  • Truly wonderful

    Feel good, nostalgic, accessible, welcoming.

    Such a positive vibe. Excellent guests, brilliant flow and questioning by Iain. You’re a fly on the wall just listening in to gamers, unashamedly, getting their geek on.

    Love that the chosen games are across many platforms, allowing for a dive into that era, system and shared experiences of the time.

    Appreciate all the work and effort in puting the show together and the passion and genuine excitement Iain and his guests have for their chosen games.

  • Iain rejuvenated

    I was really enjoying this podcast with its excellent content and eclectic guest list so was sad when it seemed to have ended. Fortunately Iain has released new episodes with renewed enthusiasm and the break appears to have had a positive effect. The way he interacts with his guests and the warmth he shows them is really infectious. Such a likeable guy, such a likeable podcast.
