  • Content is great, big audio issues

    Not sure why these three can’t do an audio level check before each podcast. Overall volume is super low. Skarrow is medium volume, the others are super loud and super quiet. Makes it hard to listen without constantly adjusting volume.

  • Highly recommended for any Runner.

    Fantastic podcast for anyone excited about Bungie’s Marathon. The hosts bring a great mix of deep knowledge, lore insight, and genuine enthusiasm for the game. The discussions feel natural, fun, and informative, making it one of the best places to keep up with everything happening around Marathon. Now the only thing missing is a Discord where all the listeners can gather and share a community space.

    Sparrow, Jake, and Ryan are the best combination of guys to make this pod. All the newest news, some of the best insights, great background/understanding of Marathon/Bungie as a whole, plus great lore all in a fun package! (Make the Marathon Minute a longer segment, please, and keep up the good work guys!)
