Friends Per Second

Ralph, Jake and Lucy are three of the best industry leaders who have a huge pedigree of reviews and interviews that very few game critics have.

The way they play off of each other is amazing and fun to listen too, even if the topics can be sometimes a bit too grim. The interviews they bring to this channel include some very good behind the scene experience into games and their development, some game politics, and sometimes just another great journalist who is an expert in a specific type of games.

This podcast acts as a gateway into the bigger gaming world where you don't have to dig deep, because the three hosts do that work for you.

These guys are pretty cool. They're personable, relatable, and sometimes straight up hilarious. They manage to get some crazy big guests every few weeks. They provide great commentary on the games industry and valuable insight into the games themselves. One week, Lucy was bald and had a mustache. And a few weeks later, she's got her signature messy hair and bangs again. She also has a pretty distinct taste in cozy games, and has given me some great recommendations. Ralph is a very tall tennis guy and Jake always volunteers pizza. It's not easy, and they usually go for well over an hour and most of the time, over two hours. Incredible value for the time you'll spend listening. I strongly recommend the Friends Per Second podcast.

A top tier podcast that any video game lover will be sure to enjoy.

Lucy, Ralph, Jake have brilliant discussions about video game news and releases with every new episode, that keep you both engaged and entertained. If you don't know any of the hosts going in, l'd be surprised if you don't fall in love with their personalities & banter pretty quickly.

It's clear that the 'Friends' part of the podcast name isn't just for show. Even when someone is absent the guest hosts that have popped up are also delightful.

On the topic of guests, the interviews that have been had on this podcast are all incredible. I may even say a highlight.

Excellent conversations with notable people within the gaming industry, each providing amazing insight and shedding light on the industry as a whole. Without a doubt one of my favourite podcasts.

The hosts are extremely relatable, the show is informative and interesting, and Skillup is singlehandedly (with Austin and Stu's guidance) working to make the internet useable again. They strike a perfect balance between informing on games / other media worth your attention and deeper dives into the games industry. It's the perfect background listen and I even find myself watching the video from time to time. I got back into gaming after over a decade, and Skillup's channel was extremely helpful in handling the overwhelming amount of info about games, different genres, etc. Every recommendation they have made that I have taken has been a hit for me and the show really feels like it's just gamers talking about games rather than writers or journalists who happen to work for a gaming focused media company. Love the show, stoked about the website. I can't wait for the next episode of yesterday's news today, because other gaming orgs trying to be first rather than good has ruined almost all games news and this show really does go back to the basics in the best way.

Top podcast for anyone interest in gaming. The hosts all have great chemistry and are well respected members of the gaming community. Fun to listen to the discussions between hosts and even when you disagree completely its a good listen. They always have up to date news stories with good industry insights. Love the variety of guests they have on which spices up the show by giving a different perspective. Also the interviews they have give those involved with games a chance to share their voice and give that behind a scenes look at up coming games. Reminds me a lot of the old co-optional podcast which is a hard bar to meet.
