  • Great VR pod.

    Love being able to hear some VR convo while I’m on the go, too busy to game, can keep up to date. Entertaining & funny/laid back guys.

  • An inviting and enjoyable podcast for all things Quest 2!

    Been loving the Ruff Talk VR podcast for game reviews and interviews with indie VR developers. I like the approach to audible descriptions of games that allow you to visualize the games and want to explore them more beyond the podcast. Also, the Discord community they’ve built is welcoming and fun to hang out with during game nights. This podcast has influenced me to buy more, or remind me of, games on the store and discover more on App Lab than I would have otherwise.

  • Ruff Talk VR

    This was a first-time experience for me. I do not recall listening to a podcast before. This was an interesting description of tennis by two well-informed observers. I have previously played tennis, and have watched tennis on

    TV, and this podcast presented an accurate review of tennis and made the game as available on VR seem like a viable alternative. The price appears reasonable. A fair description of s VR game.

  • Just found the podcast and have now gone back and downloaded every episode and making my way through them. I drive a lot for work so it helps to pass the time and is entertaining as well.

    I've bought so many more games due to this podcast. Everyone should get on it.
