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!

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
OK with being on mic, but I'd feel a bit weird about the camera.
I think it would actually be interesting to have people from different countries and backgrounds; this site has an international community, why not represent that. Unless of course you feel you'd have trouble following a conversation in English at all.
But I'm biased of course since I'm not a native speaker either. :)
I am also a professional c++ developer (not in gaming, but scientific programming), and am very happy to be on mic and camera. I am in the UK, though, so don't know if timezones might be a problem!
But if you're recording on a weekend and you really need someone, sure. Weekdays are iffier.
34 years old, been using linux since 2002, cut my teeth on gentoo in my first job. distro of choice currently linux mint on my HTPC. been playing games since 1986, and eager to talk about games. again, camera shy but mic happy.
Again, The camera is not a requirement just a nice to have should we ever decide to livestream the show when we record, for things like audience participation etc. I would love to have you on I always love hearing about genres people either do or do not like etc. I find differences in gaming taste makes people look at games they normally may not have.
As far as the international representation. I am all for the idea! English speaking is a necessity, as well we all need to be able to understand what the others are saying.

All participants should submit a minute or so of a game review of their choice (on Linux ofc).
