So a lot of people talk about games. Pretty much every major site has their own (or several) podcasts, as well as myriad other series that cover games in various fashions and forms. While learning about the site-related ones is usually easy, exploring beyond those can be quite a task (as the many gaming podcasts recommendations threads indicate)
So I hope this thread can help with that search, as well as offer a place to discuss and share new or more obscure gaming podcasts worth checking out, that may not have the community to support an individual OT but still deserve some attention. Some may be ongoing and current, some may be short-lived or discontinued, but all offer interesting game-related listening
Edit: feel free to share your own series here. Outside of certain subreddits, it can be hard to learn about podcasts not affiliated with major sites, so no worries, it's cool to post about your own
