Listen to the latest episode

A PC gaming podcast created by community members of the Australian PC gaming enthusiast magazine PCPowerPlay.

New episodes will be released fortnightly. We also bring on different guests from the community each episode to discuss various PC gaming related issues, and just have a bit of a laugh and a good time.

We differ from other PC gaming podcasts because we don't regurgitate lists of industry news bytes - instead we talk about gaming as gamers. Whether it be exploring an issue, delving into gaming culture or just talking about games that are special to us - this is content that you won't find anywhere else.

This podcast is not associated or affiliated with PCPowerPlay in any official capacity. It is the work of community members, and as such our views and opinions do not reflect those of PCPowerPlay staff or Next Publishing.
