Customer Reviews
Excellent Podcast - Entertaining and Informative
Just listened to their first podcast and it sounded great. Great information - must listen! I've listened to the D6 Generation for years and enjoy Nicole's segment "Total Fan Girl", so I had to check this out. One last comment - I'm a GeekDad (but still found this entertaining) but I'm wondering - where is the GeekDad podcast?
Fantastic Start
Great quality and content right out of the gate. Looking forward to more.
Family orientated gaming podcast
