Rooster Teeth started almost 20 years ago and two of its creators want to get together every week to talk about their journeys, reminisce, and lament the Austin Texas that used to be. Gustavo Sorola & Geoff Ramsey, two of the masterminds behind hits like Red vs Blue & Achievement Hunter, monetize their conversations for your benefit.
The ANMA podcast is an absolute delight for long-time Rooster Teeth fans and anyone interested in the history of the company. Hosted by Gus Sorola and Geoff Ramsey, two of the original founders of Rooster Teeth, this podcast offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane as they share stories from their early days in Austin. As someone who has been a fan for over a decade, I couldn't be happier with this show. It feels like catching up with old friends and reminiscing about the good old times.
One of the best aspects of The ANMA podcast is the chemistry between Gus and Geoff. Their banter is hilarious, and their friendship shines through in every episode. They have such a rich history together, and it's heartwarming to hear them laugh and joke with each other. The stories they tell are captivating, offering insights into the foundation of Rooster Teeth and what life was like during that time. As a listener, it feels like being part of an intimate conversation between two close friends.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the audio texture from their on-location recordings. It adds an extra layer of immersion as you feel transported to different places in Austin while listening to their stories. It's like taking a virtual tour of the city through their eyes.
However, one downside to this podcast is that some references may not resonate with listeners who are not familiar with Austin or Rooster Teeth. As someone who hasn't been to Austin or experienced its landmarks, I sometimes feel left out when they discuss specific locations or inside jokes related to the city. However, this doesn't detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the show.
In conclusion, The ANMA podcast is a must-listen for any long-time Rooster Teeth fan or anyone interested in learning about the company's early days. Gus and Geoff's storytelling abilities and charming personalities make each episode feel like a cozy catch-up session with old friends. While there may be some references that go over the heads of non-Austin residents, the overall experience is highly engaging and entertaining. I can't recommend this podcast enough for anyone looking for a trip down memory lane or a deeper understanding of Rooster Teeth's roots.
