Niwra ,

Faithful listener

I've been listening to this podcast for years now and still like it better each week. It caters to a slightly older demographic and has a tendency for being retro-casual, but the hosts have a long career in games journalism behind their belts and the mileage shows ... In a good way!

Cranky listener ,

Moderately interesting podcast, however

after a few instances where the cast seemed keen to misinterpret a listener's question, to then ridicule the listener and question, I decided to unsubscribe.
Apart from that the independant view this podcast offers is interesting, and the presentation is alright.
