“I started listening to this podcast after hearing Chris Kohler guest on Retronauts and as I suspected his knowledge of games isn't just limited to the past. He's flanked by two equally educated co-hosts that help round out a solid show”Read full review »

“Podcast content is mostly good but it's infuriating to notice that they do this via Skype with bad mics and on a weak Internet connection. You always hear weird audio artifacting and connection drops on their end. I often hear echoing of a guest's mic on the host's mic as well. If I...”Read full review »

“Wired's gaming podcast features some great gamers. They are a smart assortment of writers.
Unfortunately the game snobbery is too much. They talk Japan (Nintendo) games focused talk and ignore the rest. No sports. No shooters. No adult themed games. Not funny.
They cover the gaming news...”Read full review »

“The three guys who do this podcast are all pretty smart and provide good info on current events in video games, but the host Chris tends to talk over the others constantly and doesn't let them flesh out their ideas. It's maddening and turns what could be a great podcast into a mediocre one.”Read full review »

“Been listening for several months now, I enjoy the material you cover and the casts perspective on the industry. One thing that would be a nice improvement is the file management in iTunes as a lot of the older podcasts are missing date/time stamps and are out of order or missing.”

“I'm all for a long format podcast, where hosts freely discuss topics that surround the main theme. However this only works in long podcasts that are 2 hours plus. 8-4, Weekend Confirmed, etc
This short podcast should try to stick to the topics at hand and move on. When talking about the new...”Read full review »

“Ok, bit of an exaggeration but, He was great on the 1up podcasts (esp. Retronauts {the guy knows his stuff}) and he's great on GJB. I really enjoy hearing what this guy has to say. And WIRED is pretty freaking good too. but that's a magazine not a podcast. And this is a podcast review....”Read full review »

“Subscribing to a lot of gaming related podcasts is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand you get to hear conversations about a pastime that you are likely very passionate about, and that doesn't get talked about in those kinds of depths in normal everyday conversation. The downside is sometimes...”Read full review »
