Can you believe that we are more than a month out from CGC 2025? Yeah, fellow nerds...time is a wild thing. Regardless, let's celebrate this year's CGC, talk behind the scenes stories and maybe hint at some future things to come to the Cleveland Gaming Classic. Join the full CGC show running team (that's right we welcome back show legend Kathleen to pod) for a hour of fellowship with the greatest gaming show in the 'land!

This is an audio playback of our YouTube VOD of the panel of the same name. Feel free to watch that on YouTube or enjoy a second look at this amazing panel!

A 'Rare' opportunity was bestowed upon the CGC stage this year! Come watch the epic moment where the creators of some of your favorite games (Donkey Kong Country, Battletoads, Goldeneye and more) take the stage to field the CGC community questions. Truly a moment worthy of collecting some bananas and jiggies!

A sincere thanks to our special guests: Steven Mayles, Kevin Bayliss and Grant Kirkhope.

Can you believe it? Two full seasons of CGP comes to fruition in this season 2 finale. As we say, the show is about the fans and guests of the show and this episode we really get to show what that means. In this episode, we bring on two of CGC's kid super fans and friends of the show to gab about games, bring our first 6-7 reference to CGP and have a pretty epic kids v adults end of episode competition. It's the week of CGC... consider this your notice to get amped!

What happens when your guest you reach out to for guesting on an episode says "how bout tonight?"...you get this gem of an episode. Guest of CGC and returning talent Kevin Cabarello comes on CGP to recap 2024, get his pick for best retro game of all time and announces his gaming plan for his show this year. All we have to say is that it will make you shout "Yahoo!"

The 'land is on full display in this episode. This week Tom and Cory are joined by CGC alumni Tristan Wheeler, paragon of Cleveland gaming and head of Infiniteque: a Cleveland based philanthropic group providing gaming, tech and empowerment to the Northeast Ohio community. As our episode turns, the team dives deep into the mission of Infiniteque, the history of retro arcade gaming and a critical eye on some hot takes in the gaming 'verse. A great episode to dive deep into with us.
