Amazing weekly pod
It’s not even close.
I like MinnMax
I've been a listener and patreon supporter for several years now. I always look forward to the weekly episode, bonus podcast, and all the extra content that I can keep up with! Love the cohort structure, overall good vibes and tone, and energizing discussions about games and things happening in the industry.
The content might be interesting, but it’s almost impossible to get through an episode without losing count of how many times the hosts say “like.” We’re talking multiple times per sentence — “like, I think, like, the thing is, like…” It becomes so distracting that whatever point they’re trying to make gets completely buried.

The show often vacillates between sharp analysis and breezy banter, creating a cozy-but-insightful atmosphere that appeals to listeners who want thoughtful commentary about games as products, communities, and cultural moments. Noteworthy strengths include a wide rotating cast of perspectives, a willingness to critique indust... more
