A couple times a week, Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade record
the brainstorming session that results in that day's webcombic. When the process leading up to that comic was
funny and/or interesting enough, they release the audio as "Downloadable Content," the official name of their
podcast series.
Downloadable Content is, in my opinion, a real diamond in the midst of this all-too-rough information superhighway
that we call home. Unfortunately, many gamers (even those who are fans of PA or Gabe and Tycho's humor in general)
are scared off by the 45 minute runtime for an average podcast. That's where this site comes in- my goal is to deliver
the best of Downloadable Contest in easy to swallow segmented format, so that people will be able to stream a quick mp3
or video and decide for themselves whether the complete versions of these Penny Arcade Podcasts are going to be
worth their time.
Hopefully this grand experiment will result in the creation of many new Downloadable Content fans and
subscribers... and if not, oh well, these segments are funny enough to stand on their own regardless!
