Great OSR-ish podcast!
I follow a half-dozen RPG podcasts but just discovered this one, and have already listened to five episodes in three days. I love the mix of personalities and viewpoints, but they don’t overwhelm the listener with inside jokes and idle chit chat that are common in too many podcasts.
Episodes available again…
Loads of nostalgic fun.
Still going strong!
Really enjoying this show! The hosts are great, and the topics are a lot of fun. I also enjoy when Jim comes on as a guest host. Always enjoy his input! Keep it up!
