Square Roots is like a book club, but for classic RPGs! Each episode John, Matthew, Jim and Vanessa play through a chunkerino of one of your favorite RPGs, from Final Fantasy through Chrono Trigger. Are they experts? No. Are they qualified? Absolutely not. Are they good at RPGs? Probably not. But they're the fun kind of dumb, and that's what counts.

Customer Reviews
Perfect Video Game Podcast
Absolutely adore this group of friends who met through some kind of online meme forum and decided to start a podcast together. The group and their format is incredibly accessible, starting each episode with a check in of their lives (the “Level Up” segment) through a detailed analysis of gameplay (“Quest Log” or its game specific version) and ending with an analysis (“Squarely Against”). You can tell the group really loves each other and gaming and you will enjoy being part of their family.
I started back from the beginning and have enjoyed (or suffered along with, for entries covering - say - The Bard's Tale) every step of the podcast. But genuinely you can start with a series you know well and jump in to the podcast whenever.
Please check it out!
5-star gaming podcast
1-star taskmaster podcast. Every time Vanessa tries to talk about taskmaster they stop her. Disappointing.
Good
For a bunch of chugey Gen X’ers who want to be millennials.
