Can confirm: Tom is soothing
I have ADHD-related insomnia and listen to podcasts at night to distract my brain from all the weird random thoughts that keep me awake. It's hard to find the right combination of "interesting enough to keep my thoughts from wandering" but "not so exciting that it keeps me up." I have played all the Fallout games since Fallout 1 (except Tactics, but nobody played Tactics), most of them multiple times. So I know the lore pretty well, and that allows me to fall asleep listening to this podcast -- I don't feel like I have to worry too much about missing out on new information. That's not to say that I haven't learned new things from this podcast -- just that it tends to be small details that I missed or maybe forgot (it happens at my age). And that's where Tom/R0b0ts really shines. He has a knack for highlighting those little sparkly bits of story that are easy to overlook, and he also draws out the thematic connections that show up across the whole series. Those connections can be hard to see when I haven't been inside Vault 13 for twenty years...I do admit that sometimes I listen to the second half of an episode the next morning just so I can hear how R0b0ts wraps it all up. I found the Lorecast though Vault Boys WV, btw. Loved the show with Dave, and also the one with Duke from Out of the Vault. (I had to restart that one three nights in a row -- the duet of melodic baritones put me right out, but it was so darn interesting that I didn't want to miss anything.) If I have any criticism, it's that the sound clips from the games between segments sometimes wake me up. But that's my fault for using it as a sleep aid, lol. Great work, keep it up.Read full review »

This podcast has gotten me through my Fallout withdrawals when I have to be an adult on a daily basis. I throughly enjoy his content and explanations or the Fallout Lore. You can tell that he really enjoys it too. Make sure to check out his Elder Scrolls podcast as well!!

With such a busy schedule as a working college student I rarely have time to play games anymore. Fallout has always held a special place in my heart and with this podcast I can enjoy the lore while still going about my day. His voice is soothing to listen to and you can tell he takes time to...Read full review »
