Ash sits down with a man who has worn many hats through his career and leapt around many a stage:
He is a comedian, television host, author, filth monger, lighthouse keeper and a sexy dungeon Daddy...
his name is John, and he is very loud.

Translated:
Very good very good! It's time to travel back to 1984 and play The Adventure Game where Janet Fielding, Neil Adams and Nigel Crocket try to float an egg, find the F key, appease a sentient pot plant and avoid the amorous tongue of a salamander. Dronga, Dronga, Rangdo indeed!

One from the vaults, as Luke and Ash have some Sonic Baja Mountain Dew Christmas Blast shoved violently into their eye sockets:
Merry Christmas one and all! And we hope you have an EXTREMELY special Christmas, or should that be BLASTLY special Christmas? Either way, we're sorry you have to listen to this.

Under Consoletation Bonus Level: Captain N: The Games Master S01E01
Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast
11/16/23 • 97 min
Back in the summer of 2022, Ash invited Cliff to record an episode of UCP Extra in the midst of an insane heatwave. The sweaty, sweary and chaotic mess is now available for the first time in public:
Whilst Luke is away, Ash will play... Nintendo! Except not Nintendo, because that would be product placement and that's a big no-no now.
So whilst covering this piece of entertainment that is absolutely not trying to sell ANYTHING... who will be his Player 2? Who or what will the ULTIMATE warp zone gift him for company? Will they be over? Tune in and find out as he tackles the Wish.com gaming variants that populate the world of Captain N: The Games Master!

Under Consoletation Bonus Level: Doctor Who - Dimensions in Time (1993)
Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast
11/30/23 • 93 min
We could have covered The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, Silver Nemesis, Scream of the Shalka OR The Day of the Doctor to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of a television legend... BUT NO! Suffering is Art and Art is Suffering so Ash made Cliff watch the 1993 Children in Need Eastenders X Doctor Who mashup 'Dimensions in Time'. 5 Doctors, 12 Companions, 13 EastEnders... 0 coherent plot.

Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
UCP 1.0 ran from 2020 to 2023, and was a retrospective looking back at every single episode of the UK TV Show Games Master, some of it's peers and pretenders, as well as the 2020's reboot. When we reached the end of our original mission brief we retooled, brought in new blood and expanded our remit to Video Game based Television from around the WORLD! All of these answers are being written by Ash Versus, by the way.
What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?
Knowledge and understanding how games and gaming is presented from around the world and throughout the past 40+ years. From Japanese shows such as GameCenter CX, to Australia and Game On, to the totally bodacious early 90s content from the USA and beyond. Every episode will contain a blow by blow analysis, information on the games played, the shows history and more. Wherever possible we will also provide a watch link so you can check out the subject matter at your own pace.
Which episode should someone start with?
Start with Series 2 Episode 1! This feed is relatively fresh as of time of writing and kicks off with a trip to the other side of the world and a show that has been running for 20+ years!
Which have been your favourite episodes so far?
From my perspective (Ash) it'd have to be the John Robertson Interview.
Which episode are you most proud of?
The first episode of the reboot (GameCenter CX), because it was such a departure from previous subjects and required a very different approach to the research
What is your vision for your show?
To build on our existing audience, make new friends and raise awareness of shows from around the world, especially shows that are not native English language.
What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?
Probably CheapShow, tied with We Hate Movies.
How did you come up with the name for your podcast?
In GamesMaster you had 'The Consoletation Zone' for information, hints and cheats, so 'Under Consoletation' made a good play on words. It's become our brand so stays with us beyond the original mission brief!
Tell us a bit about yourself
My name is Ash, I have been an internet broadcaster since 2005, and specifically a podcaster since 2010. Under Consoletation has been the longest running podcast I've been involved in and also the most consistent, releasing episodes weekly between 2020 and 2023, and fortnightly from 2024 onwards. I am also a Twitch streamer, looking to see if there's room in that space for someone north of 40 who is an average gamer with more bad jokes and puns than is entirely healthy.
