“Been listening to the FLG podcasts for a couple of years now and was always a fan. They made some good expansions since I joined as a listener: Art of War is excellent, Stats Center is good, though I’d personally keep it a little more serious. I admit that Signals and Chapter tactics have fallen in my estimation to the point that I just don’t listen to them anymore. They’re on the longish side and I’m afraid I don’t think Reece and Pablo have the same dynamic as Reece had with Jason. I’m sure that Pablo is a stand-up guy, but I find his delivery overly stiff and he fails to take advantage of the expertise of guests too often; usually they are the ones to follow up themselves on interesting points or to move the podcast along. Overall, my recommendations would be to reduce overall length of time of each podcast; given the specialization they now have with 4 separate shows covering hobby news, competitive play results, faction -specific news and competitive strategies, I think 45 minutes is what they should aim for, which is a typical commute to/from work or a short/medium gym session. That would also allow them to cut the fat & overlap from the shows, which IMO would benefit them. So 3 stars, but I could easily see them back at 4 stars with a few changes. Finally, I read a lot of complaints about “selling” out or how FLG overly promotes GW products; I disagree. I find your GW specific commentary to be pretty balanced; the reality is there is simply much less to criticize these days, GW is knocking it out of the park. And you guys are in a business, so promoting product is part of the job, no shame for that. Keep up the good work!”
