Amazing Podcast

I absolutely love the concept of this podcast. So many TV, Movie, and Video Game podcasts are simple recaps shows, which are fine. But the way this podcast discusses the Kingdom Heart franchise is so refreshing. Also, the hosts sound like such fun and friendly people and they have good rapport with one another, which also adds to the enjoyment of listening to this podcast.
