Videogame podcast that ran on 1up.com from 2009 to 2012

Active Time Babble was 1UP's podcast companion to their RPG blog The Grind. Every fortnight, Kat Bailey, Jeremy Parish, and various guests discuss all manner of role-playing games: console, PC, classic, MMO, pen-and-paper, and more!

Kat really ran this podcast through three stages.


Stage 1 - The Grind Test Episode
This was a single episode on July 16, 2009 that tested the format. This was a one-off companion to the Grind Blog.


Stage 2 - Active Time Babble - Episodes I-XXXIII
This was when Kat worked full time for 1up.com. This started as a companion to the Grind Blog.


Stage 3 - Active Time Babble - Episodes XXX!V-XLII
Kat comes back as a contributor and finishes off the podcast with Jeremy Parish, Bob Mackey, and a selection of other guests.
