    The Top 100 Games Podcast hosted by Jared Petty is a must-listen for any fan of retro gaming. In this podcast, Jared brings on a different guest for each episode to discuss their choice for the top 100 video games of all time. What sets this podcast apart is Jared's infectious passion and enthusiasm for video games, which shines through in every episode. He has a knack for creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere that allows his guests to open up and share their love for their chosen game.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the variety of guests that Jared brings on. From fellow gamers to industry professionals, each guest offers a unique perspective and insight into their favorite game. This diversity adds depth and richness to the discussions, making them both informative and entertaining. Additionally, Jared's extensive knowledge of gaming history and his ability to reference other classic games adds another layer of depth to the conversations.

    Another standout aspect of The Top 100 Games Podcast is the structure of each episode. Rather than simply discussing the chosen game, Jared delves into each guest's personal connection to the game and how it shaped their gaming experience. This personal touch adds an emotional element that resonates with listeners and makes each episode feel intimate and relatable.

    While The Top 100 Games Podcast has many strengths, there are a few areas where it could improve. Some listeners may find that certain episodes focus too heavily on nostalgia or specific genres, making it less accessible for those who are not familiar with certain games or eras. Additionally, occasional technical issues with microphone quality can be distracting at times.

    In conclusion, The Top 100 Games Podcast is a fantastic show for anyone interested in retro gaming and video game history. Jared Petty's passion, knowledge, and ability to create engaging conversations make this podcast a joy to listen to. Whether you're revisiting old favorites or discovering new games through the eyes of passionate gamers, The Top 100 Games Podcast is a must-add to your podcast playlist.
