The Drunken Peasants Podcast Drunken Peasants

This show was good when Tj and Paul was on DP but since Ben is still on it’s still good I guess but ever since Paul and tj left it hasn’t been as good.

4 / 5

I decided to give the podcast a listen to again after dropping it years ago (shortly after most of the original cast left) to see how it has improved since last time I listened to it. Man, this show just feels so stale now. It’s usually not too bad when they have a guest on but when it’s just Ben and Billy it’s feels like such a slog. I understand that Ben is making use of what he has and I respect the fact he’s been keeping the show a float by himself for this long, but I personally can’t vibe with this show the way it currently is. The community that made this show unique compared to other podcasts is pretty much completely gone now and everyone else moved on. I also don’t appreciate the fact that all the older episodes have been completely removed since I would go back to older episodes from time to time for the nostalgia. Overall the show is just bland now and feels like it completely needs guests to help carry it when that wasn’t the case before.

Watching/listening to this podcast for just about 10 years. I enjoy it and it’s great to listen to at work. However, the cohost Billy, the sweet boy that he is, is either very funny or completely insufferable. Going on off topic tangents about fast food, or some nonsense he makes up on the fly. Frequently playing devils advocate for his subhuman garbage friends. If you want an episode to begin with, don’t bother or find an episode with Scott and Asterios. They’re frequent guest hosts and easily the most entertaining people on the show currently.
