Customer Reviews
Sean is the best one
A wonderful trio of lacklustre enthusiastic amateurs dragged along by the podcasting force of nature that is Sean Bell. Come for the Sean Bel - STAY for the, well, Sean Bell. Mark, Dan and Jimmy work as perfect foils for his whit and expertise, while reclining in the reflected glory of Bell’s genius. Very good show.
Excellent
I liked it so much I thought I’d go all the way back to episode 1 and listen to them all, but I quickly abandoned that plan when I realised it was pre-Nintendo Switch. Ain’t nobody got time for that, as they say. But gives a flavour of how much I liked it anyway.
Authentic, original, honest and entertaining
Title says it all, this is the best gaming podcast out there but Mat, did you forget to upload the Apple Podcast today??? (18.10.2023)
