“Great podcast. The emphasis on the experience of playing games, rather than the games themselves, is very welcome. Pip is particular delight.”

“Professional PC gaming journalists talk about stuff - and PC games. This is even better than the PC Gamer Podcast: they really do know their stuff, they say it well, and they are less restrained by company guidelines.”

“I’ve supported c&c via patreon. I can’t any longer. Pip is unlistenably bad. She clearly does not enjoy the act of speaking about games and prefers to blab on about anything on her mind that isn't games. She seems actively hostile to her boyfriend who hosts the show.
I know this could seem like...”Read full review »

“I really looks forward to listening to this podcast. I’m a game developer, and this is the only gaming podcast I’ve found that I like so far. It’s really funny - I find myself laughing out loud often.
From the game dev side: the in depth way they talk about game mechanics as well as having a...”Read full review »

“Genuinely very thoughtful game discussion in a way that isn’t just regurgitating whatever argument people on Twitter are having this week. Smart and funny and occasionally very drunk. I know it’s a PC game focussed podcast but wish they would give themselves the option to discuss non-PC a little...”Read full review »

“It's is genuinely funny and helpful. All of these guys have college degrees that make them outstanding. I.e. standing out of the crowd of semi-literate giggling teenagers that fill up the gaming podcast scene.”

“A good podcast about PC games. The hosts are insightful, funny and friendly. Listener mail is taken at the end of the podcast while the hosts are a bit squiffy so sometimes it devolves into a very amusing comedy of errors. Thans.”

“I was inspired to write this review after noticing the injustice of C&C ranking only 132 in the Games category of iTunes. Long-time listener of the PC Gamer podcast, now weekly (it not daily) listener of the Crate and Crowbar - the funniest and most entertaining games podcast I've listened to.”

“This is a great podcast with hilarious people, that you should watch if you like sausages, drinking, and PC gaming. However, I have been working back through the episodes, and they only have down to 32 on itunes here. It would be awesome to fix that, but not a necessity.”

“All the hosts mumble incoherently, it's often very difficult to even know what game they are talking about. On top of that, there is often an ear-piercing sound of drinks pouring that sounds like nails on a chalkboard.”

“I love listening to these guys banter every week, even if I'll probably never play some of the games they talk about. It's nice that they have the freedom to discuss games instead of being more restricted like they probably were on the PCG UK podcast.”
