Introducing Torque Cast Radio, the show dedicated to all things Garage Games!
Well I've put on hold nearly all of my game development this past week, and have been organising the upcoming shows. Torque Cast Radio will be a monthly 1/2 hour to 1 hour show, delievered on the 15th of every month. It's my pleasure to introduce to you your hosts for the show, Anton Bursch, and Steve Adamson. It's a genuine honour to have two talented and knowledgeable community members approach me to help out, and between us all we've got the skill set, contacts and knowledge to deliver some fantastic content to you guys.
We spent most of last week outlining the shows format and came up with this.
News Roundup
Self explanatory, take any major stories of the past month, and discuss them as a team.
Show Feature
We take 20 minutes to deliever the "feature" of the show. This includes reviews, previews, interviews, round table & discussions. In upcoming podcasts we can tentitivley confirm an interview with Jacob Fike of PHP Overlord, a review of Rack em' Up road trip, a round table discussion of cross platform development with torque & much more.
Mail Bag
Answering any questions that have been asked by the community. These can be written, but would be much better recorded..get involved!! Rumours? Tech questions? Email them in at the address below, preferably with an audio clip of you asking them!
Developer Spotlight
Our other community contact point. Each month we'll be focussing our spotlight on a new developer, with links on the website, in the shownotes & you'll have 10 minutes to "pimp your project", followed by a 5 - 10 min Q & A from us. *anyone* can apply for spotlight, and we're really hoping for a large influx of interest. You can use your 10 minutes to talk about what ever you wish, a game, a resource a person, anything! If you're interested please mail me at robsandbach@urban-games.net with a summary!!
Torque Cast Radio Weekly Roundup
Should the show get popular there are plans to produce a far smaller weekly show. inspired by Anton's old weekly plans. The weekly show would let us address far more smaller but still cool stories based on people plans. We could even move developer of the week over to the round up
We want to make this show for you guys. We also want to get everyone involved on the show, and help generate interest and publicity for your project. If you have an idea for content, would like to be on the spotlight, would like to be on a roundtable or anything else, email me or get me in any of these ways. Also post your comments here, i can't reiterate enough how much we really need your feedback!

How much torque could the torque servers serve if the torque servers could serve torque?
I'm looking forward to hearing how this comes out. There may be some slow weeks, but with a monthly show, there should be enough content to keep everyone interested.

I think there are a ton of good topics for roundtable discussion, and you could even extract some ideas from some of the more popular threads here. Such as...
- the importance and quality of story in games
- do you really need an external physics engine incorporated into Torque
- how to budget for an indie game
- ways of getting artists and programmers together (team building)
...and so on. Jay Barnson has brought up some good discussions on his blog which would make good discussions, too, like "Are Hybrid RPGs Just Poor-Man's RPGs?" and "In-Game Advertising: Trend or Fad?"

If you fancy playing any music in the background or a full song now and then, have a look through music.podshow.com/, all the music on there is licensed for free use on podcasts and a lot of it is suprisingly very good (so long as you're selective ;)
Look forward to the first episode. Shame the GG podcast never made it to episode two, fingers crossed for this one :)

It will be available via an XML/RSS feed for the podcatcher/aggregators users among you. It will also be available as a straight download from the website.
