Best podcast about video games

CJ, Greg, and Phil are great. There’s always laughter and great discussions. How else am I supposed to find out what Mountain Dew flavors to avoid? Can’t wait for episode 1000!

Posivated ,

The most exciting thing to happen on this show they put behind a paywall.

This is probably the least exciting video game podcast you’ll ever listen to, and the one time they actually have something exciting that they are going to promote. They put it behind paywall. While yes it is something as stupid as the chip challenge to hype up your audience, who is listening and then to put it behind a pay wall is bad.

Hellfire455 ,

Great podcast but flawed

Writing this for constructive criticism. TOO MUFH POLITICS. We get it. You’re west coast/Canadian leftists. We don’t listen to video game podcasts for political talk. Stick to games and not alienating chunks of your audience.
