United States3 months ago - Great Resource for Improving PoGo Experience
I started listening to Chris and Jamal about a year and a half ago and I must say, they do a great job working through the ins and outs of Wayspotters. With the topics covered in the podcast I’ve been able to build up my local park for Pokemon Go play all while staying within the guidelines provided by Niantic. Wayspotters is one of the podcasts in my rotation that I look forward to hearing every week. Big thank you to Chris and Jamal for putting out a great weekly podcast and solid resources fo... more
Apple Podcasts5KJdaMAN11United States4 months ago - Wow!
I have been wanting to get more involved in the Wayfarer side of the games and I am starting from the very beginning and feel like I am learning so much from Jamal and Chris! Thank you both so much for your hard work!!
Apple Podcasts5NéeNéeUnited States7 months ago - Wayfarer Wisdom with a Side of Chaos
Wayspotters is an absolute gem for anyone involved in Wayfarer. Jamal and Chris are a fantastic duo—knowledgeable, entertaining, and just the right amount of unhinged. I tune in every week not just to learn about nominations, policy updates, or what’s happening in the community… but honestly, because I live for the moments when Jamal picks imaginary fights with the Wayfarer Ambassadors. 😂 All in good fun. Remember what is a few meters between friends?
Apple Podcasts5JodilodiloUnited States10 months ago - Wayspotters Rock My Socks Off
I’ve been a listener of the Wayspotters Podcast for over a year now, and it’s been such a fun and informative ride. I especially enjoy the dad jokes segment and the Wayspot of the Week — they’re always a highlight. I’ve learned so much about how to properly nominate Wayspots and improve my chances of getting them approved. The insights and tips they share have made the whole process a lot easier and more enjoyable!
