“So it turns out I have no idea how I actually found out about this podcast. I assume I was bored or drunk or something and messing around on iTunes, but there's no way to be sure. Anyways, about 2-3 weeks ago I was getting sick of grinding towards the end of Final Fantasy III on the DS so I figured while doing so I'd see what this "Derek and Don" thing sitting on my iPod was. I turned out being very impressed. The hosts review older RPGs in a casual style, and aren't obsessed with giving every aspect of a game number ratings or to try to come up with some objective scale to figure out which one is the "official" best. They play the games, and sort of give a step by step description of their experiences playing them. The off-topic banter they wander into at times can be hysterical as well, and often keeps me listening to a podcast about a game I'm not too interested in. It's a few laid back people talking about retro RPGs, and it ends up being a lot of fun for the listener as well.
I don't tend to stick with many podcasts but this is one I really do look forward to. Check it out.”Read full review »

Really entertaining and quite hilarious at times with...”Read full review »

“If you want straight forward and structured conversation about classic games, listen to the Retronauts. If you want hilarious banter mixed with some gaming and movie reviews, Derek and Don are your guys. These guys play well off of each other and have great chemistry.
