Filed under: Podcasts

Update: RSS feed is up! iTunes support is coming very soon!

While we've been carefully taking the beta wrapping off our jam-packed website here at Big Download, we started to feel a little sad. We've been beta testing for so long that we don't want it to end, what else can we use as an excuse? Enter, the BigCast - the official podcast of BigDownload.com. In our inaugural "beta edition" episode we attack everything from phallic Spore creatures to achievement farming. You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll wonder if we will ever fix our audio issues. The answer is yes. Hey, it's in beta! Welcome to the BigCast, because we all know if the world needs anything ... it's another gaming podcast!

[RSS MP3] Add the BigCast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.

Produced by Xav de Matos

PC Gamers are evil, non-social creatures. There are many of them, reading this now. They just prefer to remain hidden, unless properly provoked.Posted at 6:37PM on Jun 27th 2008 by Darth Nader

I haven't listened to it yet, but I just want to say...

It is completely 100% awesome that you have a TMBG song on it. Awesome, I say!Posted at 9:52AM on Jun 29th 2008 by Veko

"nice Xav, good to see you on a different show than that insufferable 360 fancast."

Why not be more constructive with your feedback? What makes us so insufferable?

Also, yay BigCast!Posted at 2:31PM on Jul 2nd 2008 by Richard Mitchell

We are indeed a treacherous and lurking kind of gamer! *sneers*

I do hope more people start posting up. Keep to good work guys!Posted at 2:06PM on Jul 7th 2008 by xtremuuuu
