The Grinding Gear Podcast

Burnout-free video game coverage from podcast veterans. Join Garrett and Kyle every week as they get lost in games, pop culture, and everything they’re personally playing.
Great show! Funny, informative, and I don’t miss an episode!

I’ve listened to all the A-move shows (StarCraft Episode 1, checking in), and loved ‘em all! Garrett and Kyle are directly responsible for me spending $100’s on Blizzard games. Now they’ve moved to a format that enables them to cover a wider breadth of content, and I love it. Keep up the great work, guys!
Update

Too much yelling and cartoony voices. Spend too much time describing store items. The whole Show has the vibe of a YouTube thumbnail.
Like banter with friends

As an enjoyer of games, movies, books and good banter, this is a great listen for my work commute! It’s like every day at my house and my conversations with my husband and I love every minute of it! Catch them live on You Tube for a very wholesome experience! Great duo!
Excellent analysis of what makes a game worth your limited time!

Love the relationship, the banter, and that they are no longer married to a single game. It's great to hear analytical discussion, a critical review, and the ability to be a huge fan of a topic, while still being able to critique it.
Great Listen!

I’m new to the podcast world of Garret and Kyle, and I’m super stoked to have great new content! If you love video game discussion, art comparisons, cocktails and cute fuzzy dogs then this is the show for you!
And the beatdown goes on

Been listening for years and never left my review. HOTS is still chugging away and so is ITN. Great casual podcast to listen in on and it will always get you going to play more HOTS! If you play Blizzard games then listen for the content. If you were born between 1982 and 1992 listen for the references… there will be many lol!

Great show by hosts that care
03/19/2021
I have listened to these guys for a long time back when they first started doing Starcast. They continue to improve and put out better quality product episode after episode. They usually have at least one guest a month sometimes two and the conversation is mainly about HotS but also has other fun topics. They work hard to always answer email questions and if the miss a week get it on the next week.
Best HOTS Podcast out there.

This long running show never fails to please. Host chemistry is great, game info and tips are useful and widely applicable. This show will be enjoyed by everyone from bronze to masters. Tune in for a weekly dose of patch notes, hero guides, map strategies, meta analysis, and other gaming banter. Update: Been listening for like 3 years now and have never missed an episode. The only show that I donate to weekly. Fantastic podcast.
Great except for Jeff Cannata
10/01/2019
The show is basically the only HOTS podcast left. I’d pay as a patron if there was a “no Jeff cannata” there because that guy is a horrible guest. When NotParadox comes in it is really educational. Keep up the great work Garrett and Kyle!
