Great companion podcast to listen to when I’m not able to watch YouTube.
I don’t always agree with him, but I do appreciate his honesty about the games and the industry. Great podcast and YouTube channel.
Opinions, opinions, opinions.
Luke is a real charactor and he brings that to everything he does. His style is stream of thought so you really get what he thinks. I really appreciate that, and importantly when he's critical - he's never mean spirited. He's a joy to listen to and has great insights and perspective on games that has helped me a lot as I got into the hobby.
Great podcast , with critical analysis. Awesome one man show. No wasted time , talks about the things we love, games

The show centers on candid, opinionated discussions about board games and the broader tabletop hobby. The host shares bold takes on modern releases, classics, conventions, and industry trends, often weighing mechanics, themes, and personal experiences. Episodes mix reviews, top lists, event impressions, and reflections on ratings, with a distinctive, unapologetic voice that combines sharp humor and deep knowledge of the hobby. A notable thread is the tension between rapid release cycles and the perceived personality of games, alongside a strong emphasis on community and live-event culture in the UK scene.
