  • More than very little

    These lads are quite knowledgeable (at least Dhar is) but also quite fun. A simple 5 stars.

  • The Best lore podcast

    I love this podcast, perfect balance between lore and jokes 😅 and side note, as a Québécois ( French Canadian) the intro of episode 56 made my ears bleed 🤣

  • My favourite badger focused podcast, by some distance

    Chris will horribly mispronounce Skaven in the first few minutes, he knows not what he does, try to look past this.

    Weirdly, as I typed this they started talking about why he was nearly right.

    But he is not.

    I prefer the Kevin the gerbil story, but it’s probably not true.

  • Highly enjoyable!

    Want to get through the immense lore of the Old World of Warhammer and still enjoy the journey? These lads have you covered.

    Histories, heroes and hilarity combine for an enjoyable stomp through the Warhammer lore thanks to Dhar’s encyclopaedic knowledge, with sniggering guaranteed thanks to Ben and Cral.
