United States6 years ago - Bias Thick as Cream
Miguel Delaney and Melissa Reddy are so painfully biased it’s impossible to take anything they say seriously. This degree of bias would cannot pass as acceptable in “mainstream media.” And yet they gave the audacity to cast moral aspersions about others associated with the game mostly to pander to fans of the established elite. Delaney isn’t a journalist worth his salt and needs to take a hard look in the mirror - he’s part of what’s driving the erosion of quality journalism.

Apple Podcasts5Amardeep131313United Kingdom6 years ago - Content is fine, sound quality terrible [update]
Update: Dec 2019
