Lefty Cheats On The Married Gamers & Posts Here
I feel guilty for asking this, but if you have a couple of minutes, could you do me a solid and leave a good review on Mrs. L and my gaming podcast, The Married Gamers over on iTunes. We're trying very hard to move up on the featured charts and get some more exposure, and I figure if folks can give us bad reviews never even listened to an episode, certainly folks can give us good reviews for doing the same.
Speaking of The Married Gamers, I've been spending a lot of time posting news on the front page there, and it's been like pulling nails trying to recruit writers to post news pertaining to the various platforms and consoles. We're getting to be a pretty well-known podcast now, but it's our website news section that has been our stumbling block in preventing us from getting review copies, promotional materials, and the like. It's really been a source of frustration in getting that rolling.
I still love podcasting with my wife. It has been on heck of an adventure, and this summer I think we are going to get to do lots of really cool stuff, including a dinner at the San Francisco Russian consulate, doing press at San Diego Comic Con, and hanging out at PAX in Seattle. It should also be stated that it has been awesome, fascinating, and humbling this little community that has grown up around our podcast. The gaming fanatics have this knack of making the comic fanboys look like proper gentlemen, so to have a community of over 200 people that are friendly to one another, despite our particular differences.
I don't think we'll ever make money on the gaming podcast. I'm pretty realistic that the Married gamers will never turn into my primary job. It won't open doors into gaming PR work. It won't change my economic status or star quotient. However it has brought my wife and I closer. We've learned to work better together, to trust one another's abilities, and to listen better. And that is way, way cool.
(Having more itunes reviews would be cool as well too!)
