TALK THIS! is a biweekly podcast about video games hosted by Emma and Madelyn Paquette. Every show, they talk about two games- one old (pre-2007) and one new (within the last year or two). At the end of each show, Madelyn and Emma take the best elements from each game and mash them together into a brand new game idea.

Great show. Keep the content coming!
It seems like almost all of the big name video game podcasts are hosted exclusively by men. As a female gamer, I really enjoy listening to these two sisters talk about games, instead of the constant bro-talk of a lot of other shows. Plus, the game mash-ups at the end are super funny (I'd buy the one from episode two!).
This podcast is well produced and very funny. I am a super casual gamer and I am still able to follow along. The fact that the co-hosts are sisters makes their bickering even funnier. Plus, this podcast is a great way to find new games to play. Overall, I would highly recommend for anyone with even a passing interest in games or corny puns.
