Hello to all GOL gamers!
So let me quickly introduce myself, my name is Matthew Cross. I have been a long time Linux user, since the Mandrake days, but I have been a PC gamer for even longer. So anyways, onto the point of this post. With all the new games, and gaming happening in the world of *nix, and GOL being the place for Linux gaming news. It seems only appropriate that GoL has all the content to go with a major gaming news website.
The Boss and others, do a great job currently provides us with news, livestreams, and much more content. So I wanted to give back for their awesome work, by offering to do the GOL podcast!
So what I am currently looking for as far as format, and what is needed? The biggest thing right now that is needed are co-hosts for the show. I am currently look for 2 co-hosts to join me on the show. How often will we have show? The show will be recorded once a week with a show length running between 1 to 1.5 hours. Also, any co-host must be comfortable being on mic and/or camera. The finer details of the show format will be worked out be the co-hosts and myself. We will of course, be taking feedback and suggestions from the community for ideas and show topics
To give a quick synopsis of the show discuss news of the week, have developer interviews, and topics of discussion for the week as it relates to Linux gaming. So comment below if you are interested in co-hosting the show, and we will set up a time to talk. Game on! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I could join only on weekends. I have been thinking about GOL podcast too, but finally someone realizes it :)
I might consider it since I am also gamer since ~2004(?), and recent Linux user (since 2014)
Anyway, good luck with that ;)
Gamer since the Pentium 166Mhz days and a linux user since, idk, 2011(?). :P
I've been using GNU/Linux since ~2008, and gaming since almost as far as I can remember
I listen to a good lot of podcasts, linux wise its LAS, Linux unplugged, linux voice, linux luddites, Bad voltage etc
Gaming I listen to oh no video games, year of steam, and the podqusition,I also used to listen to chuckle bits podcast but thar was a lot less about games and is discontinued now.
I've been co-hosting SteamLUG Cast on and off for a couple of years now, and we found that having a pool of hosts that can cycle in and out helps make sure that there are people to fill in when availability changes (we do aim for 3 hosts per show though). Switching hosts around can help keep things feeling fresh too.
If there's any other experience or advice you'd be keen to grab, I'm happy to answer questions.

Having Cheese on board to help out (even if it's just at the start) would probably help things along a good bit.
Camera not so much a requirement as a nice to have incase we ever decide to do a livestream of the show with some audience participation etc. But definitely not a requirement. And cheese would love to have you on! I've been doing podcasting on and off myself as well for the last 5 years or so.

Also, Matthew... Your name sounds familiar, but I can't place it... Were you around on MUB back in the day? Did you ever visit The Mandrake eXPerience?
looking forward to see/hear about the podcasts soon.
Look forward to hearing / watching it.
Linux user from... I can't remember, 2000 or earlier, and pc gamer from 4 or 5 years now, and my mic is a pseye (yes, the ps3 camera).
