Orange Lounge Radio

Orange Lounge Radio is a non-stop 24hr/7day internet radio station dedicated to Video Games. Orange Lounge Radio got it’s start in May of 2002 as an internet radio station originally started to pay tribute to music-based video games such as Dance Dance Revolution, Parappa the Rappa, and Bust a Move. The centerpiece of the live station was a live three-hour talk show on sunday nights. Three avid gamers with varying experience in Radio & Internet Radio sat down to chat about the DDR community. The “feel” of the show was similar to that of a gathering of friends at a diner after a long night of gaming. As the listeners increased, and the arcade community began to cool, Orange Lounge Radio began to slowly expand into areas of other video games. Orange Lounge Radio launched a weekly podcast show in Early January of 2005, making it one of the first video game podcasts available on the internet. The incredible fan community behind Orange Lounge Radio helped it to win the 2005 Podcast Award for best gaming podcast. The podcast has also enjoyed brief media attention locally, and brief features on the iTunes music store and Yahoo! Podcasts. Orange Lounge Radio is hosted by 3 fans of gaming:
