Great Pod! A must listen!

Adam and Justin are two amazing hosts! Very knowledgeable of the pokemon TCG and the evolving meta game. Their friendly banter is super enjoyable and no episode goes without a laugh! I’d recommend to all. 5 stars!

It’s Super Effective

A great show for new and experienced players alike. Deep dives into current meta-relevant game mechanics, but relaxed enough that my kid loves to listen to it, too. If you are a collector who is tempted to learn what your cards can do when they aren’t stuffed into binders, give this show a try.

Good listen

You should listen to this podcast! Lots of good TCG content.
