“I like this podcast. I’m on episode 4 as I’m reviewing and I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts, so I understand that my gripes may be some early podcast adjustments. If I find that is the case, I will definitely update this review and rating.
There are a ton of 5-star ratings on here. Look at them for the positives. I agree with most of them.
I only have 2 main negatives, but they’re huge ones, hence the 3-star rating. The first is that the GM cannot seem to go more than 5 or 6 words without at least one of them being “um.” The other is that the battle music is INCREDIBLY repetitive and irritating. These two issues vastly affect the listenability of the show.
My only other real issues are that they’re referred to as Red Rocket instead of Team Rocket, and it feels like labeling the show as being “in the Jazz age” has been kind of pointless so far. Team Rocket is obviously mobsters, and there’s been mention of A jazz bar, but other than that this is essentially identical setting-wise to the 1st generation of Pokémon games. Why bother setting it in the jazz age if it’s never described in a meaningful way and doesn’t impact the story in a meaningful way?”
