“I listened to three Dice and Dialogue episodes about Monster of the Week; while the 4 hosts are clearly experienced and have good ideas, they’re hard to listen to. Alex and Brandon were thoughtful; but Ian interrupted a lot-- often to make juvenile or inside jokes -- and was hard to understand...”Read full review »

“The topics and advice the three hosts cover are great, and they have introduced me to a lot of third-party content that I have loved.
The hosts themselves seem to have a lot of unresolved animosity between them. Justin and Ian in particular are snarky to each other and bicker frequently on the...”Read full review »

“I literally started listening to this on a whim. I love the Dungeon Dudes and saw that they were on the show. I was fully engaged and amused the whole time and didn’t even realize that I had been listening for 80 minutes! I will be listening to more.”

“Honestly, what can I say? You guys have a serious amount of good ideas that constantly inspire me to create a new character or try a battle tactic or be more descriptive without taking it over the top. I enjoy what I have listened to and it is great that I have so much more to go through.”

“Awesome podcast to listen to if you enjoy tabletop role playing games in general. Focus mainly on 5E but can adapt things to other editions. They have awesome ideas and various new monsters that keep veteran players on their toes and not know exactly what to expect from similar monsters.”
