Sockscast

Your pals at the Album Listening Club have returned after only a week, following our previous episode, and this time around we're chewin' the fat and gettin' our ears blown the hell out with Boris' 2005 release Pink.

Sockscast! It can really move! Sockscast! It's got an attitude! Sockscast! It's the best podcast ALIIIIIEEEYIIIIEEEYIIIIIIIVE! And to prove it, we're jam-packed with lots of discussion for your earholes this time around as Polly explores THE ENTIRE WORLD, John plays the cutest little RPG this side of Undertale, and Rhete's gettin' to work cleaning out that Steam backlog, so get comfy, he's got a lot to talk about. After the news and questions segment, stick around for a special spoilercast portion of the show on Davey Wreden's The Beginner's Guide.

The Sockscast celebrates its official TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY the only way they know how: Doing a regular damn episode of The Sockscast because IT'S TOO DAMN HOT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE! In this action-packed episode, Rhete's travelling the No Man's Skies, John is throwing vegetables everywhere, and Polly has a score to settle with some hellspawn! Yyyyyeeeeaahhhhhhh...

It's the hottest summer on record (probably) and that means we had no choice but to break out our hottest Sockscast of the year (not likely.) In this whiz-bang Rhete-centric episode, Rhete's literally doing all the things, John just can't seem to pry himself away from these Sonic games, and Polly's about to fire John for having the worst Sonic-related opinions.

Got a nice, breezy new episode of the ol' Sockscast here for ya this time around! This new chapter of the Sockscast Legacy gets started in probably the only fitting way as we John helps us dive deep into Sonic The Hedgehog, old and new while Rhete and Polly nerd out over the happy memories they created with Megadimension Neptunia VII and Life is Strange. Also, some anime or something, I dunno. Also, John is rude.

Well, who'd have thought we'd have made it this far? Our first big milestone! Episode 50! And to celebrate, we're...kinda just doing things the way we normally do around here. Up first, John's playing Pokemon Go because of course he is, Rhete's playing Shadows of Mordor and finally discovering "his thing," and Polly has zero time to solve this dilemma. After the news and your Twitter questions, we have ourselves a bit of a spoilercast for the Japanese Cartoon Shinsekai Yori in the second half of the show, but don't worry, there's a warning and timestamps to help you skip that if you'd like. And finally, the episode wraps up with a nearly 30-minute (though not in any way thorough or comprehensive) clip show of some of our favorite moments over the course of the show's first 50 episodes! Talk about jam packed! We earned that four-hour mark this time! (Shinsekai Yori Spoilercast Timestamps: 2:37:34 - 3:30:43)

Hey! Lookit that! It's only been almost three months, but your good pals at the Album Listening Club are back in action and this time they're reviewing Coheed & Cambria's ambitious and seemingly troubled 2010 release, Year of the Black Rainbow.

The Sockscast is back to a trio and in this episode things get maybe... a bit weirder than usual! Mighty No. 9 finally managed to eke its way out and and boy do we have opinions on that! After that Rhete has lots of experiences with the fishes, John's very, very, VERY excited to tell us all about The Game Specifically Made For Him, and Polly has a big project announcement! Things only get weirder from here...

It's that time of year again, when videogame companies trot out fake demos and trailers to illicit excitement in hopes of lots of pre-orders! We start this episode by shooting the bull about E3! And then, comin' out the bushes, you've heard her in the background of many Sockscast episodes, but she's finally decided to take center stage to make her podcast debut, it's Anna Thyer and she wants to talk some Fire Emblem! Along with that, Polly reaches out to the truth by shooting it, Rhete has finally played the most difficult game ever made, and John remains VERY calm while playing Spelunky.

Get yourselves ready for a Sockstravaganza as we welcome long-standing Socksmakepeoplesexy.Net community pal, artist, and overall great guy Carmichael Micaalus. He's gonna be sure to get you ALL caught up on his 2016 so far, which includes thrills, chills, and maybe a Fort Knox robbery. After that, Polly isn't quite sure why there's a fifth Die Hard movie, Rhete tears more into Tearaway and is reduced to tears, and John is playing all the hot new AAA releases.
