Great Award-Nominated Show
This is a great live show, and transitions very well to a recorded podcast with great editing and an excellent choice of music. Kole is very well spoken, and makes conversations about video games and the culture easy to listen to and enjoy. I really hope that he pursues this outside of college, and will continue to do podcasts in the future. Hit the subscribe button now!
