Like Donkey Kong? Like Rare? Are you fucking pumped for Playtonic's upcoming game? Even if you answered no to one or all of those questions, I hope you'll stick with me. The Kongversation is a kongconversational podcast about the greater Donkey Kong Universe run by DK Vine's own Emmy-winning founders, Hyle "Slush" Russell and Chad "Charles Chadwick" McCanna. If you're like the majority of the human population, you probably have to clue what the hell the DKU is. It's actually quite simply, the DKU covers Rare's Donkey Kong and its various spin-offs, like Banjo and Conker. See, even if you're not a big fan of Rare, the Kongversation is, to put it elegantly, fucking hilarious. Truthfully, there's a large portion of nearly every episode where Hyle and Chad(and sometimes Joe, Matt, Alastair, Jeff, and very rarely Cameron) aren't even on topic. To many, these tangents are the the heart of the show. The Beatles, The X-Files, various incarnations of The Tonight Show, various sitcoms, and American politicians of yesteryear are the typical tangential topics. If you are a fan of Rare, then boy, are you in for a treat. The Kongversation is the best active Donkey Kong-themed conversational podcast you'll find, although I consider the best overall (vaguely)DK-themed cast to be The Vine Audio Programme, which is also done by the folks at DK Vine and has been inactive for the better part of three years. Why am I posting this now? Well, mysterious section of my inner-psyche that keeps asking questions that conveniently set up the active portion of my brain for the next thing I want to talk about, tomorrow is a big day for the podcast. Remember when I mentioned Playtonic? I'm glad you do, because legendary Rare veteran and current Playtonic wizard Chris Sutherland is going to be the guest of honor on tomorrow's show. There's a damn good bet that some juicy information about Project Ukulele will be given during the podcast, not to mention other fun facts of Rareware past! If that juicy information isn't something you fancy, you'll be happy to find discussion of Tropical Freeze's Juicy Jungle in various other episodes. Joking aside, the show is bound to be fucking sweet. Interested?
