  • Definitely Enjoyable.

    EDIT: I’m redoing this review since it’s been a couple of years. This podcast is still great. It’s been fun to see how it’s evolved, and I’m super glad that they are making more episodes.

    I really enjoy listening to what these guys have to say! They have good opinions and it’s a good way to learn new stuff. The Side Mission podcasts are great.
