                  It’s time for a celebration because India’s first gaming podcast – the IVG Podcast – has reached a milestone of 50 episodes. What’s really incredible about it thought is that it’s taken us more than 12 years to reach this landmark.

                  From being called the GI Podcast to the IVG Podcast – and briefly even the Third World Gamers' Podcast – the last 50 episodes have been quite a journey through the history of gaming in India, but as we always do, it’s time to look ahead.

                  • IVG Podcast 49 - 343 Fall Guys

                    Just one to go before the big five-o and there was a lot to cover in this episode of the IVG Podcast:

                    • Month two of the IVG Community Showcase
