Synopsis
Gaming in Hell is a podcast about online culture hosted by two guys who hate being called "gamers" despite the term being appropriate. The internet is hell and we're all living in it - but what made it this way? Through conversations with friends about gaming culture, social media and everything else that happens online, the show hopes to unpack what makes the internet so terrible, and possibly discover a way to enjoy things without being awful.
