What is One-Quest? Who’s behind it? What can you hope to get out of it? those are all fair questions that no one will ever wonder, but if you keep reading you’re probably going to find out anyway!
Want to tell us something? Head over to our
Well I thought that was obvious, we’re a website, but mostly a Podcast.
If you meant what kind of website, or what do we do? well, you should have said so.
One-Quest started in 2012 as a blog about all things nerdy and geeky, and a creative outlet for a group of nerds. We wrote about video games, comic books, movies, television, food, and so many other things.
Since 2014 we’ve been dabbling in podcasting, including our Flagship show, PodQuest going up each and every week (With only a few missed). After we launched PodQuest, we began to pull back from the written blog content and focused on our audio offerings. At a time, we had several shows running including ‘Rasslin Report and That’s Not What Happened. Right now those shows are defunct, but the episodes still exist if you want to check them out! And hey if you like what you hear let us know and maybe we’ll bring them back!
How’s that for an answer? NEXT!
Well most of us have been friends since elementary school and high school. With a few stragglers joining later. Anyway we always tried to get sites like this started and usually failed. Finally after years of failure and heartbreak Eric brought it up once again and spelled out his ideas for the worlds greatest website! Unfortunately this is all we could really come up with. But it’s something right? For the most part the idea for One-Quest evolved from Eric and Shahid’s desire to develop games along with Eric’s desire to create Webcomics. Eric told the rest of us and the idea started to become a reality.
After a lot of talk Eric and Chris began to design the site and after a few weeks of Photoshop and code the first iteration of One-Quest was born, and it looked terrible! But it served its purpose we were able to put up the stuff we wanted to, in a way we wanted to. After several months of posting all kinds of fun content we finally had a real design thanks to a friend and former co-worker. A few weeks after that we went live with our all new layout and kept cranking out that content.
As time moved on, we had one more redesign that Chris worked on and that’s the one you’re seeing today. And as we mentioned before, in 2014 we started moving away from the written content and started publishing out weekly show PodQuest on all your favorite Podcast platforms.
You know that is a completely valid question. There are so many wonderful podcasts and content creators out there talking about all the same stuff we are, what sets us apart? Well one thing is longevity. One-Quest has been around since 2012 and PodQuest since 2014. We didn’t just start doing this, and while there are a lot of other podcast with that sort of history, we still think we have something special. Every so often we try to shake things up and try different formats for one. After years of going over weekly news and honestly feeling a little burned out on that, we decided to scrape it and make the show more conversational.
Rather than just repeating news from around the internet, we’re talking about the things we’re doing and passionate about. When there’s a big story or event we’re giving it the time it deserves, and we’re starting to get our audience involved with what we’re talking about.
Over on our Patreon page (Sorry for the plug!) we’re giving patrons the chance to both recommend discussion topics and vote on which ones get used in the show!
That’s kind of a long winded way to just say, give us a chance. Head over to our Podcasts page and give the first episode a listen to. If you like it great, come join us weekly. If not, no hard feelings, I’m sure there’s a whole slew of shows out there for you to love!
