    The enthusiasm and focus on what's going well, as well as insider interviews, is what made this podcast top-tier. You will be missed! If you are looking for a female friendly Guardian guild with a focus on friendship and endgame, look us up on Sunrest, Order of Asmodeus. Thanks again, get well soon!

    A fine Rift podcast, informative with some nice interviews that, while a tad deferential, do ask the questions I would ask myself. Could do with an injection of humour but don't worry, the show isn't presented by dour obsessive geeks either.

  • Lacking Objectivity

    This is as close as you can come to a podcast produced by Trion. What does this mean? You will never hear anything overtly negative about RIFT so beware. Yes they will mention issues like account hacking, balance, and lack of content. But, they will always spin them in as positive a manner that befits a podcast recorded with Trion Employees. If you are looking for constructive teardown of what Trion is doing right or wrong, this is not the podcast for you.

  • Not an interesting podcast

    I'm an avid listener to gaming podcast including ones dedicated to a single game like this one and I have to say this podcast is bottom tier. If you are looking for basic news about Rift then this podcast will give you that.. although you could just read up on the news and save yourself 45 minutes. What really bothers me about this podcast is they don't voice the community of players and they often have the chance to sit down and talk with Trion people. It's mostly them asking a benign question,... more

  • Best Rift podcast!

    This should have more reviews, c'mon people! I love this podcast! Great guests, great info! My ONE complaint would be that the levels can get a little too quiet/loud between mic's and should be normalized. Other than that A+++! Keep up the great work, and long live Rift!

    Personally, I think you ladies make a nice show. But for those that disagree, check out "player vs rift" here on iTunes. A different feel.
