mattroiPlease Make More!This is an incredible wealth of info in a format that’s perfect for those of us with little time to read, but a desire to consume and consider ideas related to gaming. I listen when I’m on a walk or making my kids dinner. I’m so thankful for all the episodes here, but greedy for more. Thanks for what you do!

PrimalnutGet caught up!Awesome way to get caught up on great OSR blogs while you drive, or workout, or whatever. Particularly useful to me as a great intro to the OSR blogosphere after a long hiatus from the hobby.
