“In a podcast landscape overwhelmed by video game review shows, The Besties stands out by being extremely informative and thoughtful game critique while simultaneously laughing-out-loud funny. As someone who identifies as a ‘casual gamer,’ I started listening a couple years ago by engaging with the podcast from a purely comedy perspective as a fan of The McElroy Brothers and Polygon’s YouTube page. However, due to the diverse gaming perspectives and preferences each of the hosts bring, their commitment to highlighting diverse games/gaming styles, and the tactile way they describe the gameplay of each game, I’ve come to find a lot of games I now love through the podcast that I would never have found otherwise. For example, the ads for Supergiantgames’ ‘Hades’ (now one of my favourite games) didn’t catch my attention, but The Besties’ description was such a great representation of what the game actually felt like to play that I downloaded it IMMEDIATELY after finishing the podcast episode! The format of The Besties also never gets repetitive as it’s often spiced up by more historically focused or more ‘debate’ heavy episodes. I can’t recommend this highly enough and get ready to bing the entirety of The Besties’ backlog!”

“Wicked good. I love how the guys don't take it too seriously. It's great to have a podcast with Chris Plant on each week. The McElroy's are always awesome and Russ is equally funny. One of the most fun podcasts around right now.”Read full review »

The humor and playfulness of The Besties podcast makes it more interesting than any of the dry,...”Read full review »
