It's finally here! Myself and Tim have been pondering over whether to start an IndieGames podcast for a while now, and this weekend we set it all in motion. The IndieGames.com Podcast #1 is now available to listen to online or download if you'd prefer, and can be found just below the cut. Alternatively, you can subscribe to the podcast RSS feed here.

First off, I should explain the set-up: each week, we'll have a guest indie developer hosting the podcast, with Tim and I then getting involved in each topic. When we were discussing how the podcast should be set out, we wanted it to be a little different from your normal listening material, and the 'different indie developer hosting each week' idea was a neat little twist that we decided to go for. Hopefully you guys will agree!

Everything we discussed in the podcast is linked to in this post (again, below the cut). So if you'd like to check out more details on anything we talked about, it's all laid out nice and simple just below. As it's the first podcast, we want to hear from you lot about what we can do to make it better! The plan is to be a bit experimental with features and ideas each week, until we find exactly the kind of show we (and you) are comfortable with. With that all said, take a listen and enjoy!
