    Just wished he didn’t talk away from the mic. I listed to this on the way to work and have a hard time making out some details.

  • Informative

    Brain Saur really has a love of hard media and his crusade to keep the public abreast of the importance of them is noble. His approach is relaxed which makes it easy to listen to. And he’s on top of the different companies putting out the hard copies that listening to the podcast were up to date on all the new releases.

  • Hearing from bluray labels is interesting but...

    It’s nice to hear interviews with the people behind the scenes of boutique blurays but the host is a massive brown-noser to anyone who comes on his show. He can be incredibly cringeworthy to listen to.
