Friends Per Second

This has become my favorite podcast. I really enjoy the hosts and occasional guests. While I skip some interviews when the game doesn't interest me, I've not skip an episode yet. I'd love to see more guest hosts even if its just for a single segment especially if they are work colleagues or friends since that comradery is appealing to me. The hosts are very likable and they have a great rapport with each other. A part of me wishes it was weekly but maybe it would be too much at that point. Weekly podcasts often struggle to keep topics fresh. I hope Lucy, Ralph, and Jake keep up the good work and have even more success in the future.

Great chemistry and well-informed hosts, Ralph, Lucy, and Jake are a pleasure to hang with.

I love the behind the behind the scenes stories from their different experiences in games journalism as well as their obviously love for the art form of video games.

As an avid follower of SkillUp, Ralph was the initial reason I started watching, but I soon came to greatly appreciate Lucy James and Jake Baldino's different perspectives and tastes. They do not shy away from disagreeing, and those conversations can be some of the most illuminating for me.

Their interviews with game developers are also some of my favorites out of any video game podcasts.

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.

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.
