  • This show has made me a better GM and player

    I found this show after I asked what non-AP ttrpg podcasts I should listen to and after sorting through all the responses (and there were a lot), Panda’s Talking Games was absolutely the best one and I’m almost done burning through the backlog.

    Phil and Senda are fun and engaging, but they’re also really thoughtful and knowledgable GMs and players. The current format is fantastic, and their advice has let me have better, more fun sessions at the table. Thank you!

  • Awesome TTRPG Podcast

    Love this show!

    Phil and Senda offer great gming advice and loads of diverse insight into TTRPGs. Their whole back catalogue is worthwhile listening to, and just when you think that a certain topic is not interesting or important for you, their unique perspectives always enlighten you in ways you wouldn’t suspect.

  • Fun and Engaging

    Just discovered this podcast and it’s great! The personalities are funny and engaging and the topics are interesting. They only thing that bothered me was that it feels like Phil, in his excitement, constantly talks over Senda, who seems a bit less gregarious than her cohost.

  • Two great friends talking about stuff is a great comfort genre for me, and this podcast that but for RPGs. This podcast will help you be both a better GM and a better player, with advice mostly prompted by user submissions! Senda and Phil are both delightful and insightful, and I could (and have) listen to them for hours without getting bored. I highly recommend this one for anyone in the TTRPG community or those wanting to get into it!
