Special bonus babblecast for you. We're mad about the news this week on videogame media folk at Giant Bomb and Polygon going the way of the dodo and wanted to celebrate their great work and consider the future for the shows and articles we love.

Trigger warning, we're sad.

Character issues 23 features the track Let's Go Up by Origami Repetika from the album The Happy Puppy Collection, The song is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. No changes are made to the original audio.

We've done the work so the Cardinals don't have to, get ready to meet your new Pope! Leah and Brian put their heads together to do what everyone else is too cowardly to do, make a videogame character the new head of the Catholic Church. Join us to see what color smoke comes out of the chimney. Rich will join us again in the next cast which will be here.....way sooner than you expect!!!

Your favorite Crimbos are back for a holiday edition of the Character Issues Podcast. We rank so many characters in this episode, you don't even know. Just all of the characters. Every character has and will be ranked......we may have talked for 90 minutes without ranking a character. BUT....we had fun and we think you will too. Hope you have the happiest of new years, thanks for being with us. We love you. We are watching you.
