Pokémon Monday was a Pokémon-centric podcast that was hosted by various editors of GamesRadar, mainly Carolyn Gudmundson. The podcast originally debuted on May 24, 2010 and was known to Pokémon fans as being the first Pokémon fan podcast that was hosted, run, and published by the staff of a larger website with a general audience (i.e. video gaming-focused site, GamesRadar), rather than fans running their own podcast with or without an affiliated fansite. The podcast gets its name from Pokémon Sunday (now Pokémon Smash!).
The podcast had a mixed reception in the fandom; criticism of the podcast included the hosts' supposed lack of knowledge and certainty of Pokémon news and information, lack of enthusiasm towards Pokémon between the hosts, the hosts often going off-topic, and main hostess Gudmundson's distinctly quiet and raspy voice. Nevertheless, it was popular among Pokémon fans, probably due to its unique status of being under a large, video gaming-focused website. Steve Black Jr. of It's Super Effective has stated that Monday was an inspiration to him for starting his own Pokémon podcast.
