  • Great Podcast

    Genuinely love this podcast. It’s a no nonsense podcast that it’s filled with a litany of takes or bias.

  • Good but could be better

    My biggest issue with this show is that it seems Greg is reading off a script. Him and Sean McDonough are a GREAT crew, and I think this podcast would greatly benefit from another personality/producer for Greg to interact with. Otherwise it just feels like Greg is just reading through a script.

  • Great Analysis!

    I really appreciate how Greg does a deep-dive into how each game develops and explains the key moments. Thank you for saying “an alumnus” instead of “an alumni!”
