While you may play the games, do you know the people behind the games? The Electric Playground highlights those "invisible people" who are the true stars of the games: The developers, writers, concept artists, directors, producers, and anyone involved in creating games. Hosted by Victor Lucas and Tommy Tallarico, they go on location with Co-hosts Julie Stoffer, Geoff Keighley and Jade Raymond to interview those in the gaming industry to let you know the creative and always exciting minds behind those games you love to play. Plus get a preview of upcoming games, news from the gaming industry and get gaming info on some of your favorite stars. Created and executive produced by host Victor Lucas, Electric Playground has been a staple on airwaves since its debut in September 1997. In August 2008, EP Daily was launched and by July 2012 the two shows had merged under the EP Daily moniker.
