Just a lovely podcast

I’ve been listening for a couple of years now and the best way I can describe this is just an hour of listening to four friends having a great conversation and a catch up about the games, tv, films and more that be they’ve been enjoying. It’s really welcoming and warm and I just want to join the conversation.

Such a wonderful thing to listen to each week

This podcast stands out for me in terms of being one of the most relaxing things to listen to -the timbre of the hosts' voices, the calming sound effects, and the excellent chilled chat about a wide variety of topics makes it a pleasure to listen to each week.

Highly recommendend for a more general gaming/geeky style of podcast that feels like you are just catching up with some friends over tea - thank you gents, and keep it up!

Covers a lot of geeking and life around geeking. Love it.
