“I came to the Old School Blues being a fan of Roll For Initiative which is a great 1E AD&D podcast. What makes OSB my favorite podcast while being focused on OSR games they don't limit themselves to only the OSR. They have broaden to include Palladiums TMNT and other games. I like that they tend to have a rotating host list which allows folks that appreciate the games being discussed to be on the specific show. I've never been a fan of podcasts that will discuss a new game and it's clear that the hosts are unfamiliar with it and sometimes uninterested, or both. OSB has avoided that trap.
The biggest issue with the show is the length. Most episodes are around 30 minutes which, for me, is 30 minutes too short. The episodes tend to not move beyond surface level discussion due to the time limit. If they moved the show to an hour they could include longer segments, deeper discussions, etc.
I really enjoy listening and have already recommended the podcast to my gaming group even though GURPS is criminally under represented.”
