I wish that I could find the first 50 episodes, but everything I’ve listened to from KH2 onwards has been really enjoyable, very funny, and I’m sure I’ve been annoying my...”Read full review »

“I love Kingdom Hearts. The games are so twisty and turny, sometimes confusing, but at the same time amazing. It’s wonderful to hear Shannon explain the game as it unravels. I think she does a great job. Of course there might be small details left out. But it’s Kingdom Hearts. A game full of...”Read full review »

“Jake and Shannon have really good chemistry and it’s fun to hear a passionate person explain this weird game series to someone eager to listen.

People who are familiar with the story can look forward to seeing Jason’s reaction while people who don’t know anything can relate to his reactions.
