Volkai ,

Solid, well-produced execution

Great show!

Minor critique: “marry, bed, kill” on the latest episode was a huge missed opportunity to use the variant from a previous program, “wed, bed, behead”.

CheckpointXP ,

Something new!

Very cool idea. Loving that I can watch the game they talk about on YouTube before the podcast. Keep it up!
