Customer Reviews
Superb podcast
Excellent all-around GW podcast. The audio quality and structure of the show are top-notch. The hosts go into much depth on many interesting topics while communicating in a clear, concise, and positive manner. They also mix in a good amount of fun and humor. Keep up the great work guys, the effort is appreciated.
Entertaining Podcast.
I enjoyed listening to this Podcast, the sound quality was good and the hosts were friendly and entertaining. I like the fact that this podcast will cover different games rather than just the standard Warhammer 40k and Fantasy. The contents of the first show were solid and I look forward to future episodes.
A really impressive and entertaining piece of work...
Luke and JJ deliver an impressive series of episodes speaking at length about Warhammer Fantasy, 40K, LOTR, ...AND (wait for it, wait for it) the Specialist Games. The first thing I noticed after my first 5 hours of listening was, I was genuinely entertained throughout. World's End Radio is presented in a simple, yet effective and consistent structure without lulls in content or any slowing of pace. Production and content values come across very well prepared and thought out. Two thumbs up for a really great listen!
