From the Bleachers Podcast: Episode 1

Hey, remember how you love podcasts? Good, because we've got a brand-new podcast just for you. It's a collaborative effort from SportsGamer.com and GameSpot.com called From the Bleachers. This weekly podcast will feature news from the world of sports and sports video games, developer and athlete interviews, your phone calls, and the kind of witty banter that you can only get when you lock the GameSpot and SportsGamer crew in a recording studio for an hour. Here's a quick look at just some of the topics that we discuss in our inaugural episode:

Madden's next cover athlete
Shanker's bizarre obsession with Kobe Bryant
The release date for Gran Turismo Mobile
Aaron's crazy Chicago Bears-loving brother
Jose Canseco's career as an author
Brian's anticipation of THQ's Baja
Mike Vick's prison football career
And much, much more...

This podcast is just as much yours as it is ours and we want to hear from you. If you have ideas for a new segment, a crazy rant you've got to get off your chest, or just want to say "hi," call us at 1-866-406-2638 and make yourself heard.

Simply left-click right here to listen right away, or right-click and save the file so you can put it on your fancy new iPod later.

Thanks for listening!

    Cool Beans the podcast was awesome, didn't even know this was here.

    I love the genuine Shanker / Aaron tension in any thing they're in it's funny as hell but I think Aaron beats him most of the time.

    Dude. Why don't Aaron and Shankar just make out with each other and get it over with. There's so much sexual tension between the two of them. All they need is each others tender touch and passionate kisses and all the hostilities will be done away with. Just stop fooling yourselves, you're not fooling anyone else.

    Wow do you guys even know sports? Kobe just turned 29 he's not 30/32. Kobe is in the running for MVP. David West and Chris Paul were both all-stars this season, Tyson Chandler played good for the bulls and had an off-season with the hornets last year.

    Kobe was the only all-star for the lakers this season. Please gamestop if you're going to have a sports talk show get people who actually watch sports this broadcast was a joke.

    I HATE the Hotspot so I had little hope for this to be any good but I have to say it was.....GREAT! I truely enjoyed the entire thing, I loved the fact that you guys started off with some video game sports news then jumped over to real sports, also nice to see you guys digest each topic a bit before moving on. "Call it" was a great idea considering we have ESPN analysis saying the most stupid crap without anytype of punishment for it (ever seen Skip Bayless on First Take youll know what Im talking about) Im trying really hard to find some flaws but really there wasnt any, besides some stupid comments like comparing Kobe to Mike Vike, or Randy Moss is a good person (Moss has one route the fly, where was he in the playoffs?) Another thing I love the little battle between Aaron and that other guy (whats his name?) Anyways loved the podcast and keep them coming.

    does aaron have anything constructive to say or is he just there to contradict everything shanker says?

    We'll be putting an in-page player up eventually, but the page wasn't ready yet and we wanted to get the episode out to you rather than waiting a month for a page to be designed.

    Neat. I probably won't listen to this, due to my complete lack of interest in sport games, but this is a good Idea.

    Hey guys, thanks for all the comments so far. We'll be bringing you the ability to subscribe in the next few weeks as we get this show off the ground. In the meantime, stay tuned for more nerds flirting with each other and a complete lack of professionalism next week!

    Is it just me or did this just seem like a bunch of nerds sitting around arguing about who's the bigger nerd?
    Stop flirting with each other and stick to talking about the games!!!
    Nobody cares who beat who playing MLB 08... Where's the professionalism?
