  • Great Potential

    Retroforce Go is one of my favorite podcasts. The chemistry that Topher, Chad, Dyson and Colette had was incredible. I'm optomistic for this podcast.

  • Great podcast with fun hosts and topics!

    I've been a longtime fan of Colette ever since she was on RetroForceGO! back in the day so it's great to have her on a podcast again! This is my first time hearing Matt but he is fantastic too. Their rapport is amazing and the topics were interesting and unique compared to other gaming podcasts.
