  • Please share the mic

    How Eric finds a way to dominate every conversation with such conviction must be studied… I’ve listened to the show for years, but since Kat’s departure, Nadia can barely get a word in edgewise. The final straw was the Pokopia episode, where Eric steamrolled Nadia to give the most patronizing vocal-fried slog of a game description. Victor has been wonderful, and tries to volley the conversation away from Eric, only for it to be snatched right back, so Eric can give some puffy meta-commentary on ... more

  • Different vibe now but still good

    Loved this when Kat and Nadia were the main hosts. The show has since evolved and has a different tone now. For me, it lost something special as the dudes kinda took over in the past couple years - a shame, but still pretty good. Older episodes, when guests were also great and given more room to breathe, are nice to revisit.
