Idle Weekend

I don't know when but at some point this show switched permanently to themed episodes in a main topic of discussion and that's been a fantastic format ever since.Keep up the good work!

This is hands down my favourite podcast to listen when I'm stuck in the car on my way to and from work. R&D have such a warm conversational tone to their episodes that I feel like I'm listening to friends I've known my entire life. The only problem is figuring out how I will ever afford all the games they've made me want to play! Keep up the amazing work guys and thanks for the free month of Barkbox, my German Shepherd Gem thanks you :)

This is one of my favourite gaming podcasts. Danielle and Rob are so insightful! Every weekend they have a chill, but super in-depth conversation about games and the gaming industry. I feel smarter after listening.

Idle Weekend is more than an Idle Thumbs offshoot (though I will admit that I was super-stoked to hear that Danielle would still be doing Thumbs-related podcasting after leaving the main show)--it's a fun alternative/companion to other gaming podcasts that have a more weekly-news-related focus. Although new games and gaming news do occasionally come up, the bulk of each IW episode consists of a weekly discussion topic that often leads the hosts to look back to old favourites or things they missed on release. I'm not always personally invested in the topic (or the specific games) at hand on a given week, but I always enjoy listening to Danielle and Rob share their experiences and engage in the occasional friendly debate. It really is like listening in on a conversation between friends, and I love it! P.S. Thanks, you two, for making me finally go back into my backlog and play The Witcher 3. I'm now dozens of hours into that gaming abyss and I'm completely addicted to Gwent.
