VGO has been churning out stupidity and gaming since 2004, making it one of the longest running podcasts of all time. Hosts John “John’s Arcade” Jacobson, and comedy creator Michelle Madison, explore all things gaming from console to PC, with a healthy dose of random insanity in between. Live every Tuesday, VGO is home to a unique community who participates in the shows via listener voicemail (call 1-520-FEEL-VGO), the IRC chat room, and their often totally worthless tweets.

John needs to calm down

I’ve listened to this show off and on for a few years. Every time I stop it’s because John is just too much. I like the discussions but he talks over everyone else all the time. His bits last way too long. The first 15 minutes of the Halloween episode is the most skippable radio I have ever heard. Matt talks about feelings too much

Solid Podcast for Honest takes

I have listened to this podcast for a couple years and they have become the main source of reviews that I trust. I don’t always agree with their opinions but I respect that they give honest takes that fold into todays reactionary gaming culture. All three play off each other very well and it has a bunch of funny moments. This podcast is something I look forward to every week and I would highly recommend it. Also John fess up to the stupid smoke detector alarm, we all know it was you.

I’m in

Been a loyal listener for years and love all the bickering and console hate on top of Michelle’s constant talk about everything being woke!
