  • Just a lovely podcast

    I’ve been listening for a couple of years now and the best way I can describe this is just an hour of listening to four friends having a great conversation and a catch up about the games, tv, films and more that be they’ve been enjoying. It’s really welcoming and warm and I just want to join the conversation.

  • Such a wonderful thing to listen to each week

    This podcast stands out for me in terms of being one of the most relaxing things to listen to -the timbre of the hosts' voices, the calming sound effects, and the excellent chilled chat about a wide variety of topics makes it a pleasure to listen to each week.

    Highly recommendend for a more general gaming/geeky style of podcast that feels like you are just catching up with some friends over tea - thank you gents, and keep it up!

  • An excellent gaming podcast

    One of my favourite podcasts. A podcast about all types of gaming, not just console.

    4 main hosts whose friendship/ banter includes you right from the start. A thoroughly enjoyable listen (and watch on one episode).
