  • The best video games pod out there - comfortably!

    A combination of Jordan, Andy & Chris (and sometimes special guests) walk you through the main talking points in the video games world. Not only is this great if you want to keep up with what is happening, but it’s done with a tonne of humour and fun. Definitely a weekly highlight, not to be missed if you love video games.

    Very entertaining weekly podcast.

    Come for the are video games news and opinions but stay for the strangely moreish chat on energy drinks and Celtic ‘legends’ of yesteryear.

    East End London meets Scotland, like Pie and Mash drizzled in Paisley Sauce.
