Here's the thing—Press Pause Radio has the goal of trying to distance ourselves away from any other podcast you may hear about or listen to. We range on a multitude of topics, from current events in the video games industry to many different retrospectives that made our once scoffed upon "juvenile" entertainment into a respected media platform among music and movies. To give you a bit of background on Press Pause Radio, our demographic is any gamer within the age group between 15 and 35. Our podcast and website encompass all different genres and play styles, but we mainly focus on providing insight and exposure to products developed by Independent game companies that provide fresh experiences within a medium that suffers from recycled ones.

So kick back and listen! Feel free to message us with any ideas you may have for the show, or just plain message us.
