What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The Long War podcast is for mature listeners. Notice how I didn’t say adults because my hands-down favorite podcast of all time has no qualms calling out the whiners and idiots of our beloved hobby in between covering the highlights of what’s going on in Tabletop gaming. A tirelessly interesting and hilarious podcast that invites you to the Warhammer Kool-Kids Table, you’ll feel like you’re one of the guys before too long. I always interrupt whatever I’m listening to to catch up on the latest episode. Tune in to their multi-streaming pregame show or enjoy the host’s independent content for more awesomeness and remember that you can’t fool the Djinn!

EladrithYnneas · Nov 2022

This show is very entertaining. Also I would say it is the best place to learn about what to put in your list, and what to avoid. My favorite part is when they say "I'm no math-scientist, but..". The show does have some 'not ready for primetime' language. That doesn't really bother me, but I still recognize it as an overall flaw in general for a show. I don't want to bring it down though. It is definitely in the top five Warhammer podcasts.

BDollar · Dec 2021

Love the sort of investigative reporting on cheating scandals, GW, and tournament scene. One minor point - one of them very audibly vapes throughout the shows; it may not be noticed by them but perhaps do it off mic as it is distracting.

alsjfktkebjgbt · Apr 2021

From GW new releases to Army strategy talk - done with humor - it’s for adults who don’t mind frank speech, some crude humor and a scandalous smattering of Profanity with their great hobby and tactics discussions
