GameCola staff writers Michael Gray and Paul Franzen do an off-topic podcast that has little to do with videogames, while Michael plays Mega Man Zero 3 so you've got something to watch. Part 1 of 5. Topics include:

- The introduction to the podcast.
- Former GameCola columns and writers.
- Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

When Michael and Paul got together to record Podcast #18: Michael and Paul's Excellent Adventure, they found themselves getting off-topic a lot. So much, in fact, that when they cut all the off-topic stuff out of the podcast, there was enough left over to make a whole new podcast. So they did, and you're listening to it right now.

The GameCola higher-ups decided to call this podcast Off-Topic #1, instead of The GameCola Podcast #19, for two reasons:

1) To allow for more future podcasts that are just cobbled together from leftover podcast clips, and

2) Because the rest of the staff would be mad if GameCola allowed Michael and Paul to have two entire podcasts to themselves again.
