  • “This Guy” should be for John!

    Hands down the best podcast out there if you want to dive into the rabbit warren that is 40k lore, but be warned, you’d better be ready for recons! Absolutely buzzing for the upcoming Squats focus, can’t wait to see where it goes (still pining for Second Edition and Epic 40k though!).

    Brad’s performance seems inversely proportional to how much sleep he’s had, the less, the better, though things can slip a bit when they’ve had to do multiple re-records (looking at you, John 👀). Brilliant stuff... more

  • Great Lore Podcast with Knowledgeable Hosts

    I love this podcast! I’ve just caught up (listened to 105 episodes) and it really is one of the best lorecasts out there. One of the hosts takes the lead on the lore aspects whilst the other is a professional at the tabletop game which leads to interesting discussions about lore vs tabletop.

    They take things quite seriously which is a nice change from other lorecasts which tend to be wackier at the expense of content.

    Overall, a really informative and interesting podcast!
