  • He Does It All

    Jason is one man machine. His podcast covers a lot of rpg subjects. He has many guests that have fun conversations. And Jason, I think he's worse than me buyoing gaming products and Kickstaters.

  • Variety is Right!

    This is a wonderful podcast in which you never know what you're going to get next! Lovely little segments to break it up with unboxings, reviews, mixed in with chat and ideas. The host Jason is a caring and thoughtful person and you can tell he really loves RPG and the community that play it. A wholesome and thoroughly interesting listen, that leaves me full of ideas for my own games. Get this one on your must listen list today!
