POP Ep.116: End of an era, start of another (Voicemail line: 713-893-8069)
b'No game talk this week. Instead, we dedicate the whole episode to talking about EGM\'s closure and the 1UP layoffs in the wake of Hearst/UGO\'s purchase of 1UP.com. In addition to regular hosts Chris "CJ" Johnston (ex-EGM News Editor) and Phil Theobald (ex-EGM editor and former GameNow Reviews Editor), we welcome a couple more ex-Ziff guests to the program: Kevin Gifford (ex-1UP editor and gaming magazine expert/Magweasel), Greg Sewart (ex-EGM Previews and Reviews Editor), Greg Ford (EGM Managing Editor), and Andrew "Skip" Pfister (ex-EGMer, GMRer and 1UP.com Reviews Editor/Podcast Producer).
Thanks for listening! You can leave us a voicemail comment by calling 713-893-8069 or you can send a comment via MP3 to our email address, playeronepodcast@gmail.com. Don\'t forget to join our forums if you haven\'t already!
