Tired of the shitty things in the game industry? Try listening to two friends talk about the good things in gaming and reminiscing about older games and consoles. Always fun
Video Game Podtimism does that thing that all the bestest podcasts do, and it does it so so right: it makes you feel like you're hanging out with your best friends talking about video games. We're not talking the latest and greatest, however. We're talking about all of those enigmatic "cousin games" from your childhood.
Like any podcast on the TWG network, VGP is also a safe show. No Joe-Rogan-esque garbage here. No problematic takes - except maybe the takes on Family Guy đ - only good vibes.
