  • One of the best Real Play podcasts out there

    The game setting is unique, the mood deftly balances cartoon silliness and sincere emotion and all of the players and GM are some of the best I've ever heard. It compares quite favorably to any of the higher profile shows and will definitely become a must-listen if you give it a chance.
