Dear Listeners,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole evening in front of our microphones for whatever makes you laugh. What we do is fun, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you to watch this show or not. You see is as you want to see it. In the simplest terms. The most convenient definitions.
But what we found out is that this show is about a nerd gamer...
and a dudebro...
and a guitar player with the heart of a drifter...
a cute love interest...
and is a show you should really check out.
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Ganza Club

Monday May 27, 2013
Just a few short weeks after examining the PlayStation 4's moment in the spotlight, it's time for the gang to focus on Microsoft's new system. Will the Ganzoids appreciate the lifesaving heart monitoring capabilities of the Kinect, or will they favor the ultimate laziness of being able to change the channel by speaking? Take THAT, you pesky and cumbersome remote control!

Ep53 - Chuck Wendig: Of Writers and White Wolves

Tuesday May 21, 2013
A wendigo is a malevolent, cannibalistic spirit from Algonquian mythology, known for its ravenous hunger for human flesh. Chuck Wendig is a novelist, screenwriter, and self-described "freelance penmonkey". He has written several novels, and has contributed heavily to the gaming industry, writing for such names as White Wolf Game Studios and The Escapist. He is a warm and truly entertaining gentleman. Hopefully then, it is obvious why, when given the choice of who to interview this week, we asked Chuck to be our quest. Please enjoy!
