Memory Capsule - A Pokemon TCG Podcast

Leisure EN ↓ 29 episodes

Welcome to the Memory Capsule Podcast, where we interview members of the Pokemon Trading Card Game community. Our goal is not just to focus on the current meta or the most recent tournament results, but to take a deep dive into the history of the TCG and its players with some laid-back conversation. Every episode we’ll learn how our guest got involved in the Pokemon TCG, and give them an opportunity to share their love of the game with our listeners.
