A Life Well Wasted
Robert Ashley delivers a completely fresh take on covering the gaming landscape. Instead of focusing on the games themselves, or the industry, Robert focuses on the people. Each episode has a specific focus on some niche or topic with a human, introspective approach. There is nothing else in the gaming podcast space doing anything like this. Whether you are interested in games or not, A Life Well Wasted transcends its focused topic of games and finds the human stories making it a must-listen for anyone.
