Customer Reviews
It only took 200 episodes for their true colors to be exposed!
For 199 episodes, I listened to this villainous podcast. Supposedly, Daniel, Mike, and Steve help you to better appreciate the villains and modular sets in FFG’s Marvel Champions LCG. But in episode 200.1, their true colors were exposed! I heard praise of HEROES! I was sickened to hear these hosts praising characters like Black Widow, sp//DR, and Nebula. What next, IRON MAN??? How far the mighty have fallen!
I’m starting to think that Mustafa was the only real villain in the lair.
Well, back to my own plotting. I’ll have to keep listening, if I’m to overthrow these heroes-in-disguise…
Congratulations on 200 episodes
Not only the best Marvel Champions podcast but the best podcast for any of the LCGs. I genuinely don’t know how you guys manage to do so much high concept, scripted comedy with the relentless weekly release schedule that you keep. I really appreciate your continued enthusiasm for MC, and I’ll stick around and keep listening “while” you guys keep making new episodes.

If these guys are villains I guess I’m bad
I’ll admit when I first started playing this game I tried listening to this podcast and couldn’t get into it. I liked the game a lot but didn’t care too much about the backstories for the villains. After playing the game for a few years now though I have gone deep into the marvel universe and came back to this show. I’m listening from the beginning and I have to say this is the best marvel champions podcast out there. The hosts all genuinely seem to enjoy talking to each other and are effortlessly funny in their banter, skits, etc. It’s also one of the only marvel champions podcasts that comes out on a regular schedule, an impressive feat for any podcaster. Listening to this podcast has just made me appreciate and love the game even more. Keep the episodes coming!
