The Noob Shelter was accidentally created in 2010 during a broadcast of The Everything Sux Show. During that broadcast, the hosts were trying to come up with a new name to brand the show. Originally The Everything Sux Show was to become The Noob Shelter but after much debate, it was decided by the Fourside Media owner to remove the video game aspect from Everything Sux and integrate it into The Noob Shelter and market it as an independent brand.
Between 2010 and early 2014, The Noob Shelter was built from the ground up and originally started as a Facebook page than a video-based webcast. When interest started to flatline, it was decided to slowly start the rollout of a podcast.
The Noob Shelter focuses on all things gaming as well as some geek chic type discussions. We also talk about up and coming technology as well. Our podcast focuses on roundtable discussion and debate of the latest news within the industries themselves.
The show is currently hosted by Matt Fugitive, Rythone, and Feyd2Black. We broadcast live on Fridays at 9pm Pacific time. The show is transmitted out of Tacoma, Washington and streamed live on our website via caster.fm. Rythone and Feyd2Black both remote in via Skype while Matt is live in the bunker.
All shows are available for listening via your favorite podcast software or here on noobshelter.com.
The Noob Shelter is produced by Fourside Media in Tacoma, Washington.
