Just another Viking ,

Lovely show from lovely people

You know you can trust Gino as he's down on Super Mario Sunshine.

KodaGoat ,

Content I want from people who are alright

I appreciate the sheer amount of content that I can sit through since I listen to a lot of podcasts, but the rotating co-hosts can be either fine or annoying to listen to depending on who it is. Slightly harshly worded, but I still like listening to most of them.

Gillbertbee ,

Games!

The analysis is super interesting and the hosts are hilarious! Definitely a worthwhile listen!
