The girls are alright!

The What's Good Games podcast is a breath of fresh air. I first found out about the podcast by hearing Andrea Rene on Kinda Funny podcasts, which led me here. Andrea, your hostess with the mostest, is the field general directing the action. Riana provides fair and balanced commentary, and Brittney is the firecracker who always cannonballs into the pool at just the right (or wrong) moment, often holding a glass of wine in her hand.

It gets silly at times, but the girls always come back to give their honest feedback about games or industry stories, and it never goes too far off the rails. I also appreciate that they can be critical of games they may not love without getting cantankerous about it.

Overall, the mood is always positive, and the length is perfect: not too short, but not long-winded either. They have hit the sweet spot in terms of almost everything. I'm always looking forward to the next episode.

Awesome podcast

The combination of news, personal opinions and campy jokes gets me through my gym routine for some time now and couldn‘t do it better. Thank you!
