  • Lose the intro song!

    Not a bad podcast, but for God’s sake lose that stupid f-ing intro song. I can tolerate most things, but I almost turned off the podcast when I heard that nonsense. I don’t know why that is so popular amongst the IF community. more

  • Brilliant!!!

    There is a special kind of magic when Carrington and Kay sit down to talk about Infocom games. I intently wait for each new podcast. The way they artfully discuss each title while their playful banter amuses the audience is truly a remarkable thing. It makes me wish to go to Kansasfest just for the opportunity to meet the two of them!

  • Listen to podcast.

    You listen to several episodes and feel a deep sense of nostalgia for these games you played so many years ago. You’re also entertained and amused by the affable hosts, and impressed that they actually played and podcasted about every single Infocom game! more

  • Politics

    I guess listening to a podcast about old games without also hearing hateful politics was too much to hope for.
