“I used to really love this podcast. It used to be a standard gaming podcast, about the latest games and sometimes about older games as well. It was a bunch of hosts that were a little older, "had jobs", and liked to still play and talk about games. It didn't have a perspective on...”Read full review »

“She was is the worst host in all podcast lamd! Jumped into the podcast today to hear Shawn say Amanda is in charge and has been doing a good job is so wrong! She has ruined GWJ! I have listened to this podcast for over 10 years. I can’t listen to it anymore because one particular newer host...”Read full review »

“Farewell to what was once my all-time favorite podcast. This used to be such a fantastic show back when Shawn Andrich was hosting. Guys… I agree with you on some of the issues you discuss, but give it a rest already!!! Gaming is my escape, my happy place. I don’t need my gaming discussion served...”Read full review »

“I started listening to this podcast about 2008. I donated to the site for years because of the podcast with Sean, Shawn, Julian and even Cory. Loved it till they passed the torch to Amanda. It's nearly unlistenable at this point. As another put it they have gone from friendly banter and...”Read full review »

“I have been a loyal listener for the past 5 years and will continue to be. They respect the listeners time, are mature (no maniac energy), and aren’t about jumping on the bandwagon in order to stay relevant.
This podcast got me through remodeling my previous home; much love 💕”

“This is a decent gaming podcast built around an excellent community. I’ve listened to it since 2007, so like many I’m disappointed that the former hosts have moved on. Shawn was the soul of the podcast, Sean the wit, and Julian the heart. Without them this is a serviceable podcast but for me...”Read full review »

“GWJ used to be one of my go-to podcasts. Then several years ago they took a hard-left turn and suddenly seemed incapable of discussing anything without brining politics into it.
Decided to check it out again recently, and if anything, it’s gotten worse. A shame.”

“The original GWJ podcast was my go to gaming podcast - felt like hanging out with old friends who also happened to be both funny and insightful about games. It was as comfortable to listen to as it was well-researched.
The new hosts have taken things in a directlion that doesn't work for me...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to this podcast for years. I was excited when Amanda stepped into a lead role. But over the past 2 years that “xfactor” the previous crew had, has dissipated. Don’t misinterpret, I think it’s still an informative podcast and it has moments(usually when someone from the original...”Read full review »

“Come on. I’m sure you will just make excuses why I was supposed to know what was going to happen after you beat the game. Or why it’s not a big deal. I should have known the ending. I’m not even going to write out which game it was since unless you spoil the endings of a lot of games it should be...”Read full review »

“Update: This podcast used to be the best gaming podcast around, I started listening to it in 2008, but I can’t be bothered to listen to it anymore. About a year and a half ago the host changed and with that almost all the regular co-host dropped off the regular program. The new crew is not bad...”Read full review »

So many discussions around video games are negative and toxic; thankfully this podcast is positive and nice. They go in depth with many topics and discussions surrounding all aspects of gaming....”Read full review »

I also very much appreciate how they discuss some of the politics of games-- games are not created in a void-...”Read full review »
