You spoke – and we listened. We're very happy to announce the birth of the Push Square Podcast, hosted by our resident duo of Bens. Ben Potter, who you'll certainly recognise from our video section – the basket case responsible for our cracking Game of the Month flicks – and Ben Tarrant, who's been reviewing with us for several years.
This is exactly what it says on the tin: a pilot. As such, it's fairly rough around the edges to say the least and features a placeholder name the Bens used for the sake of conversation, which will not feature in future episodes. It also doesn't include the planned audience participation section because, well, you guys didn't know about this so how could we talk to you? Now that the veil of secrecy has been lifted, however, we'll be reaching out to you guys via our forums for stuff in each episode.
Speaking of the forums, if you have any suggestions, requests, or you simply want to tell Ben T that he needs to hurry up and play Uncharted [Wait, what – Ed?] – post them through here. The Bens will keep a close watch on them, and work to build the podcast around feedback – this is for you, the players, after all.
Anyway, enough words. The podcast can be found below. We hope that you enjoy this pilot and tune in to our future episodes! We look forward to hearing your feedback in the comment section below or in the forums.
You can subscribe to the Push Square Podcast on iTunes, via the RSS Feed or YouTube. Alternatively, you can play or download each episode directly with SoundCloud.
If you like our podcast, please tell your friends and consider leaving a review on iTunes.

Congratulations @Batman and @BenTarrant! Amazing work!
Awesome! I'll listen in work.
Maybe NintendoLife could do a podcast too?
What no Sammy?
Good work tho Bens Love the retro intro music!
Congrats fellas. Hope it gets huge!
@Dodoo Other team members, including myself, will be putting in appearances as new episodes roll out. But this is very much the Bens' project, and I think we've got the best possible people to host and push it forward.
Signing up now, love a good podcast.
@BrizzoUK Thanks, hope you enjoy it!
@get2sammyb Yeah that's cool, BUT...
wtf with Ben not having played an Uncharted!?!?!?!?! lol
Cheers, guys. I know it's been said in the past that a podcast would be difficult, so I thank you guys for going through with it.
@DerMeister Too many people asked for us to ignore it. It was always going to happen eventually.
@Dodoo I know, right? My first question for next episode is: WHY HAVEN'T YOU PLAYED UNCHARTED YET, BEN?
Will be listening to this on my way home tonight (after the VideoGamer one....am I allowed to listen to competitors??)
It's my favourite gaming website so look forward to listening
Ps I did recommend the name in the forums, and yet you've given me no credit for my original idea
Good work! I hope its not just a one off.
@get2sammyb
I did thanks, great start, already left a 5 star review. I thought it was well produced for a pilot as well.
@mrobinson91 We had a big list of sample names to begin with, and it was surprising how many of them popped up in that forum post
However, I am willing to change the name to 'Push Square Podcast as named (kind of) by Mr. Robinson91.' Pretty catchy, eh?
@BrizzoUK Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
@Batman haha sounds good to me! Look forward to listening later
Man I'm glad this is happening, can't wait to listen to this tonight
Does Tarrant even own a PS4?
Good stuff guys.
Awesome stuff! I'll throw this on when the gf goes the gym in a bit.
@Splat Apparently not
@Batman @BenTarrant: Really liked it, keep up the good work; I expected something more awkard for a pilot, but it was really well done
@Octane Thanks! This is just the beginning. Once we've got the format down, we're going to be the smoothest and most arousing (probably) podcast around.
I literally just took my podcast app (that comes default on every iphone) out of its "Useless" folder and put it on my main page. hahaha. I'll check it out today. Already subscribed!
@ztpayne7 Thank you!
Ben and Ben...not quite as funny as Bill and Ben
@Simon_Fitzgerald Uncanny resemblance, though.
@get2sammyb lmao! ...and you're the one pulling the strings.
Delighted this has started up, really looking forward to it, I'll be giving it a listen on my drive to college. Great that ye put the podcast on Player FM too, sometimes that app tends to get ignored
I always wondered what the people at pushsquare sounded like.
@readyletsgo We did one for a while before it just kinda died out. Would that be something you'd be interested in seeing come back?
@goonow Posh, I imagine.
Really enjoyed that guys. 'Indie bin' is genius!
@MitchVogel sorry for the late reply!! A NL podcast? Yeah would love it! Do you think they would give it a go again?
@readyletsgo I'm not entirely sure. My understanding is that there wasn't enough interest, and it ultimately wasn't worth the time investment required. That being said, I'd be interested in giving it a go if there was demand.
@MitchVogel well you have one listener here
Maybe do a little survey over there, see if interest has changed since then?
