If you are in favor of the landscape of gaming discourse getting better/more healthy/more diverse/etc..that begins with you.
So this time of year I like to share the podcasts I listen to that I think epitomize that type of change!
I'll be adding to this list throughout December with all my favs!
That fight was insanely cool. I don't get blown away by spectacle very often anymore, but that one did it.
