  • Edit: 5 to 3 stars. Honestly.. it needs work.

    I've been listening for a long time, but now more irregularly. The Throwdown Show podcast is comprised of gamers offering commentary on news & also discuss topics sourced from listener questions. Some of the cast panel work in the gaming and/or art industry. They're cool!

    CRITICISMS: the show has a lot of coverage bias (ignoring a lot of news); discussions get very repetitive; some unnecessary arguments and cynicism; feedback gets forgotten.
