The Game Junction Podcast

Prepare for a whirlwind tour through the gaming cosmos as we embark on a journey across the emotional spectrum of the industry. From paying homage to the legendary Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama to delving into the legal battles over emulator development, we're serving up a slice of everything the gaming world has to offer.
