Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!!
This is one of my favorite podcasts! I’ve tried a few of the other gaming podcasts but you don’t get the enthusiasm or overall general knowledge KC and JV have of the publishers, developers and genre of the topics they talk about. If you enjoyed games as a kid and still dabble when you get time to pick up a controller then I highly recommend this podcast. Weekly releases and games that are spotlighted and discussed help me sift through what I want to add to my personal collection. I listen to this podcast during my workday so “thank you” to these guys for making my day go by a little faster. CHECK THEM OUT!
Love this show.
This is a great show. KC and JV are hilarious and their genuine excitement for all things Switch is very refreshing. Even the simplest games seem to bring them joy and they bring that joy to us through the podcast and the amazing community that has grown around it. I use them to help me decide what games to buy, and the discord to connect with other people playing those games. In my day to day life I’m the only person I know who has a switch, so it’s great to have a community and podcast that lets me connect to other switch players around the world. Thank you, Switchcast!
