We couldn't let March pass us by without doing our annual Journey debrief! We're well over a decade of debriefs on this game and it's very much become a symbol in my year. Forget about New Year's Eve; my year hasn't truly begun until I've made the tr... more
Won't someone think of the children!? This week on the EXP Podcast we open up a loot box and discover both misguided and righteous regulatory attention. And here I was hoping for a Switch 2.

The only podcast I’ll religiously listen to without ever missing one - 7 years and counting
Very interesting and in-depth podcast about games, game communities, game mechanics, and the game industry. I look forward to this every week.
I’ve been listening for about a year and a half now, and I’ve got to say these guys are criminally underrated.
Their debriefs, even if I don’t agree with many of them, are very well thought out and often lead to you having a better understanding about what works/what didn’t in a game. For example, their breath of the wild debriefs were incredibly funny and engaging, and underscored what made that game so special.

EXP is always a treat to listen to. At the start of the episode, I don't know whether I get a thoughtful review, a nostalgic trip, or a hilarious debate, but it is always a good time.
I've been listening for I think a couple of years now. Always fun and insightful, the kind of podcast where I wish I could sit down with the hosts and continue the discussion after the episode. Also a good way to get the gist of what's happening in some of the genres and consoles that I'm not active in.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

This show centers on in‑depth, thoughtful discussions about video games, gaming culture, and industry trends. Across recent episodes, topics include regulatory questions around monetization and consumer protection, hardware and platform shifts, game design debates, and the evolving ways players experience and discuss games. The hosts blend clear analysis with humor, often focusing on why certain mechanics, narratives, or business moves resonate with players and what they mean for developers and families alike. A notable strength is the “serious but not humorless” tone, which makes dense topics approachable without sacrificing insight, and a consistent focus on design, culture, and the broader impact of gaming.
