What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Hosts with varying (often diametrically opposed) perspectives, high levels of rigor in reviewing, a good sense of humor, and legendary (AG Cook!!) guest selection- what more could you ask for? Highly recommended.

3 chill, funny guys talking about indy RPG modules. They have open and honest feedback on the art, layout, content, and what will probably work well at the table. They each bring their own unique perspective. Banter is ridiculous in the best way possible. S tier podcast all the way. #folks

DavidL… · Aug 2026

This is a fantastic show with insights from industry and indie professionals that always manages both to make me consider a hobby I love in new ways and to make me laugh. The hosts have great chemistry, and Brad, Yochai, and Sam each bring a unique perspective to each discussion. No matter how far behind on podcasts I am, this one always jumps to the top of my list when a new one comes out.

This podcast is great. I’ve been listening for a few months and enjoying it more with each episode. Today I finished listening to them do an abbreviated, live, very unserious play of a modified version of The Chair and I learned so much in spite of (perhaps because of?) how fast and loose they were playing. It was hilarious yet educational. Brad kept the pace moving by asking for quick simple inputs. What a blast. Thanks guys!
