There seem to be so few podcasts that dedicate the time and effort to their content and community the way that Minnmax does.

Absolutely nothing comes close to this podcast when it comes to thoughtful gaming discussion. It’s positive and analytical in a way that nothing else is. I listen every week and it’s always the best gaming content I consume every week.

I started listening to Game Informer back in the day and once MinnMax started out of it I followed the beginnings and fell even more in love with the crew.
I had a break with gaming so I stopped listening for a while and after a while I got the Suggestion to listen to MinnMax again and fell in love with it again. I love the enthusiasm every single one has for small niche games.

The latest gaming news, thoughts on latest releases and community questions, this podcast has it all. Ben Hanson is an amazing host and his humour/chemistry with the cohorts that join him on his podcast will always make you smile. No matter what I’m doing each week, this is one gaming podcast I make sure I listen to.

It’s truly a feat when you are a podcast with 9 regular contributors and I enjoy most of your opinions throughly! Because of this podcast, I’ve spent more money than ever on lostincult and iam8bit. You’ve made me feel more plugged in than ever to the gaming zeitgeist. Most recently, with the ‘best art of 2025’ segment in the MM GameAwards, I took note of almost all your obscure recommendations (I don’t live in the US), and will watch the 2hrs 1000 players civilisation simulation. Thank you! Inst... more
