I’m sure that they have fun interviewing their peers, but no one wants to listen to an hourlong podcast of someone shilling their own product, and that’s what this podcast has become. Wow, the person who wrote this magazine thinks it’s really good. How interesting. I’m tired of my life filling up with ads, and I’m not going to listen to them in long form.
Edit (july 2025): it has become clear that the show as it existed is no more. Very much a shame. You can listen to Gaz at least on Unconventional GMs, where he is as clever as ever.
While you still can, partake in

When The Smart Party was Baz and Gaz, their episodes were solid gold, each and every time. Whether listening to Gaz being sour and brilliant about every aspect of gaming history and the party and thrust of real-world gaming problems, or listening to Baz sounding like the most charming bloke in Europe, as well as one of the most insightful chaps in gaming, every episode was unique and memorable and insightful.
The Smart Party began relying too heavily on guest interviews for my liking, although... more
Pour yourself a double measure and join Gaz and Baz’s fireside chat. The Smart Party is a mix of interviews and thematic deep dives into the art of RPG, particularly from the perspective of a GM. What works so well is their different RPG tastes and how these illuminate scenario design, one-shots and the art of GM’ing. A great take on the UK RPG scene from two veterans.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
