“Though the listenership isn’t as high as other retro video game podcasts (or YouTubers). It’s the podcasters podcast. A number of big time podcasters and YouTubers in the retro video game scene recommend Retro Game Squad as one of - if not their favorite retro podcast.
They are correct!”

“Updated review! Hands-down the best retrogames podcast out there. And that’s not flannel, it really, really is. If you've not listened to it before, or have done but only the once, I recommend listening from Episode 1 and going all the way through. It's fun, educational, and superbly...”Read full review »

“Because most of the talked about retro games are new to the casters it’s a great way to find out if they still hold up today. Where most other podcasts about retro games are presented by experts which most of the time have rose tinted nostalgia glasses on.
A wide range of genres and platforms...”Read full review »
