An Interview With Jeff Gerstmann
Droll | 8:14 PM on 12.08.2008 3 comments


Over on Giant Bomb, I host Bomb Should Have A Face, Giant Bomb's Officially Official Community Podcast(an idea I literally stole from the fine guys on the Failcast). Unlike other game podcasts, which are more focused on news, Bomb Should Have A Face is all about the Giant Bomb community; we're pimping the best blogs written during the week( another feature I borrowed from Destructoid, since I love the way every Blog on the site can be viewed by every user from the community tab) talk about the best Wiki pages and guides written, point out the most interesting forum posts, and talk about the continued changes, upgrades, and features being added to Giant Bomb every week(the site engineers tend to add small features every week, rather than have big updates spread apart.

Sometimes, however, we have the pleasure of talking to the fine cats who RUN Giant Bomb, and this week the BSHAF crew had the pleasure of interviewing Jeff Gerstmann, Co-Founder/CEOditor of Giant Bomb. Normally, I wouldn't cross post these podcasts(since they're so specific to Giant Bomb and the Giant Bomb Community), but this episode is more of a profile on the year of Giant Bomb; what it's like to start a small website again, how to focus interviews on gaming history(rather than pimping a product), and why so many journalists in gaming are romanticized and idolized!

I'm the awkward, nasally, prepubescent sounding host of the BSHAF. I go by Matt Bodega


Hope you enjoy the show!
