  • Just found these gals a couple days ago and I already adore this pod! It has such a welcoming feeling, just warm & cozy vibes. It's almost like finding an old friend you didn't even realize was missing from your life. I've found myself leaning more and more toward indie games over the last couple years and they have excellent discussions about what their newest ones are. Makes me wanna play every one they recommend.

  • I love it so much!!

    You can tell that Emily & Kate have such a genuine friendship. The podcast is amazing! It's funny, candid, professional, educational, fun. We could not ask for more!! My favorite part is how they explain what they love (and what they like less) about a game in such an eloquant manner that makes us actually consider getting the game.
