  • Unique Pokemon go Podcast.

    I love the “Trainers Eye” episodes of this show. It goes in-depth on players experiences with the game from day one to present, Where as other podcasts may touch on these subjects they tend to focus more on news and updates.

    This is a unique and fantastic podcast. Glad I found it!!
