  • Keep up the (great) work

    I’ve been listening since the launch of the Switch, and it’s always a laugh and a good time. With the diverse tastes of the guys, I get introduced to a lot of games that are generally overlooked.

Thanks for all the work and dedication - much appreciated!

My main complaint is the show is now too long for my regular rotation. If it was an hour or an hour and a half I could keep up but I stopped listening when there were so many near 3 hour podcasts. Same reason I stopped listening to Rohan years ago. Still love the hosts I just can’t keep up with the show. All the episodes are on my backlog but I occasionally put a... more
