Long Time Listener

I've been listening to Nathan and Alex for years. They have some great conversations and their interviews are excellent as well. This is one of the few podcasts I've found focusing on game mechanics instead of news, and it does a good job. It makes me think about my own gaming groups and my process for eventually developing my own tabletop content.

Nerdy, Likeable, and In Depth

Alex and Nathan are such great hosts and they really know their stuff. I love the fact that they bring on game designers and talk about the trials and tribulations of game design. Highly recommend.

Pat's Own Review ,

I'm not a game guy, but....

I listened to this despite it not being 'my kind of thing' because.. well I'm a fellow podcaster and I think its important to show each other support and offer constructive advice. I'll tell ya what, I REALLY legit liked listenng to this. I listened to a lot of 'I know you know' episode.. I LOVE the intro, the sound quality is good, the voices are smooth sounding and as important as anythign else, the sound quality is really, really good. Much continued success--this is one of the better sounding pods I've listened to in a while.
