    Can anybody recommend any decent UK or Irish videogame podcasts?

    I listen to Citizen Game quite a bit, but haven't come across any other good ones.

    The only good one I found is One Life Left. Great radio show/podcast.

    I considered doing one with a few lads on shoryuken.ie but time and other things stood in the way. May revive the idea as it's apparent there's demand for such a thing...

    Not UK or Ireland but I've been enjoying giantbomb.com's stuff for a while.

    +1 for One Life Left. Stopped listening to Citizen Game recently as I found I was skipping 20 minutes while they talked about Wii shovelware releases.

    Rock Paper Shotgun have one. Production values aren't the best but they are worth a listen. [Link]

    Citizen Game are neglecting their needy listeners, hoping they'll go away. :)

    You can always watch me playing wow if you're bored, see linky in sig. Not much of a podcast though, more of a live streaming session as I'm levelling the Druid in the Boards guild.
    I'll be keeping the live streaming going though for the guild raids when we've enough levelled and geared up to start them.

    Anyone want to expand this to worldwide gaming podcasts?

    4 Guys 1UP is an excellent general gaming podcast.
    1UP also have their Retronauts podcast for Retro fans. Its a bit dry though...
    Gamercast Network - I used to really like this, but its getting too surreal now. They're trying too hard to be funny.
    I also listen to One Life Left... already been mentioned.

    For Xbox, IGN's Three Red Lights is good, and Major Nelson is worth a listen.

    I appreciate David Ellis' attempt to make a more thoughtful podcast with 4 Guys 1UP but, Jesus, I had to fast-forward through the first hour of one of the recent episodes. Asking his guest 'personal' questions, of limited interest to anyone but himself, became excruciating.

    Giant Bombcast and Gamers With Jobs are my worldwide favourite gaming podcasts. GB recently had the most interesting Game of The Year episode. They came up with the best set of categories and reasoned out their decisions live. They also had a bunch of short episodes over the holiday with their humour award categories such as "best late title card" and "the (Nolan) Northies".

    Gamers With Jobs podcast for a more thoughtful discussion of games than can be found elsewhere.

    Rebel FM is good - some people may dismiss it as a bunch of lowest common denominator toilet humour, but is has more to offer than just that.

    Supposedly non-gaming podcast Out of The Game, featuring N'Gai Croal, Shawn Elliott, Robert Ashley, Jeff Green is also great. I feckin' love Shawn Elliott but he seems to be a bit of a Marmite personality. Episodes are not what you would call 'regular', in fact it's been a good while since the most recent one.
