I am proud to be able to present to you the first episode of Bit Transmission, a new podcast featuring two of Destructoid's most interesting editors, Jonathan Holmes and Colette Bennett. I'm also on there as well.
In this episode, we spend some time talking about Bioshock 2 and a couple of the latest WiiWare releases. The second half of the episode has us discussing the changing role of mascot characters in games and how the games industry tries to build our attachment to the games we play.
In future episodes, we'll be tackling a wide variety of topics both old and new to gamers. We're going to try and get some interviews with interesting members of the industry and, of course, we'll want to hear from all of you.
For now, please enjoy our debut. We're very excited about the new show and are looking forward to bringing it to you. You can subscribe to the podcast by visiting the website or click this link to get the straight feed. If you dig it -- or hate it -- you can e-mail us at bits (at) bittransmission.com. And you may want to follow us on Twitter (@bittransmission) where we're planning some fun stuff as well.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

This Podcast is goooood, but it needs to be longer.
Thank you SO much, guys. <3
Downloading now!
iTunes takes five or six episodes and, while were on the same feed (iTunes may be giving you BT through a RFGO subscription), we'll be submitting the show to them once we reach the requisite number.
@imagenarythomas: The game is Tomena Sanner. It's also crazy, crazy fun.
@wandering pixel: Future episodes will be longer. We're aiming for a sixty minute show, but that includes all of you as well. A listener mail segment will make up the final third of the show going forward.
That is all.
Downloading now :)
