  • Really good

    I really like this podcast because of how long each episode is I can just be doing whatever and just be listening to this podcast and just listen to one episode while I’m doing it unlike there are some podcasts I have to go to the next episode every time I finish one, but for this I just can listen to one and never have to change it. Also I really like all the different video game things. I’m a really big gamer and yeah, I really like this podcast.
