Our second podcast! Same basic format, same release date, but a focus on all things late 90s early 2000s. Dove into some of our favourite media from at least 10 years ago while also fielding some patreon suggested topics once a month and of course re-covering some titles from the GameCube that we feel we need to do justice to.

After reading 555 backs of cases we have completed the GameCube library and now can easily go to a video game store and explain any GameCube game on the shelf, even Darkened Syke. We’re thrilled to have accomplished this feat without missing a week and a huge thanks to everyone who made this possible. Explore 2.5 years of GameCube here!

So picture this you are at work and you are bored of listening to your coworkers jokes that are not even funny well that was my situation a few weeks ago until I found the GameCube was cool podcast. So when I found the podcast I started listening to it every day (about 4 to 5 episodes a day) and that helped me to have fun at my job so thank you guys for all you have done.

The GameCube was cool podcast is one of my favorites. I did not grow up with the GameCube but this podcast is the reason why I bought a GameCube and I’ve been listening pretty much each week since the shrek episode. I loved the reviews for Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, and hit and run but there are so many good ones here. I have Mike and Neil to thank for pushing me to get a Gamecube by their awesome experiences and interviews with others on the show and interesting and sometimes random facts about all these games.

Started from Episode 1! Recently found this podcast and started from the beginning. I’m now on episode 22, and I’m loving it. Informative, funny, with enjoyable guests when they can. I’m excited to keep listening and see how it grows.PS, Animal Crossing was my favorite childhood GC game, glad it got covered in the first 20 episodes!

Funny, nostalgic, and thoughtful; what nice young men indeed. I thoroughly enjoy the vibe and content of these guys. I grew up on GameCube so it’s so fun to connect and reminisce with the memories that Mike and Neil, as well as their guests, share, and delightfully surprising to hear others remember specific moments in these games that Overall it’s a really quality experience that can get surprisingly emotional and heartfelt while being equally balanced with casual humor and banter that only two lifelong friends could have.
