Geekbox Radio: Coming this week!
Posted by Ryan Scott in Site Stuff on Jan 12, 2009 @ 3:07 PM | 100 commentsTune 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!

I easily get addicted to PSP games and i am always updated with the newest PSP games in town.*,*
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……………
Episode is late in classic GFW fashion. Looking forward to it, Ryan.
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
i love my mommy
40 bucks! This better be the best beer i ever had …
Screw Lost ! Look forward to Battle Star Galactica …AND Ryan’s podcast
Don’t say “thang” again, Sam I mean Ryan.
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.
Namco, on the contrary, I will be appearing on next week’s episode of Rebel FM. This is definitely a separate production, but we all support and link to each other.
This is great news Ryan!
Can’t wait to hear what you have to say, I’ll be tuning in to yours and rebel.fm stuff in the months to come.
Can’t wait to hear what you’ve got Ryan. On one hand you’ve broken away and are not participating from Rebel FM, but on the other hand, “F-YEAH!”, it’ll be like we’ve go the brodeo back!
just listened to rebel.fm — [the premiere wednesday podcast ].. can’t wait for tomorrow to experience the premiere friday podcast! keep it up ryan, we all support you!
I’m really looking forward to seeing what you have in the works. Two things I’m really anticipating in the coming 7 days: This podcast & Lost!
Can’t wait. I hope your working to get this on iTunes as well.
We’re behind you 100%, Ryan. I’m extemely glad you’ve decided to carry on the legacy.
Ryan – all luck brother, without hearing a word you have my vote on I(tard)tunes.
If ye can make a decent podcast happen (regularly) I’d be willing to pitch in a little something something via pp donation.
Till then my fingers are crossed!/
Really looking forward to it I know you will do a great job! It’s great to see three great sites from all the people who lost there job’ (well A good few of them).
It’s also great that you guys are getting so much cash, as soon as I have some spare i will be donating.
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!
Ryan!! Merge with eat sleep game and talking orange instead of doing your own thing!! You will have more support and $$
I’ll sure as hell be tuning in!
This news just made my day.
Alright ex-1uppers, huddle up, huddle up! It’s time to start a podcast; what’s goin’ sell? What’s goin’ sell? Sean Molloy, Jeff Green, Shawn Elliott. . . They’ll paypal us money!
This is so awesome! Thanks for working so hard to continue bringing us more great entertainment. I am really looking forward to the show.
sweet! excellent, you guys r the greatest.
Ryan, just tell Jeff that the new podcast is called Gearbox Radio; A show about motorcycles. How could he refuse?
New podcast? Hell yeah!
Glad to see you back on the air papa smurf.
I find it hard to imagine going from “a bunch of fun guys heving interesting chats about games” to “pretending like I don’t find let’s-celebrate-nerds solipsism repulsive”. Have fun!
Falcomadol, believe me, I want that as much as you do.
Win!
Yes, thank you. Any chance Jeff will be rejoining the cast occasionally?
Ryan, make it happen…
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.
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.
Pretty Awesome, really amazing….

The team that keeps the earth spinning – all the 1up’ers and ex-1up’ers.
Great to see you continuing podcasting!
Thank you so much for continuing to podcast! Hearing this news has brightened my week!
Hey Ryan, may sound cheesy, but I’m glad you’re continuing podcasting. I’ll download it as soon as I can after it’s released.
I can’t wait Ryan. Great to hear you’re keeping (virtual) radiowaves alive.
Let me guess— will Greg “The Yakker” Ford be making an appearance?
YAK! YAK! YAK!

My weeks have been empty without the usual 1up podcast. It’s awesome that you’re making something new.
Can’t wait for the podcast Ryan.
Hurraaaaay!
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.
Ah, sounds awesome =]

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.
Dugged! Looking forward to the first episode.
the personalites at 1up became a staple of my gaming life. i will follow and support you all. very happy to hear that you’re keeping your spirits up and forging on.
