For years they have consistently had the most interesting and knowledgeable industry discussions I have ever found anywhere. Nothing really compares.
They are pretty funny too.
I’ve been listening to these guys since I was in high school in 2005-06. They have always been fun and insightful to listen to for video game coverage. It sucks when you think about it that a lot of the old crew is gone, mostly doing their own things. This has been my favorite podcast since they left giantbomb. Always a good time even though I have to skip the political talk from time to time.
Just sad.
Been listening to the podcast for a long time but they can’t help but always taking it political. I don’t really care about politics so I just skip ahead. But when they called a whole company racist that was the end of that. If the tables were turned I’m sure they would talk about how terrible it is to do that.

They frequently cover co-op and indie titles, hardware trends, platform shifts, and market dynamics, often weaving in sponsor reads and community questions.
