I could talk about how great Octodad is for an entire podcast.

It'd be hard for it not to descend into a console debate

Depends who you put on.
I imagine E92_ would be pretty balanced despite the fact he is pretty pro microsoft, I'm sure there are some PS4 owners that would fit that bill as well.

HBK fits that bill.

No offence to him but would like it to be regulars on this board. His post today was his first for several years on this board.
It shouldn't be that hard.

I didn't listen.
Format should be fairly simple though.

As Cory said earlier, we attempted to get a podcast going a fair while back behind the scenes. We had a format, a script (for the news segment) and a good system to work off.
I prefer the Giant Bombcast in terms of gaming podcasts. Granted, I don't listen to any outside them, but I feel they have the perfect system of waffling on to stories to feedback/emails.
The format was going to be along the lines of:
Intro - Welcoming listeners/introducing regulars/guests
Roundtable - Where everyone talks about what they've been playing in the past week/month. As well as talk about the biggest recent games. This section would take up the most time.
News - Generally trying to cover all systems with about 5 major stories of the past month or so, have a couple of people discuss this rather than an all in.
Game Announcements - Any new titles announced over the past few months, talk a little bit about them.
End.
But yeah, we couldn't get anyone to really commit and when they did, they backed out at the last minute. So it never went ahead.

Sounds a lot like the IGN Pubcast except they have a mailbag at the end.
We currently run with the format of:
General discussion of what the team have been playing.
Review chosen classic game - Usually provides interesting discussion due to varying levels of nostalgia from the team.
Review chosen current game.
Preview future game - Excitement levels, where it can go wrong, why we are interested etc.
This has been working well for us so far.

It's okay, nothing fantastic, I appreciate the references to Amazing though.
I'm only speaking for myself but I'm going to be more inclined to listen if it is a podcast fronted by regulars from this board.
i'd give it a listen. i subscribe to a bunch of gaming podcasts but i'm pretty particular about the ones i listen to (bombcast, idle thumbs, player one, 8-4play, radio free nintendo, gamers with jobs) as i listen more for the entertainment/humor aspect than specifically for gaming news/insights.
