This is the very first episode of a new podcast series dedicated to gaming and technology known as the ‘Game & Gadget Podcast’. For our first episode, we are covering the recent announcement of the new Xbox One console revealed by Microsoft.

It is my aim to have a bunch of guests from various gaming and technology websites within each episode, discussing the latest developments while dipping into retro nostalgia.

For our first edition, please welcome Marty Greenwell – writer, editor and new podcast host at ConsoleMonster.com, Peter Willington – Handheld Editor & Community Manager at PocketGamer.co.uk and Ken Barnes – Editor at PureXbox.com.
