  • Must Listen!

    Love the Podcast! Only been listening to it for 3 weeks rn. But love how much Information you have and give for the Lore and connect to real world things when it is relevant! Highly recommend to anyone. Question for Lotus, which do you think will happen first: Elder Scrolls 6 release or your kid turning 6?

  • Tom and Lotus are awesome!!

    I actually just recently discovered you guys existed, and as a longtime TES fan I was ecstatic to see y’all are still producing content and have so many episodes!! I’m about 40 episodes in after listening for a few weeks and can say this is my favorite podcast! I love the discussion-based style, the positive energy between Tom and Lotus, and as a philosophy major myself I love Tom’s incorporation of real world myth/religion/philosophy and how TES draws from that. Fantastic!! Love ya’lls podcast,... more

  • SO good!!

    If Lotus had a podcast of just hours of Lotus’ opinions on things, I’d be a subscriber for life! Between the sound of his voice and just his general demeanor, I’d listen to him talk about literally anything.

    But why should you listen to this one? It’s the best elder scrolls podcast out there, hands down. Everything elder scrolls lore, insights, laughs, and so much more. So why are you still reading this?

    Ps R0b0ts does an excellent job as the cohost (can’t forget you, Tom)! I just needed to fa... more
