Giant Bomb - great coverage, funny, not problematic. wide range of content, amazing chemistry, two awesome podcasts plus game mess mornings

Jeff Grubb - he brought me over to GB. the man. watch him and GB cover SGF and you'll get it. man is talented and so charismatic. hes also got a couple more pods on his personal channel with known menace Mitch Minotti

∆honestly cant sing praise for these two enough

Noclip - AMAZING docs, great pod with passionate hosts.

Minnmax - just turned onto them recently after GB had some of them on the couch at SGF. good takes, nice people.

used to be really into spawncast and it's member's channels. not as much recently. spawnwave is still great but some of the group is overly negative which can be very grating over time. they do have good chemistry, still catch the pod sometimes. - that being said, spawnwave's 20 min morning news digests aren't a bad watch while you're waking up and getting caffenated in the morning

Nate the Hate & MVG - part of the spawncast but they also do their own pod. Mature discussion of news and industry topics. MVG has a long history in the modding scene and is an active dev. Nate is some sort of insider, he protects his identity but i would imagine he's in the industry. despite the name, he's not overly negative.

~~there are def a few more but these are the ones that came to mind immediately. might add more as they come to me ~similar kinda thing but about content more geared towards entertainment i.e. dunkey, thorhighheels might be fun to do in the future

I got into GB a bit after when Gertsmann got canned because i enjoyed Grubb and his takes/personality so much. I realize when an outfit has been going for a while like they have a regime change/ almost total personnel change would feel weird af
