    First off: thank you Austin for the chapter markers 🙏 the attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed.

    I’m mostly a casual gamer but find myself overwhelmed with the sheer amount of Game out there in the world. Side Story is a delightful way to keep abreast of what’s new. And it’s the Friends so even if I’m not into a specific game, I get to enjoy a lovely, honest, and hilarious chat.

    The “i” stands for “Important Podcast”

  • Heard Austin mention this podcast over at Nextlander and have been enjoying it very much. Smart, funny people who like each other and provide thoughtful criticism of less-covered games. But let's be honest, they could be talking about their grocery lists and I would tune in. Also: Janine Hawkins is legit my new favorite podcaster? The only knock to this show is that she isn't on every episode. But the others are great too. Fantastic show.
