“There is no reason for this podcast to be as long as it is, I think it can be shortened while maintaining the humor. The opening informal reviews of recent games played section should be limited to just 1 to 3 reviews for 3 to 5 minutes each, nothing in depth. The news and kickstarter section...”Read full review »

“Have been listening for years. Great show if you are interested in board games. However, I listen every week because I feel like I am listening to my old friends. Awesome banter. Great camaraderie and humor. I have been lucky enough to meet them in real life also. Great guys.”

“I started listening in 2023 and while other board game related podcasts have come and gone from my playlist, this one is a keeper. I was already impressed with the level of organization and flow in the shows and the casual but focused contributions from all of the founders, but then I listened to...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to a lot of different board gaming podcasts over the years but none compare to The Secret Cabal!
There are certain things in life that bring you true comfort and joy, and that’s exactly how I feel every time I get to put on a new episode and hear that legendary intro… “It’s...”Read full review »

“I have been into boardgames since 2003 and pretty much started listening to podcasts at the same time. I have heard every single episode of The Secret Cabal and can’t recommend it enough. These folks are genuinely funny and insightful. There is in my mind no better podcast.”

“I’d like to preface this by saying that yes, through these boys reviews, I have spent so much money on games. But I’ve loved everyone I have bought as a result of it. The show is funny as heck and the news section really is awesome as well. Keep on keepin on boys!”

They’ve got a great mix of gaming content, and entertaining personal chats. They all seem like guys I’d enjoy hanging out with to play a game and have a...”Read full review »

“If you like modern board games...this is one of the best in terms of scope and entertainment. They are able to back up their opinions with great reasons why they feel that way.

“When this group is actually talking about board games, I find their insights to be sharp and clever.
Unfortunately, that content only comprises about 1/3 of any given episode. You will frequently find yourself realizing that 20 minutes have gone by and nobody has talked about board games.”

“You are a board game podcast! Politics killed the NFL for me. Now politics have killed my favorite podcast for me. Kids at a school were fighting against medical tyranny and the secret cabal thought they were wrong. It’s their right to fight back against a mandate which is not law!

“Tried to listen to the Cthulhu review, couldn’t make it past the intro, so I skipped ahead to the review portion and it was just as bad. Forced laughter at inside jokes, faked excitement, and conversations that don’t need to be shared outside of their gaming group aren’t making for a good podcast.”
