Customer Reviews
New Format
I prefer the old format
Some Great Tips; Some Presenters Grate
I listened to three Dice and Dialogue episodes about Monster of the Week; while the 4 hosts are clearly experienced and have good ideas, they’re hard to listen to. Alex and Brandon were thoughtful; but Ian interrupted a lot-- often to make juvenile or inside jokes -- and was hard to understand when excited. Justin seemed rigid, impatient, judgmental, and condescending. Whenever he asked for thoughts from others on the team, he passed judgment on what they said. (E.g., "I don't hate that idea.") Felt like hanging out with smart high-schoolers who have compensated for their lack of social skills by over-investing in RPGs. I wish them well, but as the show stands, it's hard to listen to.
Content is Good, Hosts are not
The topics and advice the three hosts cover are great, and they have introduced me to a lot of third-party content that I have loved.
The hosts themselves seem to have a lot of unresolved animosity between them. Justin and Ian in particular are snarky to each other and bicker frequently on the show, which isn’t what I’m looking for in a show.
