“Gen z gamers should avoid this podcast - there is no gender baiting, no race baiting, no whining about devs crunching then whining about delayed releases, and no extended mental health diatribes. Ryan is one of the last standing true games journalists, and interviews with professional focus and...”Read full review »

“What’s the easiest way to ruin long form dialogue? Adding in sound effects randomly with no concern for the conversation. Check the Jason Schrier interview to understand what I’m talking about.”

“One of the only IGN podcasts to feature NO microphone blasting. My ears thank the geniuses behind Ryan Mccaffrey’s bar/studio because you figured out a way to keep your gawkward hosts from clanging their flailing bone-sleeves into the microphone at every opportunity. Now to go re-engineer any...”Read full review »

“This is by far my favourite podcast, as it blends two of my interests: videogames and business.
The interviews are deep and detailed and bring anecdotes and stories that we usually don’t hear elsewhere.
The interviewer clearly does his homework and is always well prepared.
Really interesting!!”
