It's been awhile since you've heard our dulcet tones. April 2010 marks the last time we've blasted out a podcast for mass earhole consumption. But, I'm not writing this post to lament this little fact. Nah; actually, I'm revved to announce that this long period of unbearable Internet radio silence is over � we're back with a new pod', a new name, and a fresh cast to entertain you. Or tickle you. Or something.

You can grab the podcast on iTunes now (or as soon as iTunes updates our podcast feed, anyway) if you like, or you can download the raw file or stream the new podcast just below via the handy-dandy link. I encourage you to go ahead and subscribe to us if you're going to do the former. We'll be spitting out pods all over the place from that feed. You'll get TouchArcade Show every Friday and fun interviews and other content as well.

In a nutshell, The TouchArcade Show is an offbeat podcast about iOS video games and the staff of this lovely web site. I want to give you more insight into who we are and how that informs our writing. I also want to give you something fun to listen to if you're into new iOS releases, hot iOS scoops, and the occasional phallus, or angry boss joke.

This week's episode, by the way, has a lot of content about fresh releases. The Bearded One, Jared Nelson, talks up Bumpy Road, Touchgrind BMX, and Mos Speedrun. Eli talks about some cat games, and I deliver some details about the new Infinity Blade update and the third episode of Back to the Future.�We also delve into the i3D thing, as well the Minecraft-coming-to-Android story that made the rounds before closing out the hour.

Overall, there's a lot of fun discussion, but we were missing a key component: you. If you'd to give us some feedback � whether it's a question, a comment, a terrible pun, or whatever � throw us an e-mail at podcast@toucharcade.com. You can also reach us via the Twitter and the Facebook, and if that doesn't float your boat, you can also reach us in the comments of this post OR via our phone line. The number is +1-951-922-5582 or 951-9-CALL-TA.

The phone line, actually, is something fun we'd like to focus on in the future. If you're too lazy to write an e-mail, send us a call and we'll play it on the show and then respond to your comment or question. I stress, though, that you need to be using good equipment if you want to be featured in future episodes. We can't just throw up any old .mp3 from someone's jank handset.

So, yeah, feel free tell us what you think, what you'd like us to talk about in the next episode, or give us a question. We welcome it all. Also, enjoy!

Did you find yourself salivating at the massive list of EA sales only to discover that the balance of your iTunes account is 32� short of actually being able to buy anything? Well, the weekend is saved thanks to three generous developers!

geoDefense, Free � I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the geoDefense series of games. If you even are vaguely interested in tower defense games, you need to download this one right away. If you like it, make sure to also snag geoDefense Swarm [$1.99 / Lite]

Gravity Hook HD, Free � From the makers of Canabalt [$2.99], here's a game that asks you to climb high instead of run far. You can also play the free Flash version online, but I'm not sure why you'd bother when this is also free!

Zentomino, Free � Little White Bear Studios is a puzzler with gameplay that's simple enough for kids, while still being capable of stumping adults. 200 levels in all are included, which should keep you busy for hours, days, or potentially even longer. If you like this one, give TanZen [99� / Lite a try as well. (Note: If this isn't showing up for free for you yet, give it a bit.)
