Customer Reviews
Needs more reviews dammit!!!
The giantbombcast brought me here ans that live pax panel podcast was the BEST.
Great podcast
This podcast is really fun to listen to. Keep it up.
Enjoy it a lot, but the audio (ironically) needs improvement
Listen to every episode and enjoy them. One issue I have is that many of the interviews can be hard to listen to because many of the folks must be VERY far away from the microphone. The roundtable discussion in Episode 22 is a perfect example.
