4GQTV podcast feed is on Anchor for audio and the video show is on YouTube. The show is hosted by Italian-American gaming enthusiast Clownz. It was originally launched in December 2013. The current panel members are Fun Speculation, PKX Entertainment, That Mumma Rocks, Midway Monster, Animated Evil and 3 Bit. Viewpoint Gaming is still a panel member but has taken a recess while appearing on other podcasts.

Origins and launch
The podcast began in late 2013 with the original panel of Clownz, Inferno217, ZPCI Assassin, and Kaos. Kaos left and was replaced by Turtle Boy. Eventually Turtle Boy left and was replaced by Zebbra Fries. Around 2015 or so Inferno217 decided to step away from podcasting and sent a message to the group. In 2020 ZPCI Assassin and Zebbra Fries both decided to leave to pursue other ventures.

In the early days of the podcast Clownz was responsible to schedule guests on the show. Some of the most notable guests Clownz got on the show was the voice of Master Chief Steve Downes, Rachel "Seltzer" Quirico, Jay Bartlett from Nintendo Quest and many more.

YouTube era
By Episode 5 4GQTV switched from being primarily hosted on Twitch to YouTube. 4GQTV was one of the early adopters of multi-streaming the show to different RTMP destinations at once using services like Restream.

Spotify era
Around July 2017 Clownz decided to switch the podcast feed host from Simplecast to Anchor. Since then the podcast feed has been listened to all around the world and the biggest audience is in America, India and Russia.

Gamers United Guild
Around 2020 4GQTV made the decision to join the Gamers United Guild which is a group of podcast that promote each other. Clownz is one of the early adopters and helped form the group as a founding member. The group votes as a democracy and believes in helping other smaller channels and podcasters so that they can grow organically. The members of the Gamers United Guild consist of Retro Renegades, Next Level Gaming, TXR, BG4G, Fun Speculation, GoGameGo, and Bacon Ice Cream Productions.
