“Over a year ago, I found myself on the floor of the Bogota airport totally unable to sleep through the night. I had downloaded a random collection of podcasts, and so at 3am, I decided to give this “Idle Thumbs” show a shot. I’m so glad I did — I found a smart, jovial show full of rad gamer folks challenging my ideas about games and what they could be. I promptly became a regular listener (or “reader”). Over the months, I found myself drawn especially to Danielle’s commentary - she brought her adventurousness playing any and all games to the show along with her unique perspective which which I could absolutely identify, as somebody who enjoys both playing and thinking about games, and as a queer trans woman who has often felt outside AAA developers' definition of “gamer”. When I heard Danielle was leaving Idle Thumbs, I was genuinely sad… until I heard about her new show with Rob Zacny. And it’s great. I mean really, really great. As much as I love the feeling of hanging out with the whole Idle Thumbs crew in my weekly listens, Idle Weekend combines a real sense of Danielle and Rob as gamers and people with really smart, insightful, challenging analysis. I always leave a listen more excited to play games, and also with a sense of like “hey, that was really fun!!” Especially if you’re somebody who, for one reason or another, has felt like video games are for some other demographic than yourself, you should absolutely give the show a shot — I’m so happy I turned to Thumbs to keep me half-awake on that cold terminal floor in Colombia (seriously, what an awful layover), and I’m so excited for Danielle and Rob’s fantastic work on Idle Weekend. Try it out, really!”Read full review »

“Games can be a hobby, they can be a passion, they can be a career. Whatever they are to you I doubt you'll come across a more intelligent and thought provoking discussion of games, gaming culture and what they mean in the wider world.”Read full review »

“As a fan of both Danielle and Rob in their other podcasts, I was expecting to like this cast. It is even better than I expected! Love it and keep up the great work you two.”
