Excellent perspective; well-balanced panel
*** Update for 9/14: *** The hosts of the Level CONTINUE insightful, respectful, and hilarious commentary for people who love video games. In recent broadcasts, they have broadened the panel of hosts to bring unique perspectives on gaming and society. My absolute favorite aspect of this podcast is how the hosts interact with their audience on a weekly basis. They have even introduced Twitch streaming so that we can all experience gaming in new and interesting ways. Support this podcast and support independent voices! The description for the Level is apt -- "a podcast for people who love video games" -- it's not just about video games, but it's more about video-game-influenced culture. They approach such topics as sexism in gaming culture, gaming mechanics as a form of storytelling, and even how one's opinion of a particular game evolves over time (I'm looking at you, Kole! Dark Souls!). I really appreciate the varying perspectives each host brings to the table. It's refreshing to hear and very uncommon in today's gaming media. While the podcast seems long if you glance at the track length, Kole does a pretty good job of keeping everyone on task without cutting people off. My only suggestion would be to involve some additional guests on the panel (females, perhaps?) as the show evolves. I've been listening since the Don't Tree (I introduced a friend to Dark Souls and this podcast was a hit on one of his Google searches) and I really hope the guys (and any girls, should they be in the rotation) keep this going!Read full review »

A varied cast of hosts share their experiences with and insights into video games. The dedicated section for listener responses makes you feel more connected to the show with every week and the amount of charm and respect each host exudes makes this a must-subscribe for gamers.

Rather than another "gaming news" show from big journalism, this is a show where you get some real person on the street opinions on whatever the hosts happen to be playing. I've learned about a lot of cool indie games from these people, as well as many AAA games that I will never want...Read full review »
