  • I love it so much!!

    You can tell that Emily & Kate have such a genuine friendship. The podcast is amazing! It's funny, candid, professional, educational, fun. We could not ask for more!! My favorite part is how they explain what they love (and what they like less) about a game in such an eloquant manner that makes us actually consider getting the game.
