Great concept + Show

I love listening to the show on the way to work.
Even though I’m an avid gamer and am on my phone 24/7 - it’s still impossible to catch all the latest news. This does a phenomenal job of bringing the hottest topics in gaming together in a concise & efficient manner, along w/ an interview or two. Keep up the great work!
