The Dice Tower

I’ve listened to the Dice Tower podcasts for some years and enjoyed them. I prefer the Mandi and Suzanne episodes and skip over the Tom and Eric ones. I feel they have developed their own style over time and the show flows really well with them. I see Tom on YouTube a fair bit so it’s great to get a different perspective from Mandi and Suzanne. Keep up the great work ladies.

Great podcast - I particularly like the top ten segments

Tom and Eric have excellent chemistry and are very easy to listen to. I persevered for a year or so with the Mandi & Suzanne episodes (both of whom I enjoy individually/when they have been guests). Unfortunately I now tend to just listen every other week. Some of the reasons for this decision: In the M&S weeks the intro is a dreadful saccharine sped up version of the ‘regular’ intro. Please change it! It makes my ears bleed. Another of the problems feels structural. Tom plays so many games (he is a full-timer); in contrast M,S and E just don’t play as many and seem less knowledgable. This is almost certainly because they are also holding down day-jobs and don’t have time to play as many as Tom. However, the effect on the podcast is noticeable. With no Tom to anchor the episode, sometimes it all feels a bit thin. Finally I find M and S just a bit too saccharine and happy. I am a grim northerner though, so that’s to be expected. Geoff Engelstein is unfailingly very interesting! All of this is clearly subjective. But then again, this is a review: what else did you expect?

I love the dice tower, and this podcast is no exception. Really fun and relaxed show, talking about news, games they have played, top tens and weird topics too! Like board games? You should listen!
