  • 5* surprise

    I found this podcast on a whim, as I’m about to go travelling for a few weeks. Let me tell you, I’ve been so pleasantly surprised to find a podcast that doesn’t prioritise news, and the three hosts have such good rapport with each other. I’ve already listened to all the 2025 episodes and saved the rest for my travel!

  • Annoying

    I cannot stand the incessant beavis and butthead laughter even when there isn’t a joke or comment in play. Just couldn’t listen to this show. I notice a lot of uk podcasts do this and there is a very patronising tone. All we want is just want to listen to game chat if you listen to digital foundry they know more then you but you don’t find that.
