When did you start listening to the podcast?

This thread is for reminiscing. How did you discover the Drunk Tank podcast?

Here's my story:

In December 2008, I got in to a film festival in Austin you may have heard about on the podcast called BNAT. While I was down there I thought I might as well visit the RT office. Despite being really b...

I have always been an RT fan, but I stumbled across the podcast on the site when I moved to Texas around June 2011. I haven't missed a podcast yet, and I have since heard all the ones I missed.

I started listening to the podcast, just recently about two months ago. To be honest I never really had any interest in podcasts before. It seemed to me like they were just people rambling on about bullshit politics or mainstream crap games and music. I never imagined, to be brutally honest, that I would get so attached, to the point of constantly updating the feed on my phone every Wednesday until this podcast would come out just to listen to a bunch of, half the time, drunk idiots bitching and laughing and just plain having such a great time together. It's the highlight of my summer so far seeing as I'm a student working through a shit summer job acting as a mock "daytime" super in an apartment building complex, under the supervision of a complete asshat who takes half the morning complaining about the five seconds past your start time you came in and the other half screwing in a towel rack only to leave early for lunch while he tells you to work through yours doing his job as he comes back and stares over your shoulder until it's exactly time to leave for the day, and only then are you allowed to go. If any of the cast & crew of this beloved website happen to read this, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for being the escape from that hellhole of a job, the noise cancelling headphones that keep me from strangling that bastard. I never knew what I wanted to go to school for, or what I'd want to do as a career, but as I labour through this shit summer job, I tend to daydream of working for a company like RT. Maybe, switch majors and go into game design or animation. From the point of view of a kid confused about his future, unsure of what's going to happen next, your shorts, podcasts, community, and everything else tend to make it all seem a bit brighter. I've been a fan of RT ever since I first stumbled upon RvB back when you had just released episode...fuck if I can remember it was the story arc of the BloodGulch Chronicles where you were switching over to Halo 3 and now I've become a fan of your pobcasts. I'm sure I'll become a loyal fan of anything else RT creates, thank you.

It took the better half of the evening to work up the courage to actually hit "submit". So I'd prefer not to be told otherwise, please.

Started listening about 4 months ago after I realised that podcast was where the animated shorts came from! Realised what I'd been missing so went back to podcast #1 and have been listening to roughly 3 episodes a day. It's kind of nostalgic hearing about "upcoming" games and events, and also seeing exactly how right or wrong the RT team were about iPhone4, Kinect etc! It's all I've been listening to on my commute to and from work. I figure I'll finish all of them by early 2013. Very concerned about having to go back to waiting for a weekly fix though.

A few months ago my friend showed me the RT Animated Adventures and I was curious, so I looked it up on iTunes and have since downloaded all of them and I am slowly working my way through them. They are hilarious!!

I wish my story was a cool as some of yours, but it really isn't... here it is anyway!

For quite a while I'd seen Gus posting on the homepage about the podcast and always thought "hmm.. I don't have an mp3 player or ipod, so I can't listen to it" [how very foolish I was in my youth].

To cut a long story short, I saw Gus post about a video podcast (around 100 I believe) which grabbed my interest, and since then I've seen/listened to each and every one of them, many times over.

If it hadn't been for that first video podcast I may never have discovered the hilarity and been able to use the classic line of "I know of a guy who..." when telling stories.

Same here, but for me it was Podcast 119. Joel's story about snakes got me instantly hooked.

^ Nice name :)

I started listening to the podcast with my boyfriend a year or so ago. He showed me a few of the animated adventures and I had to hear the full stories surrounding them. About two months ago, I loaded them all on my IPod and while working (I cut fruit all alone in a cold prep room, so it get's REAL boring) I have been listening to them from #1. I am listening to #102 right now and love hearing the progression of the company and of course, Gus and Jack :) .

I'm the same way about not wanting to wait. We have new podcasts on demand at any time right now, but there will come a day we only have one a week :(. I'm the same way with shows I watch (Breaking Bad is KILLING me!!)

I would estimate I started watching to it about 8 months ago in December, during my Summer holidays (I live in Australia)
I was going through Rooster Teeth shorts when I noticed filmed episodes of the drunk tank and watched them all over about two days. Now I keep up with the weekly Rooster Teeth podcast release.

I think it was a few months back when I heared of Rage Quit via the GameStation Podcast. A few days later I heard about the podcast and now I can't help but get excited every thursday as the podcast then gets available for me to listen to (as I live in the Netherlands). Still got soo many to listen to. Gonna have a great time!

I started listening to the podcast about one year ago at 130. It immediately became my favorite podcast. It was the podcast that i never forgot to download. I backtracked to 100 after i had seen the video podcast episodes online, but going through 100 podcasts that were dated seemed daunting. I recently started from podcast 1 and am now up to 80, and its amazing to see how much the company, community, podcast, and red vs blue has grown. Plus every podcast was funny as hell. Rooster Teeth has won the internet. Burnie Burns is a Legend.

I started listening back around Podcast # 34 I think. my friend pointed it out to me and I was listening ever since then. many times each. Geoff needs to get back on the podcast. It is really missing something when his sarcastic commentary is absent.
