  • I wish I had that half hour back

    I listened to two guys offer what amounted to lazy coverage of what sounded like the reading of a Wikipedia article on the genre of Cyberpunk. I don’t know the age of these hosts, but if I had to guess I would say that they’re young enough to think people want to listen to them chatter from a place of ignorance and young enough to assume that no one will care about their ineptitude.

    Bob and Derek bring out the best elements of a two host podcast by being interesting personalities that play off each other while discussing and going through the topics of the episode. It feels like you get to be right in the chair next to them.

    As far as the content of the podcast if you enjoy Dead Robot’s Society, you’ll definitely enjoy listening along. Derek and Bob are knowledgeable about the subjec... more
