    Ep 110 - Talking Out The Trash

Great gaming podcast

Hosts are charming and interesting. It’s great hearing how they shape and mold the simplest ideas into really compelling game concepts. Highly recommend!

Fun game ideas

Love some of the ideas these guys come up with, but my one question to the hosts: why y'all seem to have two recommendation segments per episode? I'd love to hear a spin on a listener suggestion or some other segment every once in awhile. Otherwise great stuff though!

Hilarious, Creative, and Educational

Some top-notch banter from these guys mixed in with some inspiring ideas. They riff off each other so well and I always end up learning something.
