Tandem Canon - The Game-rific Podcast
Welcome to the podcast, fam! We are two nostalgia-seeking, plot-twist feeling, button mashing, character-avenging, co-op fist-bumping, passionate gamers. And we’re sharing that passion with you on the airwaves on Tandem Canon: The Game-rific Podcast. This podcast is based on our attitudes, desires and experiences in the world of video gaming, particularly co-op. We are passionate about gaming, and strongly believe that everyone has room on the co-op couch with us. On the podcast, we'll cover a wide range of topics, such as our favorite games; characters we feel are highly underrated; the games that have us catching feelings; franchises we wish could be fixed; our frustrations with movie based games, and more. We are so excited about nerding out with you and would love you to level up with us every other week. Please look for Tandem Canon: The Game-rific Podcast on where you like to stay plugged in.
