The Casual Hour

Welcome to The Casual Hour, a podcast ostensibly about video games. Hosted by Bobby Pease and Chase Koeneke, The Casual Hour is a gaming channel where we chill out, mess around and, sometimes, even talk about games! Whether we’re previewing the monthly releases, diving deep on a variety of topics, streaming with our friends or just chatting about the games we’ve been playing that week, The Casual Hour is your home for sharp insight, dumb jokes and most of all, a real good time.
