The GAP Podcast, or Generic Acronym Podcast Podcast, is a podcast featuring Luke Lawrie and Joab Gilroy (plus whoever they can con onto the show) where they talk about the games they’ve been playing. This thing is 600+ episodes long and it’s all one giant long arc. With every ep being between 60 to 250 minutes long there’s no way you’d ever catch up. There’s no real point in trying.
