  • Come on lads stick to the politics

    I wish they would stick to the politics and stay away from games.

    I tune in every week excited for another classic woke rant, but it feels like every week they’re bringing up games again and again instead :(

    Stick to the politics!

  • Cracking Pod

    James and the gang somehow manage to talk absolute nonsense and be insightful about games—sometimes in the same sentence. It’s like eavesdropping on your funniest mates arguing about what console is best, but with fewer pints and more sound effects. A cracking listen. 5 stars, even for David.
