“Hi Matthew, Taliesin, Laura, Sam, Travis, Marisha, Ashley and Liam and everyone that makes this show possible.
I listen to your show a lot. I’m behind, because life is a lot.
Tonight I got back home after my partners surgery and once I put her to bed, I tuned into listen to an episode and just...”Read full review »

“Been a listener from c1e1 on and that’s a rediculous amount of content. This group has taken dnd to a new level, achieving a balance of exciting gameplay and collaborative fantasy storytelling. ….And the occasional shopping episode. Thank you CR for keeping me alert, engaged and laughing while...”Read full review »

“I love CR and it was literally years before I knew what the faces behind the voices sounded like.
Lately they added ads. And it make me sad. The add breaks happen right after the into song and really is discordant. It knocks me out of the show and makes it unpleasant to listen to. The second...”Read full review »

“I’m completely new to the world of role playing games, but this podcast is so much fun. The characters are interesting, and the people playing them are even more fun. Best of all, you really feel like you’re part of this tight-knit group that gets to play together every week.”

“I LOVE critical role. I’ve been listening since literally C1E11 aired. But it’s gotten unbearable to listen to as a podcast. So much eating into the mics, crackling of bags, etc. it sounds trivial to people who don’t struggle with Hispanic, but it’s truly intolerable. Such a bummer.”

“My husband tried to get me to watch CR at the beginning of C3. I was like “why would I watch people sit around and play DnD?”
Then later we listened the podcast while the car, and for whatever reason I got hooked. I went back (bc I had been a half a year behind) and rewatched and listened to...”Read full review »

“Started playing D&D in 82 while stationed in Germany. Loved the game, I’ve been playing off and on since then. Found critical Role when I was looking for a pod cast to listen too.

“It’s three minutes of ads just to get to . . . Sam’s ad. More generic ads are now spread throughout the show at the most awkward moments, practically cutting people off mid sentence.
Also as others have pointed out, the podcast will often repeat sections of 15-20 seconds. It is jarring and...”Read full review »
