“I listen to dozens of hours of video game podcasts a week so when I found this from IGN’s NVC I was so delighted! I really enjoy Kat’s takes, other hosts I was introduced to here are awesome, and the focus on one of my favorite genres to play was the cherry on top. I won’t dwell on this point, because it’s not the point of the podcast, but I really appreciate the LGBT+ inclusive atmosphere - just casually mentioning playing with a partner, understanding basic pronouns, mentioning game/developer/IP issues others might gloss over, etc. It’s just not commonplace I hear that where I’m from, but it’s very nice. BUT Kat please work on being… nicer? Or make a little more room for others is a better way to put it? I didn’t notice until this podcast over other appearances (and I get that this is your podcast specifically), but you very frequently interrupt or railroad others. Frequently dismissive of others opinions too. I get that you’re spicy and can argue your point, but sometimes it seems a little pushy or hateful. A podcast is 1% improv and vibing on each other and when you say ‘no that’s not the case at all’ instead of asking someone why they think that it can get frustrating to listen to. Now listening back to NVC I bite my cheek sometimes listening to you interrupt Peer, the grand Poobah of IGN (which I love thank you for all the hard work there). Of course he values your opinion, and listeners do to. Sometimes just let others share their ideas while you hold on to yours just a bit longer. Still great show and content, keep it up.”
