I just thought, maybe a community spotlight segment on the bombcast that highlights a user on the website
Highlight users that make lots of contributions, have a unique reviewing style or unique blog.
Or just all in all do something that makes them stand-out.
This has probably been suggested before, but food for thought nonetheless.

Yeah it has actually. It is a nice idea, but there is a community podcast I believe made by some users.

The bombcast is already 2+ hours long and you're suggesting a new segment? K.

Bomb Should Have A Face. They are on iTunes. You can also find the podcast on MattBodega's blog posts on his profile. It's very good.

I think they should have a favorite page of the week or something like that.

And it never stops being entertaining at 2+ hours.  I always get bummed out when it's over."
Same here and I dont think a little community segment would take up that much time

We've kind of been wanting that for a while. Even just a little mention, like blog post of the week or thread of the week. Just something.

I like the bombcast because its so casual, its not like other podcasts where its devided into specific parts and each part has to go a certain time e.g
with the bomb cast its 4 guys talking about games. thats it, they answer some emails and share their thoughts. thats it

They do have specific parts. Although there is no set time for each segment, it pretty much goes "What you are playing" > "News" > "Emails". If they have something to talk about it will come up in the any of the sections. Also I do not believe other podcasts really have a set time for each segment. All the ones I listen to, they talk about something, move on, and when they are out of topics they stop.

As for the Community Spotlight thing, Brad did a sweet article about a bunch of user reviews for games they didn't have the time to review. HERE is the link if you want to read up on it.

Have listened to it in a while, just got bummed when they took 5 minutes to give absolutely everyone a shout out and forgot me =(. lol.

But on topic, yes its a great idea. Imagine the awesome feeling of getting a shout out by the G-Man himself :D
