What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Fun podcast that balances levity with hard hitting questions and views on the industry. Sad to see it go

Bookwurmneo · Apr 2023

This review started as a long love letter, but i whittled it down until I realized the reason I couldn’t send it was because it didn’t have a title. But in a way, whittling down my takes is something this podcast has taught me. I’ve been listening to this podcast since episode 17. I’ve listened to many, many other podcasts because of this show. Not just ones that feature current/past hosts or guests, but their recommendations. When I had questions in life of how to gain foundational knowledge of engaging critically with games and media, how to develop leftist ideology and praxis, what it means to be a person who cares about making change when it seems so difficult - the people on this podcast had guidance. And through all of its seriousness, it makes people laugh, so deeply. Their intro banter and question buckets are so special. They provide running narratives, gags, and platforms for some of the most intriguing conversations about the most mundane topics. Their insight into video games is unmatched, and unflinching. The honesty of the takes and how they can develop or sharpen over time from each host is so insightful and refreshing. You can feel their energy when their having fun. It’s hilarious when the energy is punchy! I’ve not really engaged with any of the hosts. But they’ve been my friends thru some of the most difficult times of my life. I owe much of who I am to this podcast about video games, home repair, and food-based personality quorums. 5-Star Podcast. 5 Star runtimes. I have no episode recommendations because you should listen to the whole backlog. There’s a gem in each one. FCGH. Keep changing lives. Question: What’s everyone’s favorite style of beer? Extra points if you can give me an example (spoiler I know Rob loves stouts and one of his stories convinced me to try the founders barrel aged malt liquor and… I mean he hit the nail on the head.)

Jordy Joe Lee · Apr 2023

Love this pod for its weekly discussion of the latest games, and thanks to Way (more with a carrot) point Plus, they have many pods delving into all sorts of media. I especially recommend their spoilercasts on Riverdale, Prey, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Arcane, Natalie Watson’s Immortality, Chainsaw Man, Signalis, and Lost.

KeenIIDX · Mar 2023

I've been listening since this was called Vice Gaming's new podcast and have had a fantastic time through many shifts of website and crew alike. Curently, the pod has Patrick, a terrifyingly organized man with a long history covering the games industry; Rob Zacny, a man who has a vendetta against his appliances and a penchant for acquiring painfully expensive hobbies at a staggering rate; Cado, someone who is unfairly maligned for their perfectly fine opinions and excellent taste (the Cado supporters are out here, we see you friend!); and Ren, who will provide both all the little freak energy you need and profound philosophical analysis at a moment's notice. Do you want insightful discussion of the games industry, fantastic interviews, and more appliance talk, food opinions, and general chaos than you can shake a stick at? This is the pod for you. The username is one I made when I was 12, I no longer use Apple devices, but logged into my abandoned iTunes account on my PC to help the cause of 2000 reviews!
