I have enjoyed every Sparkast 343i has released, and am eagerly anticipating the next. Here’s the thing, though: Why is it so hard to find?
I know it’s available on iTunes, but there is no way on this earth that I am going to have iTunes on my computer. Why isn’t the entire 343 Sparkast run featured on Waypoint? One page with direct download links, that’s all I ask.
If Waypoint is supposed to be the go-to destination for Halo content, well… shouldn’t it be the go-to destination for Halo content? Again and again external websites and services get content early; the latest ViDoc just recently being a prime example. Fans shouldn’t have to run around the internet seeking out information, Waypoint should be the only place I need to go to get my Halo content quota. Obviously I’m not saying content should be EXCLUSIVE to Waypoint, but if it’s anywhere it should be here. The Game (Mis)Informer article is a great example of how an exclusive preview led to 343i having to run damage control on bad information, or having to spend most of a podcast setting the record straight; a podcast that is virtually impossible to find.
I have a few friends that I want to introduce to the 343 Sparkast. It’s absurd the hoops they have to jump through to find it. Just Google “343 Sparkast”. After iTunes, the next restult is the 13th episode. And it’s a random blog post. I know I’m rambling a bit here, but please, just give us a clean page with each and every Sparkast in order with download links.

This probably doesn’t fit your exact specifications, but here is the podcast page on our website. I agree we need a prettier, more accessible page, and hopefully we’ll get one at some point.

Thank you for the response. Rereading my post, I realize I was overly aggressive and a bit rude, and I’m sorry for that. All I can say is that any frustrations I have with Waypoint are due to just how excited I am with what you guys and gals are doing with the Halo franchise.
A dedicated page to the podcasts would be fantastic, and thanks again for addressing my post. I can’t imagine the kind of crap you have to sift through every day! Hang in there!
> > Dude, thank you! That’s awesome. It’s just a shame that a user has to do what should be a basic feature of Halo Waypoint.
