Pod of Greed (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Podcast)

I recently fell back into watching Yu-Gi-Oh and had the thought that there HAS to be a podcast talking about the plot of this show—it’s too good and wild not to have one. Lo and behold I found Pod of Greed! It’s super nice and refreshing to hear the hosts’ takes on the series and hearing about the differences between the sub and dub. I have yet to convince anyone in my friend group to watch Yu-Gi-Oh (maybe one day!) so listening to this and laughing along with everyone is just as good.

I’m still early on so I’m hoping maybe this gets fixed as time goes on but the hosts have very little chemistry, talking over each other constantly, not laughing at others jokes— which is awkward and weird considering the jokes are almost always very funny. Makes you wonder if any of these people actually like each other? I will keep listening and overall the podcast is fairly enjoyable but the vibes are absolutely off here for some reason.

Finally someone has made a podcast about the slice-of-life bizarro fiction that is Yu-Gi-Oh GX. A must listen for any fan of the franchise.

This show genuinely got me to watch Yugioh again after ~15 years. Now I know the rules and mechanics, so I guess I am one step away from playing? Also, hosts are great, they sound like they are having a great time :)
