During the What’s Odyssey Podcast’s season one break, Joshua looked to his Instagram followers to get one fan-suggested episode topic. Of all of them, “gaming addiction” was both the most suggested and the most responsive suggestion. So he looked into them.

Joshua takes the controls and looks at the multiple opinions surrounding gaming in the last regular episode of the What’s Odyssey Podcast’s first season.
