Wavelengths with Brendon Bigley - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I listen to this and 2 of Brendon’s other podcasts (Into the Aether and NPC) and I love how real his podcasting persona is. He’s insightful, funny and smart and I find that I agree with his takes more often than not. I’ve discovered an entire video game franchise that I absolutely love thanks to listening to his podcasts (Trails in the Sky) so if you give him a listen and vibe with him even a little bit, who knows where he might take you. Entertaining, informative and genuinely a great listen.

This is a bizarre one, so stick with me: Yesterday’s ITA included the announcement of this great new show from Brendon which, as a huge fan of the dynamic Aether duo, I was ecstatic to learn about. I listened to the weekly episode of ITA in the morning as my Wednesday routine dictated and planned to listened to Wavelengths in the evening after work. Just after my shift, my partner and I got a call from her brother that he was in a serious car accident. My partner rushed out the door and after securing childcare for our daughter I followed in pursuit. Nerves and anxiety kicked in on the drive to the site of the wreck and I suddenly remembered about my plans to listen to Wavelengths that night. Brendon, having a familiar voice talk about things you are excited about in an industry that is our shared lifelong passion (along with the totally on-brand low fi beats) was incredibly grounding and did wonders to clear my head and prep me to arrive at what was in fact a very stressful situation. More than ever, I appreciate your enthusiasm, relentless pursuit of joy and cups half full, and (for lack of a better phrase) the good vibes you put out into the world. Your efforts are impactful in many people’s lives and especially mine last night. Wavelengths is exactly what you’d expect from one of my two favorite folks in gaming: a joyful and positive review of gaming headlines that shines from an otherwise dark cloud of ranting fans, viewer-hungry journalism giants, and misinformed rumors. Keep up the good work :)

wonderful show for people who want to stay up to date with gaming news but can’t be bothered by the discourse online. brendon knows what he’s talking about and does a great job breaking down the biggest news items into bite sized pieces that are easy to keep up with!

I have been seeking out podcasts here over YouTube to escape the depressing algorithm loops. This guy gives me faith that others are out there sharing things they are passionate about during a depressing time. All the while not being afraid of calling out tech/gaming services you have hesitancy with. Keep it up Brendon, your podcasts make for a better day.
