- Listened to it all!
I discovered this podcast back in September 2025 when I started playing the Oblivion remaster and now I’m caught up with listening to every episode. Such a great podcast! I wasn’t much of a fan of ESO, but I know it fills out a lot of lore. This series has been a great way to catch all that and better understand and appreciate the Elder Scrolls games I do play. I’ve also been overseas in the military and unable to play anything for quite some time now, but this show helps me still get that Elder... more

This podcast is very well structured, and makes very complicated lore concepts simple. I’ve been running an elder scrolls themed dnd campaign and this podcast has been a huge help for that.

Love listening to this podcast when I’m on the drive to and from work. Really enjoying the iceberg series currently!
I’ve listened to close to 100 episodes now, so many detailed past episodes such as the invasion of Akavir. Who talos really was etc.
Love the hosts, great chemistry - Lotus is tempting me to get back into ESO!
Keep up the great work lads.
P.S: Words are hard

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?
Apple Podcasts5ComplexitiiUnited States3 months ago - 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
