Description
VGBS (Video Game Bullshit) is a video game podcast that’s been running for over 15 years. It began with hardcore collectors Kyle Gilbert and Jeffrey Wittenhagen BS’ing about all things gaming, from retro classics to modern releases. Today, Jeff is joined by gaming experts and creators from around the world for deep dives, interviews, convention panels, and the weekly BS Homework game. At its core, VGBS is about nostalgia, collecting, and preserving physical media.
RIP Brother Kyle.
