  • Citadel Council would approve

    This Mass Effect lorecast is so good it almost makes the Reapers 50,000 year cycle worth the wait! Deep dives, sharp humor, and zero filler. Pure Paragon-tier listening. Highly recommend if you still get emotional over the Normandy's crew.

    I should go.

  • “Along tides of light of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to this podcast again.”

    As a relatively recent fan of mass effect (picked the game up December 2024) I began to crave more- ‘Is there going to be a direct sequel to the trilogy?’, ‘What do Volus look like under their suits, is it Danny De Vito?’

    And as to these questions, this podcast hold all the answers. I originally came in for ME news, but quickly got wrapped up in interesting facts, insightful discussions and witty banter.

    Since my journey began, my indoctrination has led me to have now listened to every singl... more

  • Late to the game, but this podcast is the best thing ever!

    I only found this podcast in 2026 while driving for work but it has to be the best thing ever! I can’t wait to listen more each day and try to catch up! I genuinely feel like I have a whole group of new friends who get what a great game Mass Effect is. I know this game like the back of my hand but I never get tired of hearing more! Seriously, I know this podcast may be over already but I still feel all the same excitement and joy yall express every week. From one Mass Effect fan to another, than... more

  • Had to be Sam (and Jennasis), someone else might have gotten it wrong

    This podcast is methadone for Mass Effect fans. It will satisfy your cravings for the games and you learn at the same time! I’m also glad to have another Ashley romancer defending her on a large platform - JUSTICE FOR ASHLEY (and her thicc behind)

    PS. I’ve just listened to your “What If?” Episodes so forgive me if it’s been covered, but what if TIM had allowed Miranda to put the control chip in Shepherd?

  • I couldn’t think of an interesting title.

    Hi there! I started listening to this podcast in October of 2025 and am finally caught up!

    This podcast has helped me get through many long days at my manufacturing job, and I’m very grateful to N7 Legend and Jennasis for continuing to make quality content like this. (Big thanks to Tom as well for those early days)

    I actually started playing the trilogy for the first time ever in July 2025, and the game hit everything I like in Sci-fi and in RPG’s, as well as having incredible combat. I haven’... more
