ThePlayStationShow.com (TPSS for short) is a weekly podcast about video games, primarily centered around the PlayStation brand. The show is recorded in front of a live chat audience at video.theplaystationshow.com, where it can be heard around 8 pm est every Saturday night. The podcast has been known to take some twists and turns into the realm of politics.
The PlayStation Show is very focused on its community and encourages listeners to be apart of the show by emailing, chatting and occasionally calling into the podcast. EmilioZ, BSmith, MattL, and AustinD are the main hosts of the show and have assembled what some might call the ‘Dream Team’ of podcasting.
History
The PlayStation Show is the brain child of Emilio Z. He was a community member of the now defunct All Games Interactive Podcast, which was a video game podcast that streamed live daily. When AGI stopped broadcasting he made the decision to fill that void with a podcast of his own. Thus The PlayStation Show was born.
Podcast
The PlayStation Show Podcast covers the PlayStation side of the gaming industry. The show is broken down into the following segments:
- Intro to the show – This includes welcoming new members, community announcements, and general banter
- XMedia Minute – Where the hosts break down the new and notable PSN releases for that week, and then talk about the games they’ve played
- Break Music – which tend to be some song that was either referenced or in the theme of the first half of the show
- News – On occasion TPSS will discuss the headlines in the gaming industry. Since ediddy999 gathers the news it usually ends up being about new PSP firmware or a top 10 list of some sort
- Community Topic – This segment is a go to topic when the mailbag is lite. BSmith3258 posts a question or idea to the community in the forums and the hosts then talk about it during the show. This long and drawn out segment was laid to rest in late 2009, but was resurrected in early 2010 as a plan B.
- Mailbag – Introduced in late 2009 this is the one sure way the listeners can interact with the hosts. By sending an email to mailbag@theplaystationshow.com the hosts are placed reading awkward messages that usually make BSmith cringe. Confusing Cat, a member of the community, usually attempts to derail the show by sending constant one line emails that are . . . confusing.
- Chat Roll Call – In-part tribute to AGI, TPSS reads the names of the chatters at the end of each show. From day one chatters have changed their names at the end of each show to make BSmith squirm.
- Ending Music – Usually something related to what was said during the podcast.
