Customer Reviews
Interesting and well done
Great podcast. I find that my tastes and Anthony’s are quite close which makes this a must listen for me. My only complaint is that they often state the game title so fast and never repeat it that I sometimes miss which game they are talking about. That said, I am a stray and enthusiastic listener.
Out of the dozen or so board game pods I listen to, this is the best
Something about these guys! Love their personalities and takes
Absolutely love the podcast.
I love the format and their interactions with the community.
