“The only real insider (Ignacy) is rarely there now, and it’s just the other two guys with board game connections calling themselves “insiders.” It mostly is self promotion of their two reputations, and you can get just as much information subscribing to board game article newsfeeds.
I listened...”Read full review »

“They sold out to BGG. Buyer beware here! And the last year the quality has really taper off and unfortunetly downward. It was one of my favorite podcasts but the new format is so disjointed and choppy. End of an era sadly.
It was a good run.”

I can download 3 hour podcasts in 5 seconds, where this 1 hour one takes upwards of 2-10 minutes sometimes. This...”Read full review »

“The content is amazing but the guest are often much quieter than the presenter. The presenter also loves to shout too much. This makes listening to it murder on the ears. It’s a shame as it topics are great. Please fix it up if you can.”
