  • Can’t read aloud

    I don’t know which co host it is, but one of them can’t read aloud without sounding like a 5 year old. Even mispronouncing words while reading… This same host has mental pauses mid speech so often I thought my app was having an error.

    I’m a new listener an dig the show, but it’s like listening to one person who knows game history, an their friend who can’t read so well… literally.

  • Awesome podcast, been listening to the podcast for years (actually one of the first I discovered)! SEGABit's interviews are especially great. Overall I prefer Barry's smoother narration and execution, but together the guys make a nice team when going over SEGA history every few weeks. Would recommend.
