Very entertaining
Enjoyed the show, looking forward to future episodes.
Outstanding show
Both hosts have great personality and synergy. They don't beat around the bush and are knowledgeable. I knew I would be a subscriber after the first minute.
A Fan Girl and a Trek Nerd talk SWTOR- awesome!!!
I admit to being a fan of the hosts other work. Nichole on the D6G and the other host from his Trek show on the frog pants network.
Still I was very happy to find the show is fun, enjoyable and informative. The hosts have good chemistry and play well off each others beats.
A great addition to my list of swtor podcasts.
