Race of Rivals

Steam Cleaners is a gaming podcast hosted by Chase Wassenar and Walter Fedczuk as part of the Rough Drafts Podcast Network. Every two weeks, Chase and Walter take the time to ask each other what video games they've played that week in hopes of making a sizable dent in their far-too-large Steam libraries.
