  • 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 QuĂ©bĂ©cois ( French Canadian) the intro of episode 56 made my ears bleed đŸ€Ł

  • 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.
