A new beginning is upon us as Josh and Paula are ambushed by a set of new voices who are eager to carry the torch into season 4 of the How Long To Beat Podcast!

In this extra big episode, members of the community Diallo, Lia, Matt and Roy begin the new season with a discussion of some games that shaped them as gamers over the years before going into the classic talking points of the games they have beaten, retired, and played.

Be ready for dark Pikmin roleplay, Yu-Gi-Oh nerd rage, and the occasional chirp from the new podcast mascot, Lizza the bird!
