MTGGoldfish Podcast

One of the few podcasts I make sure to tune into every week, the goldfish crew is always a blast listening to. They could talk just about anything and I’d be captivated. I am personally a big fan of Richard’s wild takes, Crim’s positivity in the face of negativity, and Seth’s oftentimes balanced takes between the two. It’s truly great show, and I highly recommend.

The content is great and the podcast as a whole is informative, wholesome, etc. One thing though..the host, Seth, does this weird podcast/stream voice that is very hard to listen to. 4 pitch changes in his voice in a single sentence like a 2am infomercial. Trying WAY too hard to “sound” like a podcaster - and I don’t think it’s his legitimate way of speaking. Just speak normally and professionally and the podcast comes away in a much better place.

I started playing a long time ago(Ice Age/Tempest-ish) and was a dumb little kid so i never really knew much about different formats and was more just collecting cards and playing with my friends who didn’t know any more. Then I come back to the game many years later and it’s pretty intimidating to show up to an LGS and try to play with so many more cards, formats, etc. This podcast has been great in helping me learn about basic stuff, like I didn’t even know what Standard or Modern even meant, so to hear about it being talked about gives me helpful context to not feel so out of the loop. Thanks guys, I really enjoy you all.

I really enjoy this podcast. It feels like sitting down after FNM with my friends and having a rounded conversation about the game as a whole. This show is great way to stay up to date on the happenings of MTG while listening to your favorite content creators have a relaxed discussion.

These guys have really lost their way. I have been listening to them for years and the podcast is truly meant for a small circle of Magic players. Shorthand names, off topic conversation, and random arguments about combos that are never explained are so common place that if you are new to Magic or a casual player this podcast will not help you. Not only do they not inform or explain well, but they also spend countless hours gabbing about the “politics” of Magic. Currently they have been talking over and around each other about some online feedback about Mark Rosewater, have not even started talking about Magic yet… I think players like the members of this podcast (the German guy excluded but they got rid of him) are helping to spread a toxic mentality within this game itself. 10/10 would NOT recommend!

This used to be an amazing podcast that I would look forward to every week. It has certainly declined over time. At this point I find Richard to be intolerable, and struggle to listen to the podcast because of the negativity he seems to enjoy brining to show. It’s a shame that someone who doesn’t like the game anymore, loves to spend so much time talking about it.
