Radio, Legendary Thread, and Sports Anomaly (I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag yet as far as who’s appearing — you’ll have to tune in to find out!). With any luck, it might even be good. 
You might also notice that I’ve added a PayPal donation button up top. Let me be clear: I am not asking for free handouts here, and I don’t expect my loyal fans to pay my rent or anything crazy like that. The best way to support what I’m doing here is to download the podcast, listen to the podcast, leave comments here about the podcast, and Digg the podcast (this is especially important — if you’re looking forward to this podcast and want it to succeed, please Digg so more people can check it out!). This podcast is only as stable as its fan base, so please show your support and vote with your ears/Diggs. That said, any donations made to the site will — first and foremost — be used to enable a half-decent podcasting setup (I won’t lie — the first episode’s not gonna be very advanced, technology-wise!). In any case, I plan on full transparency; if anyone decides to donate, I will disclose exactly how much I’ve received and exactly where it’s going. Also note that this is a separate venture from Rebel FM and the 1UP Show crew’s new project, so if you’ve donated to them, you’ve done more than enough. We may be separate, but we’re still one big family.
Thanks for all your support and kind words so far, and stay tuned — hopefully we won’t disappoint!
UPDATE (2009-01-13): Thanks to all the support and donations, it’s starting to look like I might be able to record this thang with some decent equipment. I’m completely floored by the response, everyone. This is your podcast as much as it is mine. Now I really hope I don’t let you guys down!

Loved the podcast. One favor, can you try and make the levels more consistent? I don’t know if it was people moving away from the mics or what but people were often at wildly different volumes. Makes it hard to hear everyone. Thanks and keep them coming.

Ryan,
Excellent first “new” podcast! Karen and Greg were great as always and I really think you have kept the CGW/GFW/Lan vibe. I just joined Dig just to dig this and even though I hate Itunes I am going to review it on there. Keep up the great work. (I love the “raw” chick portion)
Peace……………

Hey, big GFW Radio fan here; been listening for a long time but never posted. According to your twitter you finished the podcast hours ago, I was just making sure you aren’t dead? Well if you aren’t dead then I’m still really looking forward to it. Good luck

Ryan Scott, the GFW Strong Silent man in the background, now with his own damn show!
I’ll be sure to listen and judge accordingly, especially when Lost starts back up here next week.
Good luck Ryan, keep the overhead low and the BS flowing (the good BS that is), and hopefully you and Talking Orange can be the new Giant Bombcasts of the Interwebs.

It’s also great that you guys are getting so much cash, as soon as I have some spare i will be donating.
From: Nahual
January 13th, 2009 @ 10:48 pm
Well, I might not be able to spare much with my crappy job, but since GFW Radio and then Lan Party were by far my favorite podcasts, even within 1up, you’ve got my donation.
Keep the spirit of the Brodeo alive!

When the old brodeo folded, my first thought was, “Oh, shit, now we’ll never hear voice on podcasts anymore,” and then I was so happy when you built something new. So do that. Again. Build something new.
From: Marcos

The world just wouldn’t be the same without a weekly “WHAT THE HELL!”, take my money and make me proud Ryan Scott and Co.
Wish you the best of luck in this project and I for one, as a huge fan of your previous work, will be supporting as much as I can.

Ryan,
GFW radio and Subsequently LAN Party sat right at the top of my favorite podcast list. So glad to hear that you and the mystery crew will be continuing on I really look forward to it. Hope the donation helps sorry it couldn’t be more. It is a great thing actually – it seems pretty incredible that coming out of the aftermath of the 1UP sale that all of my favorite things seem to be remaining intact in one form or another – Rebel FM has already posted and I’m really looking forward to what the Talking Orange folk put together for us. I wish I could have been donating to you guys all along – hell NPR does it why not you. Many thanks and best of luck moving forward – congrats on climbing so high on the Digg list as well.

I’m just trying to do you a favor, Ryan. Your podcast will be great without the esteemed max chill, but it’ll be totally amazing if you could get him to come on. He’s great and it’d be a total shame if no one picks him up as a regular.
PLEASE.

Ryan,
Love the name Geekbox. Realize you’ve had it for a while, but it really works well. Geekbox Radio is also a great name. Looking forward to the podcast. Is this a skype affaire? Assuming it is since it seems like we can assume Shawn and Jeff are in it.

Ryan O’Donnell just twittered about how many hardcore gamers’ wives watched the 1up show. Well, I just wanted to let you know, Ryan, about my non-gaming wife and her addiction to GFW/LAN Party…
Now, as I mentioned, my wife is DEFINITELY not a gamer, but together we listened to EVERY single GFW/LAN Party… at first she was weary, but you guys eventually won her over – BIG TIME!
Our countless day trips to the beach this past summer with my wife and chihuahua were made with GFW on the ipod for the whole 2hr drive… we shared some of our greatest moments with you guys during these trips. Great memories!
Awesome!

From: Thomas Dale
January 12th, 2009 @ 7:19 pm
I’m really looking forward to the podcast and anything else you do in the future.
Make sure you keep writing. Your stuff was great; I always paid specific attention to anything with your name on it in EGM, GFW, and on 1up.

Tommy, it will definitely be on iTunes. My tentative hosting arrangements are gonna pose no problems for keeping track of my traffic/downloads. That said, the more downloads it gets on iTunes, the more popular it gets. So please download it from iTunes if possible. I’ll definitely be explaining all this when the podcast goes up, heh.
From: Tommy
January 12th, 2009 @ 5:37 pm
Question–Will this venture be on itunes?
Question–If it is does, does that take away from ‘hits’ for you, rather is it better to get the podcast directly from your site or from itunes?

Sound awesome Ryan- I fully support a re-affirmation of all that the random crowd of popular/socially acceptable misfits that back the CGW/GFW/1UPPC/Ryan Scott empire.
The only darkness I see on the horizon is that moments like these tend to have aftershocks- even if they do recover.

While I’m super excited to hear this news, I don’t understand why you guys are all doing separate things. You could all do your own podcasts, but it would be much more powerful if you all banded together to form one site or network of shows, rather than just twittering about each others stuff.

Hi Ryan,
Good luck on the new venture. I can’t wait to find out who’s going to be on the show or if it will be a one man ryancast, which would be awesome by the way (especially with “what the hell?” sound bytes so it’d be like you talking to yourself).
Anyways, good luck. .’m sure the podcast will be great,
P.S. I can’t give you any money (due to no credit card and the irish recession) but will you accept good karma instead?

Holy crap! I had no idea this was going on, nor Matt’s stuff at Talking Orange. Good thing I’ve got Phil on my Twitter. (Following you now, too.)
Congratulations, Ryan!! It’s amazing how much stuff is happening. (Apparently Garnett has something cooking, too.) It’s hard to have everyone splintered out all over instead of right where they were at 1UP, but I’m so happy to see so much stuff going on, and so much buzz! Digg incoming.
