4.7 out of 5 stars from 29 ratings
  • Good show.

    I really enjoyed Destin’s work at IGN. Loved listening to him on Unlocked for all the those years. I was hoping that this would have a similar vibe to that. But, unfortunately it’s hard replicate the magic he had with Ryan. Kinda comes across as old man talks to Tik Tokers. No offense Destin. I’m old too. I think that this show will only get better with time.

  • Destin’s great

    Always liked Destin; always thought he was a good host and podcaster - even if some of his takes can be a bit wild and fun 😉. Only a few eps in and he’s had some great guests. Def recommend giving it a listen.
