What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

After 200 episodes of his own podcast, Jeff is in a groove and it’s working. Episode 201 is EXACTLY the type of back and forth dialogue with a guest that I NEED to hear more of. On his own he’s entertaining and interesting, but with the right guest or co-host Jeff levels up and you can hear how engaged he becomes which brings out his insightful conversation style. Congrats on 200 episodes Jeff and I’m looking forward to at least 200 more.

MumboJumbalaya · Apr 2026

Jeff Gerstmann offers a truly unique perspective that can only come from someone who has been covering games for decades. He’s an invaluable source of insight, criticism, and knowledge, and he’s a quality human being who always brings a healthy supply of empathy, humility, and humor to the table. Tune in, and you’ll come away smarter, more informed, and generally happier after every episode.

I actually think Jeff is doing his best work in a long time here. Even for a solo show, he makes it work. It’s good. I like the “crotchety old man” side of his analysis. There is a lot of things that need legit criticism in the video game world and I don’t want to listen to someone that doesn’t point that out.

Nerdboxer · Feb 2026

Fantastically detailed and nuanced takes on a variety of gaming topics. I don’t always agree with all the takes, but I like hearing industry insight from someone who loves video games.

seattle_bioniko · Nov 2025

The shows episodes are hard to get through. Jeff desperately needs a full time cohost to help keep him from rambling on and on. Usually you can skip the first 30 minutes and not miss anything. I’ve been following Jeff a long time but I just can’t listen to the show anymore.
