Very good

Its great
As a student from New Zealand this is a great way to pass the time while on the bus or even during break time.
Its engaging, positive and lowkey weird which adds to the feel of friendliness.
My number one priority podcast
In New Zealand, the release of this podcast coincides well with the Wednesday commute home. I throw it to the top of the queue, regardless of whatever is currently paused and listen eagerly to all the craziness the crew have been up to and, just perhaps, a bit of videogame news and opinions. In this busy life, my actual gaming has taken a back seat but I live vicariously through these 2+ hour podcasts - I anxiously make sure I've cleared my backlog right before the onslaught of E3 coverage and the infamous tens of hours Game of the Year debates.
It's a podcast about gaming, but you get a huge flavour of the American culture and given these guys strong connections with friends in the industry, there's often a few industry-famous guests and insider stories.
Keep it up, Giant Bomb
