Interesting and well done

Great podcast. I find that my tastes and Anthony’s are quite close which makes this a must listen for me. My only complaint is that they often state the game title so fast and never repeat it that I sometimes miss which game they are talking about. That said, I am a stray and enthusiastic listener.

Absolutely love the podcast.

I love the format and their interactions with the community.

Sick of non-gaming nonsense

I’ve realized that non-gaming, woke nonsense in my podcasts’ list is unwelcome. Dropped.
