Jump & Shoot: A Gaming Podcast
47 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsOriginally envisioned as a Mega Man-branded conversational platform, Jump & Shoot is now a gaming podcast with a focus on JRPGs, action-platformers, games of the 16-bit era, and any other passing topic that piques the interest of host Joey Agliata.
Other auxiliary topics include beginner's primers on series, nostalgic recollections, critical analyses, reviews, and previews. Jump & Shoot hopes to appeal to causal, midcore, and hardcore audiences—while always harboring a stark adversity to the implications of the word "gamer."
Jump & Shoot is presented in two forms: 1.) “Regular,” produced episodes that follow the general flow of any other gaming podcast, and 2.) Live-streamed, audio-on-demand episodes that follow a loose topic and are more like average discussions—these are branded as the “Sidequests” series.
