Video Games · CheapyD, Wombat, Shipwreck
by CheapyD, Wombat, Shipwreck
Since 2005, the CAGcast has been a pretty silly podcast about video games and the topics that affect gamers. Hosts CheapyD, Wombat, and Shipwreck talk industry news, review games, supply game shopping tips and generally share too much of their personal lives. Giving new meaning to "Talk is Cheap", the CAGcast is the official Podcast of the video game shopping community, CheapAssGamer.com.

I started listening to this podcast when I was 14 and delivering newspapers. I remember loading it up on my iPod mini before going out for the day. I am now 29 and still listening. Love the talk of games and new tv shows as well as the personal anecdotes shared by the cast. Thank you for the consistency, laughs and recommendations (currently watching yellowjackets thanks to cheapy, great show btw). Keep up the good work. Also found it interesting that Wombat vacationed in my hometown of Lancaster lol. Been a great ride as long as y’all keep making them I will be listening! -Alex
This is the only podcast I consistently listen to, going on about a decade now. The guys are funny, give plenty of info about games, and parenting and movie recs are great too.
Great podcast that has adjusted to life as we all grow older with them. As a gamer with an 9 year old step daughter, I appreciate listening to a gaming podcast that understands the family side of life and how that now mixes into gaming life. The podcast can definitely get a little sciencey on occasion thanks to what’s going on in the world, but that’s life in 2021. Mostly just leaving this 5 star review to take away one of those 1 star political crazy reviewers. Eat it crazies. Great podcast guys. Keep it up.
The older I get, the more valuable I find the humorous and to-the-point critique this show provides when it comes to how one should spend their time and money. As a parent with less free time on my hands, the three hosts provide a relevant point of view when it comes to how evaluate worthwhile media. And they do it in a socially responsible yet humorous way every week. I can only hope to be the kind of parent Wombat is (and I guess Cheapy and Shipwreck are pretty good too). The show ages like a fine wine! LOVE the political talk!
I've tolerated the blatant politicizing for a long time but it has gotten to be too much. In particular is Wombat's virulent position toward anyone who disagrees with his stances on various subjects. His responses are almost universally demeaning and his rancor is thoroughly offputting. Personally, I couldn't care less what you're individual political leanings are when I'm listening to a video game podcast but I don't want to hear them regardless of where they fall on the spectrum. When I'm listening to a video game podcast I want to hear conversations about video games. It's not a particularly difficult concept to grasp or execute. However, since the CAGcast is failing to do so and has been for quite some time now, this mutli-year listener will not be listening any longer. You had a good thing going and you blew it.
I have been listening to this podcast for over 10 years. I remember the days when Shipwreck was just a guest, when Tai was just born,etc etc. In my personal life, I have been through a lot of ups and downs, lived in a few cities but every week I couldn’t miss the cagcast….until now. The show went from 3 funny/happy guys talking about games and their life’s for an hour to 3 guys complaining about movies and tv shows for 40 minutes(not sure why they watch so many things they hate),15 minutes of complaining about games/making fun of switch games,5 minutes of cheapy burping,15 minutes of Wombat complaining about far left/sjw stuff(his political views) & 5 minutes on Fortnite(hardcore games love to hear about fornite every week…..smh). Then you will hear “Breads done!” Well the toast is burnt, I hope they turn it around but I will never find out. On to find a new video game podcast. Thanks guys for all the memories.
