I've listened to DLC for over 5 years and the podcasters not only have great content but they are great people too. Highly recommend taking a listen
doctrDNA · Aug 2026
This is one of the best podcast out there. The insights are always thoughtful and often profound. A running theme here is the promotion of the wholesome aspects of gaming.
If you cannot get over these guys calling out the obvious reality of how politics affects gaming then you’re probably too entrenched in your political ideology to sit back and enjoy a stellar podcast.
festac77 · Apr 2025
DLC is my go to podcast when I’m taking a walk with my dog, driving in the car or just need to relax. I don’t game too often but there is something about their great chemistry and positive attitude that keeps me coming back. As a podcast producer myself, I can tell that a lot of effort goes into the production of each episode and it shows. It is definitely a step above. Keep killing it Jeff and Christian.
My Name is Matt? · Apr 2024
The main show is a great mix of insight, banter, perennially solid guests, and Christian and Jeff have a good sense of when to stick to the program and when to let things go off the rails for a little bit in the name of a good conversation. Lana is an indispensable addition to the Wednesday show and the book club, they put out a ton of bonus content, and having kept the show in my feed for years at this point, it’s like hanging out with old friends for literal hours week.

Been a Patreon member for years and listened even longer, but the random hard left discussion points and extreme Trump hate are making it hard to listen to. 5 star if they stop the politics or if you are a lefty.
kamitsuyo · Nov 2024
Long time listener from the very beginning. Over the last year or so the show has gotten too influenced by politics and social issues, with story of the week focused on related news and taking a larger chunk of most episodes. It used to be more about the games. Maybe hosts are at a stage of life where they don’t have as much time for games and their priorities on what’s important has changed.
