Episode 160: Originally Published May 10th 2012 Guest: Sarah Quillian In this episode, Tony and I were bowled over to chat with Sarah Quillian (Now Sarah Scott but better known as Adella) one of the most significant and stunning faces of cosplay. As it turned out she is even nicer and more fun than she is beautiful and had a metric ton of stories to tell about her adventures creating dresses and costumes in loving accuracy to Disney,...

Digital Cowboys 193: The 20 Lamest Video Game Characters

Posted By Alex Shaw on Jan 9, 2014

Episode 193: Originally published March 4th 2011. While Digital Gonzo is on hiatus rather than leaving you folks with empty iPods I’m going to be periodically releasing episodes from my first podcast; Digital Cowboys, which ran for 209 episodes from 2007-2011. This gives me a rather splendid backlog of some frequently excellent shows to reintroduce to newcomers and remind long-time fans of this work that myself and my co-host...

Digital Cowboys 164: Legends of Zelda

Posted By Alex Shaw on Jan 8, 2014

Episode 164: Originally published July 16th 2010. Maybe the best of the Digital Cowboys episodes. This is all about Zelda through the years, covering every game and it comprises extracts from many, many interviews with podcasters and the DC community. What comes across is a very special game series. There is a justified reason why Nintendo releases these games in gold boxes and treats the moment as a major event. It’s difficult...

Digital Cowboys 206: E3 2011 [The Dream]

Posted By Alex Shaw on Jun 1, 2011

This episode was one of the more unusual and interesting experiments in the DC lifespan. Tony and I brought in Steve Ridley of the Monkey Chunk Show, Leah Haydu of Some Other Castle and Michael Fox of Joypod a few days before E3 and we made up a show on the spot. We talked about the press conferences as though they had already happened and released this episode before the actual event, generating a great deal of confusion and grins....
