What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Sparrow, Jake, and Ryan are the best combination of guys to make this pod. All the newest news, some of the best insights, great background/understanding of Marathon/Bungie as a whole, plus great lore all in a fun package! (Make the Marathon Minute a longer segment, please, and keep up the good work guys!)

These guys have been covering the game for a while now and have been doing a great job. They’ve been covering the lore, gameplay, and progression of the game. Always entertaining and I can say the game’s community appreciates their efforts a lot. I’m excited to dive deeper into marathon more with this podcast.
