Play Along Podcast is a podcast where we play through games in a book club format. We will each take turns picking a game and playing through a section of it every other week. At the end, we will give our review and if we would recommend it to you. Come play along with us every Tuesday at 9am PST as we venture through the world of gaming.

Love the format of a book club style video game podcast. These guys will make you laugh as well as have interesting insights as they all have unique taste and backgrounds in gaming
Enjoy it for the most part, but I beg you you to stop covering games before your time. It's clear you never understand any of the things that go with them, they go into a lot of games with a heavy bias. Especially ones that they were too young for at release, which is a lot. Lots of bad takes for those ones. Like really really bad
meh 😑 do minecraft episodes
Jared, Ky, and Ben have fantastic chemistry and offer engaging banter before they dive right into thorough explorations of games. I’m someone who explores every corner and talks to every NPC, so this podcast is perfect for me. Thanks, y’all! Keep up the good work.
Wheather it be Get Rec’d or the main show, Play Along Pod is an excellent gaming podcast that makes a great use of the book club format for maximum enjoyment. Along with the excellent banter from hosts Jared, Ky, and Ben!
I definitely recommend checking them out!
Love the slow play format and discussions, it really makes it possible for the average person to feel included in the show. Jared, Ben and Ky are great hosts and always have fun conversations!
Such a unique premise for a gaming show, love it! Really gets the community involved by all playing a game together
I love the podcast. For someone with little to no experience in gaming I feel apart of the gaming experience through you all. I really enjoy the banter and chemistry you three have. It’s like I’m part of the play along family. It feels so comforting and familiar. I would highly recommend anyone to follow and listen.
I can across your podcast on Twitter and started listening on apple. It is a very chill podcast, the guys voices are great and the setting is relaxed. I have been enjoying it so keep em coming! I also have a gaming podcast on YouTube or any streaming app called Seven02 Gaming. If you check us out it we be awesome. Thanks guys!
I’ve listened to the show for the past few weeks and the concept is great. The book club of video games is a perfect way to do a podcast. Good chemistry among the hosts and great topics make every episode great to listen to!
The hosts have a great chemistry, and the unique book club format the show takes on is a great way to diversify your slate of video game podcasts.
If you have even a vague interest in any of the games covered here I strongly recommend a listen!
If you need some gaming tips on some of your favorite video games, check this podcast out! These are some solid reviews as well. These guys have a great dynamic and had me chuckling throughout my listening of them trying to figure out certain game quirks. Looking forward to seeing how they handle even more games!
