  • Entertaining and Informative

    This show is a phenomenal introduction into many crazy parts of an equally crazy universe. The hosts do an amazing job of balancing depth with approachability and general appreciation for the IP. I’m over a hundred episodes in and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    P.S. hello to the daedric prince level supporters!
