Gamertag Radio (GTR) is an online radio show dedicated to the Xbox Live community and intended to help unite all online gamers. Over the past few years GTR has grown from a small website to one of the biggest & most respected gaming information sites on the Internet. The show features a new episode every week hosted by Godfree (Founder of Gamertag Radio).

Members of the staff that appear regularly on the show include Miss Irie, Feelz Good, CyberAthlete, JVB, Baked Ant & Peterocc along with other members such as Paustinj, LadyLuck, Anjo Banjo and Design Jockey that all share the same passion for games.

Every week a new episode is created recapping the news of the past week and includes discussions about what is happening in the online gaming community along with interviews and a weekly custom soundtrack highlighting up & coming Hip Hop artists.

GTR also regularly reviews new games, discusses new downloadable content, talks about new upcoming games, while attempting to shine some light on the Xbox Live Gamers themselves who contribute a lot to the gaming community. GTR has had the opportunity to interview many of the biggest names in the Xbox Community such as Peter Moore (Head of EA Sports Gaming), Cliff Bleszinski (Lead designer of Gears of Wars), the staff of TeamXbox.com, Major Nelson (the Director of Programming for Xbox Live) and many more.
