  • Shiny!

    Solid story and good performances from everyone involved. I have listened to this podcast through all the seasons and have always enjoyed myself, even as the cast and crew came and went and, often as not, returned later on. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. Just remember to start with the first episode in the first season instead of trying to pull a Fox and air the episodes out of chronological order. ;)

  • Sucks the life out of Firefly....

    I am actively trying to remove this podcast from my library. If you enjoyed being left out of joke, or not invited to party that everyone else you know received an invitation to, this podcast might be for you. It literally sucks the life out of Firefly!

  • Season 5 gets better and better

    Firefly Podcast: Balls and Bayonets Brigade is one of the best RPG AP's out there. It has everything a good AP should have. Superb audio quality. A great party of talented PC's. a GM who keeps the drama and intrigue up! I look forward to each and every episode. Now, with the start of season 5, is a good time to come aboard and ride along with the crew. For those of us who have been listening for awhile, I enjoy that characters from previous seasons, like Oliver, are showing up. This pod ... more

  • Balls and Bayonets Indeed

    This is a very fun podcast to listen to and it is a very different system than a lot of others out there. The crew seem to have a great time playing and if you're looking for some laughs and some really cool story look no further!

  • Best cooking companion

    Firefly Podcast keeps me company daily as I cook dinner. It gets turned up really loud so I can hear the antics over the extractor fan and boy what antics they are. You think the heroes can't do anything dumber and then they do and I (hopefully like many other listeners) take great pleasure in wondering just WTF they might do next. Of course the episodes sound even better when you don't have to stop them every 30min because dinner is finished! Don't be an idiot, subscribe!

  • Howdy browncoats

    Best podcast on this side of the verse! If you saw Firefly and Serenity and are feeling orphan from the show, this podcast is sure to make you feel a lot better. They make Serenity's sacrifice worth it and sure are making Mal and his crew proud! Take your brown coat and pistol, keep flying and stay shinny!

  • Superb!

    Just started the second season after binging through the first! Superb story, especially now that the cast has mostly settled in! Aser does a great job as the GM, Megan is superb as the comic relief, and Phil, Alex, and Rob round out the cast with superior role playing and great grasp of the story! Keep trying to name those spaceships you seem to lose every few episodes!

    I recently found this on a whim, and have become enamored. I have started at the beginning, and am working my way through the episodes. This is definitely making my long work days more bearable!

  • Epic

    I got into this podcast through The Leviathan Files podcast, and it is great. If you love Firefly/Serenity, you will love this story and the role-playing this great group uses to tell it.

  • Full Well this is good!

    I listen to a few APs and a few are okay. This is probably one of the better ones out there. Easily my top 3. Highly recommend it! Great cast with a great cast and high production. Listen with confidence.

  • Great rpg play and with Cortex rules!

    Really enjoying this podcast and glad I found it when I did, as there are no others using this rule system. I am about to run my first game using the Serenity rules and love that I can hear game play ahead of it, even though the Firefly rules are slightly different. Very enjoyable and can't wait to hear more adventures aboard the Steele Reaserve. Is that spelled right? 😄 keep up the good work guys and stay shiny!

  • Thoroughly enjoyable

    Do you like Firefly? Do you like roleplaying? If you answered yes to either of those questions then you should definitely check out this podcast.

    A fun romp with some engaging personalities.

    The one change I'd like to see would be more permanent players, but that's a minor quibble.

    Five stars.
