“Iβm a huge fan of Jeremy Parish, he knows his games and comes across as a genuine down-to-Earth dude. I also enjoy listening to Stuart Gipp and his dry sense of humour. When either of these guys are presenting, you know itβs going to be a great episode!”

“Iβve listened to the various iterations of this podcast since itβs inception, however the current lineup is increasingly dour and seem to have a very high opinion of themselves. I even support the Patreon. The most recent episode on gaming in 2004 featured a 15 minute intro on how their political...”Read full review »

“Itβs amazing how far this show has fallen. I was a listener through the various iterations. The new (British?) hosts are terrible. I wish Jeremy and Bob had their own show, even if it was only a few times a year. If you are jumping into this show now, just avoid it. You are better off going back...”Read full review »

“This podcast is so frustrating to listen to these days. The latest episode was about Doom Clonesβ¦.and they spent 90% of the time just talking about Doom itself. There are hundreds of clones but you only mentioned the main ones that was built off of the build engineβ¦but skipped games like...”Read full review »

“Used to be one of my favorite gaming podcasts. Older episodes like the dragon quest one where very involved and made me feel Ike I had an understanding of the game. The new hosts seem to ramble about how great things are, and while I feel their excitement I often walk away from an episode not...”Read full review »

“I think itβs great that Jeremy wanted to keep the podcast going and invited fresh voices to the table. I do think that the show is currently getting the kinks out of the new format but I think it still is an enjoyable listen.
One slightly negative thing I will say, the episodes where they talk...”Read full review »

“Used to be very interesting. In depth research about creators of a game, market conditions, info on marketing and release etc.
Nowdays most of the podcasts are βwe played this game back then, let us tell you what we liked/didnt likeβ. They are like casual reviews and not like mini documentaries....”Read full review »

“The current product is near unlistenable. A lot of negativity and condescension (but thatβs the majority of video game commentary). However, the need to inject political or cultural viewpoints into each episode corrupts the discourse. The good news is there is hundreds of episodes. Simply go back...”Read full review »

“I hadnβt thought of this podcast in years, but it came up on another podcast. Tried listening to 3 episodes and they were just negative and seemed uninterested in the topics. There is also repeated ableist language. Just gross. Iβll pass.”

“One star. You are wrong about the Mario movie, and the Minions too. They are great! This show used to be good many years ago with guests like Shane Bettenhausen, now they are just bitter old people who hate fun.

“Retronauts in 2023 is a bad podcast. There is no consistency in hosts but regardless of who is behind the mic the content is just a routine rundown a list of games with off the cuff personal anecdotes and opinions.”

However I thought you all were downright...”Read full review »

“The South Park episode will be the last one I listen to. 2hrs long and talked about the games for 20min. Barely wikipedia level research recited by the usual games-press types. These podcasts are all over the place without the professional Jeremy Parish at the wheel.”

“I was fond of this back in the day, but attempting to revisit old haunts Iβm finding it fairly abrasive to listen to, kinda iffy vibes for a game show and particularly so for a retro one. Thereβs far more than enough resources that I donβt need to ramble or complain much but it is a shame.”
