  • Could we get a Nintendo Nostalgia episode?

    Hello again, thanks for doing a World Cup section. I was wondering if you guys could do an episode on the Legend of Zelda series? I just got the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild and it is amazing! I just beat Waterblight Ganon. The game literally takes my breath away every time I load it up. Highly recommend, though I have heard Tears of the Kingdom is also really cool. thanks and love the podcast. Please put this on Ten News snaps.

  • Great podcast!

    This is an amazing podcast and it is great for kids. I would definitely recommend. It helps you understand what's going on in the world in a way that’s gentle enough for kids, sharing serious topics without overwhelming them. They also keep it fun with their characters, stories, and games.

    I would love it if you gave a little more information though. I often end an episode feeling like it didn’t quite finish, but besides that, it’s an amazing podcast.
