Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been listening to Adam’s show for at least 3 years now and I honestly wish I had found it sooner. This show has filled so many hours of my life with great laughs, nostalgic flashbacks, and smiles that only used to happen at the school yard or during a session of couch co-op. If you are a retro gamer, this podcast is for you. If you’re a modern gamer… THIS PODCAST IS ALSO FOR YOU! Hysterical gaming reviews, trips down memory lane and I can’t tell you how many great games that I discovered and fell in love with by listening to this show. No gaming history or politcal bs… just gaming talk by gamers. If I could give 6 stars I would. Adam also has a Patreon with 5 shows and it’s honestly the cheapest subscription I have yet the one I use the most.

This is buy and large my favorite podcast I’ve ever listened to. This dude might be one of the hardest working individuals in this industry I’ve ever seen and just nonstop churns out content for his community. $5 a month literally gets you FIVE incredible podcasts every week of top tier quality entertainment. Adam Blank is an absolute superstar.

Love this podcast. I have a very stressful, solitary job and this is my go to listen at work daily. A regular source of joy with a great combo of nostalgia and comedy, id listen to this guy review paint dry at this point. 20/10, take my money

I usually listen to automotive and hip hop based pods, but i found this pod recently and it’s phenomenal. I started from episode 1 and have been picking thru episodes of games i played myself as im in the same age group as the host so the experiences are very similar. I hope this keeps going by the time i catch up haha!

This show used to be awesome - enjoyable to listen to, funny, and a great way to relive fond memories of your youth. Plenty of video game podcasts are cringeworthy in how nerdy or bad they are - this felt like listening to your buddy from childhood talk about gaming.

As the show has grown in popularity it’s lost that touch - and it has nothing to do with Adam running out of childhood memories and experiencing old games for the first time.

Instead, Adam has become the very thing he swore he wouldn’t be - supported by ads and only focused on patreon supporters. It’s ironic listening to him in episode 50 say there would never he ads - now there are an annoying amount.

He also used to regularly engage with his audience through letters and comments. Now, if you aren’t paying him money through patreon, you don’t exist - if you try to send an email or a comment, even a supportive one, you’ll be ignored. Paying customers only please!

It’s totally fine to make money off your creative endeavors. But don’t be inauthentic and act like a man of the people when you only care about people sending you money…you’ve become a corporate/professional podcaster. At least own it.

I love retro gaming as a podcast subject, and while this one has potential, it's runtime is bloated with 3 ad reads in the first 15 minutes. There might be more, but by the last one, I had to turn off.

There are other issues as well, namely the guy sounds like a knock-off 2008 YouTuber with these repetitive and inane rants, immaturity, and a nasally voice that grates my nerves.

The one plus is that the host makes decent arguement, and if his delivery wasn't so poor I might have listed to more.
