Each episode is intended to be between thirty minutes to one hour; just enough time to listen to while you're on a lunch break, your commute, or while you're at the gym. So whether you're a hardcore geek or just getting into the nerd culture, join us every Monday at 12pm EST on your favorite podcasting app. Enjoy the show and as I alway like to say...Keep Gaming!
