  • Less hijinks- how old are these guys?

    Otherwise they follow the story but sometimes obsess over and not pick, like how the guy is hiding the dog.

  • Knowledgeable

    I listen to a lot of after show type podcasts. Mostly from the bigger media companies but they’ve all started to sound the same. Lot’s of praise. Not a lot of critical thinking. This show is different. You can tell these are real fans that are just really really knowledgeable and excited about the thing they love. I also dig that it’s not the same people for every show they recap. This channel brings in new people for every show which is really cool. If you’re looking for something new and insig... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Felicia Day & Wil Wheaton Bring Game Night Back with Con Ludo!: An Exclusive Interview | Couch Soup
Q: What is the ultimate pitch to someone on the fence about backing the Kickstarter?
If you're in, you're in for witnessing two longtime creators bring their energy to a collaborative format, with the promise of broader access for backers and a goal to reach a large audience by making the experience of playing and discussing games more communal and less gated by studios.
Felicia Day & Wil Wheaton Bring Game Night Back with Con Ludo!: An Exclusive Interview | Couch Soup
Q: How involved should the audience be in deciding games or rules for Con Ludo?
Both guests prefer keeping a clear framework and control over the core format while being open to audience enthusiasm and feedback, but they caution against letting the audience dictate every decision to maintain the show's flow and structure.
Felicia Day & Wil Wheaton Bring Game Night Back with Con Ludo!: An Exclusive Interview | Couch Soup
Q: Do you have a favorite type of game you personally enjoy the most?
Felicia Day shares a passion for resource management and worker placement games like Lords of Waterdeep and Agricola, appreciating the strategic depth and planning they require; Wil Wheaton adds a strong preference for card-based and lighter, highly replayable games, describing Flip Seven as unexpectedly fun.
Is Holly Wheeler the Key to Defeating Vecna in Stranger Things 5?! 🔥 | Watching Now Podcast
Q: What did you think of these first four episodes of Season 5?
I think I'm going to go with seven and a half out of ten. It wasn't ideal in first season, but I give it that score because it's a good midway point, obviously.
Strange New Worlds Episode 7: What is Starfleet?
Q: Do you think any of this writing has anything to do with the writers' strikes that happened?
Yes, it seems to take a toll on the quality and execution of episodes post-strike, highlighting the need for strong writing in the limited episode format.
