It’s another bijou two-hander this week, as Alice and I meet to pick over the remains of another week in PC gaming and get the latest updates on her dog and her neighbours, both of whom are making annoying noises.

Very entertaining podcast. Great craic being had by all. Never fails to bring a smile to my face. Top drawer dog walking material. Alice and her sidekicks keep the laugh coming. I nearly choked on my cornflakes when they began discussing Infantino.

Alice, Nate, Jonty and Brendy are podcasting gold. Any combination of the hosts is hilarious, informative and delightful, with their fondness for each other coming through just as strongly as their fondness for (most? Many?) video games. One of the few podcasts I’ll listen to as soon as a new ep drops - I now probably listen to it more than I actually have time to play video games… Thanks so much to all the team!
Lovely to have these goofballs podcasting together. Great games discussion and great mini improv bits
There used to be loads of video games podcasts which were fun/funny, sometimes controversial and then there weren’t. Times were dark. Turns out Alice and her gang were making casts all last year. The best thing about you discovering this show, dear reader, is that there’s already loads of episodes.

A candid, humorous roundtable focused on PC gaming and indie releases, industry moves, and broader culture surrounding games. Across episodes, hosts share sharp takes on price changes, platform strategies, and AI's impact on development, while weaving in personal anecdotes, pets, and running gags. The show blends industry analysis with banter, pop-culture tangents, and thoughtful recommendations, often featuring long-running jokes and a warm sense of camaraderie. It's probably especially appealing to listeners who enjoy witty critique from industry veterans, with a light, irreverent tone and a knack for linking gaming to wider tech and media trends.
