You know...I noticed this in Angry Joe's Grey Goo preview; South African. Those are South African (or thereabouts) accents. Not Aussie. Sorry, that was just bugging me.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I had to be sure before I poked my head in here. You are 100% correct. I confirmed that they are, in fact, South African accents. I've only ever personally known one gentleman from SA, and his accent was as British as it gets for some reason, so I didn't even consider this possibility during the discussion.
I do appreciate the correction, though, because I would have felt particularly silly if that error made it into my review! (Which should be coming up tomorrow. Finally.)

This seems very disappointing news. I loved the TV & movie podcast + Science podcast & now they are been scraped, coming on top of the loss of Jim & the scaling back of reviews means there is a lot less content.
To you and everybody else lamenting the loss of the other podcasts, I just want to apologize. I knew it wouldn't be to everybody's liking, but I firmly believe that it's the best decision for The Escapist. I still think that it's going to be a positive change in the long run, but I understand where you're coming from.
Rest assured, we have every intention of continuing to cover topics from every channel, including some of your favorite people that frequented the channelcasts. We won't be hitting every channel every week, but this isn't just going to be a Video Games-only podcast like we did before the channelcasts. You might see a bit of a gaming bent, but we will absolutely cover other topics.
With that in mind, if there's something in particular you'd like us to discuss from any of the channels, or if you'd like to pose some questions, please do reach out to us at Podcast [at] escapistmag.com and we'll be happy to consider including it in our next cast! Alternately, just hit me up on Twitter. I'm @encaen and I do enjoy a good 140-character conversation!
