Drew and Matt are just fantastic at hosting - they have great personalities, are easy to listen to, are informed, and are passionate about games. They’re very humble and kind and it shows in the way they respect listener mail - taking time to respectfully read through and respond at the end of each episode. This leads to listeners actually feeling like they’re a part of the show and it’s great!
They essentially play through the entirety of a game and spend episodes at length discussing every beat of the experience in detail (ie, story, mechanics, characters, lore). They provide insightful commentary and opinions, and do so in a very casual way. They manage to always stay on track - this balance is very hard to find in many podcasts and it’s very much appreciated.
I’m so glad I discovered Phoenix Down. I wish more podcasts did this sort of review/analysis/discussion format - the kind that feels like a book club, except for games.
I couldn’t recommend it enough. Search through, find a game you’re interested in or have played before (they’ve done a ton), kick back, and enjoy. I don’t think you’ll regret it!
Thanks Drew and Matt. You guys rock! Looking forward to many more years and many more games.
