Welcome to Bugzy Malone's Grandest Game includes an ad unrelated to the main topic before getting into an introduction to the GTA series. The British rapper loved the series and saw a reflection of the franchise in his own experiences.

That shouldn't be a surprise to his fans since he made a popular music video known as San Andreas Mentality, which had nearly 10M views on YouTube by the time this article was written.

BBC Radio 5 Live's Chris Warburton is also involved in this podcast as they discuss the popular franchise through seven main episodes.

Some episode highlights

These are the seven main episodes and how long they are:

1. Birth Of A Legend (~32 minutes long)
2. Megastrophic (~36 minutes long)
3. Small Town Alabama (~33 minutes long)
4. Hot Coffee (~32 minutes long)
5. Suited And Booted (~29 minutes long)
6. Bad To The Bone (~33 minutes long)
7. Finally (~34 minutes long)

The first episode starts with GTA 1, while the second episode talks about the second and third mainline games. Small Town Alabama involves Vice City and its associated controversies. Arguably the most interesting episode is Hot Coffee, which is where the British rapper talks about San Andreas and his personal experiences with gang life.

Bugzy Malone's experiences are referenced in the San Andreas Mentality song that he made. Of course, the Hot Coffee podcast episode does talk about the explicit mod of the same name.

The Grandest Games podcast's Suited and Booted also talks about GTA San Andreas while discussing the franchise's next mainline title: GTA IV. Bad to the Bone is primarily about GTA V, whereas Finally is about Online and the long-awaited GTA 6.

There is some speculation in the final episode. Gamers should know by now that nothing has been officially revealed about the game by Rockstar by the time of this episode.

There are several ways for gamers to listen to the Grandest Game podcast. The aforementioned BBC Radio 5 is one way, but something else, like Apple Podcasts, is also an option for some fans. Regardless of the method chosen, Grand Theft Auto fans will likely enjoy putting this podcast's audio in the background.

It's not often that celebrities talk about this series this extensively. The original announcement of the podcast's reveal might have flown under the radar, but hopefully, gamers interested in the subject can go check it out now.
