Friends Per Second

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.

Easily a 10/10 podcast. Friends Per Second is my go-to for staying updated on the latest in gaming and entertainment. What really sets it apart is the dynamic between the hosts-they genuinely feel like a group of friends chatting, but with deep knowledge and thoughtful takes. Each episode offers a perfect mix of news, reviews, and casual conversation, all wrapped in a relaxed and entertaining format. They cover everything from triple-A blockbusters to quirky indie gems, and they're not afraid to speak their minds. The honesty and personality each host brings keeps me coming back week after week. It's like sitting in on a great conversation you wish you were a part of. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or just curious about what's going on in pop culture, this podcast is well worth your time.

Jake, Lucy, and Ralph's bi-weekly podcast, Friends per Second, is an absolute gem. This excellent trio frequently feature interviews with a variety of prominent gaming figures, discuss the gaming news, movies, and shows. But I think the most interesting thing about this podcast is the camaraderie between the trio. In my job I am often stuck at my desk for about 11 hours out of the day and every other week becomes really special when this podcast goes live, I just wish there were 9 more bi-weekly so I wouldn't go without. Every other week I come back for another episode and I'll keep coming back.

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.

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.
