Bad Batch corrections
The medical droid AZI-.... with all the number was in clone wars in the arc where arc trooper Fives (Fives was another major clone character, a member of Echo’s previous battalion before joining the Bad Batch when he was turned into an Android). So Fives enlisted AZI’s help when he was investigating his ‘tumor’ that turned out to be his inhibitor chip. Also, Cut was a clone trooper from season 2 episode 10 of clone wars that deserted the army to marry Sue and raise her two kids as a farmer so we have seen him before too.

Love the Enthusiast Pod!
Have been a listener since day one of Guardian Radio, was sad to that era come to an end but have enjoyed seeing the The Enthusiast Life grow over the past few months and now every week it’s a must listen! Appreciate the effort that Mark puts in and every week he nails the topics, always timely and I appreciate his opinion. Keep up the great work!

Unenthusiastic podcast
This podcast greatly needs at least one weekly guest in the lineup. It is difficult to listen to a podcast about entertainment with only the opinion and ideas of one person. Some of the greatness of entertainment podcasts is the bouncing of ideas between the cast. This is greatly lacking that. Mark is a great host. I cannot take that away from him. He does a great job with the flow and direction of this podcast. My biggest criticism is he needs additional people to come aboard this weekly podcast.

Still a great Destiny POD
Never got into D2 at launch & just recently picked it up after seeing what's coming with the Forsaken DLC in Sept. Boy, does it ever have it's hooks in me now. Resubbed, listened to the newest pod & they crew is still as charming & good together as they were a few years ago. I'm glad to be back!

Wish they recorded on Tuesday.
The show is very informative, sometimes funny. But they’re always recording the night before a reveal or reset. Monday is the worst possible day they could record.

Still listening
You guys are awesome. Never miss a week. Been listening to you guys for about 3 year. My wife and I meet you guys at Gcon. You guys spot lighted our clan Dirge of the 6th seraph. Thanks again. Titian master class!!!!

Was good, now is just a complain fest
Was a very good podcast before it was just 3 hosts. Now, it’s just complaining and not complaining about the game, but complaining about the community and the listeners( the listeners are the community). Unsubscribed

Corny
Use to love this podcast but that “Mesa Sean” guy is too corny for me.

Best podcast for Destiny
This show used to be the best but since the departures of Byf and Belle and the consistent excuses for Bungie using Destiny 2 as a money grab made me unsubscribe. As part of the community, being told that we are overreacting to armor being behind a paywall among other questionable tactics and mistakes, by people that I once thought were the voice of the community is just too much. Listening to this just makes me mad now.

Kick Sean off
Sean cusses too much and talks down to the community. For a podcast to claim to be the “voice of the community” they end up being “the voice of bungie instead. Disappointed with GR recently.
Ravenscythe
I'm out.
Have listened to this podcast for over 3 years now. In the past month or so though, it has basically been an hour of "Holier than thou" K-Dub with Sean close behind him scolding people and complaining about the complainers. Seriously guys, go back and listen to this past episode objectively and tell me that wasn't the most annoying hour of your life. Is all of the salt in the community annoying? Absolutely. Is a lot of it justified? Yep. Is listening to people grandstand and complain to the contrary just as annoying? Yep. You guys briefed over one of the main concerns of the expansion (Eververse) and basically said, "well we don't really have a problem with it so it's fine. Sean: "I don't care about cosmetics, so I'm ok with it" ... Sean 5 minutes later: I loved showing my ship off in D1 and I wear the prestige raid gear on titan to show off even though it gives me worse stats." I appreciate that you are trying to not be negative towards the game. I practice this as well. In trying though, you have became equally negative to the community and this past episode was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Good luck moving forward, but I hope you can possibly accept some constructive criticism b/c other than Mark, this podcast is taking an unfortunate tone.

Good enough
These guys drive me crazy. They are so negative towards popular criticism of D2, acting like there’s some huge conspiracy against the game, and then express the same criticisms, as if it made them some sort of sage, wise person. Their hypocritical patronization can be very frustrating sometimes. That said, they are a good, established podcast, with a good recurring cast, and solid segments. All in all a good, informative podcast about the state of D2, with some very frustrating tendencies.

Betrayed
Long time listener and lover of Destiny. I played destiny 1 for hundreds of hours and loved the loot system, raids, trials etc. Destiny 2 is terrible and a betrayal of any destiny fan who wants to play the game, progress, and continuously have a reason to play the game. This podcast refuses to accept this fact and they continuously defend their friends at Bunjie in the face of all the mistakes Bunjie made in regards to Destiny 2. Mark does have some defense, but does not stand up in the end. Destiny 2 is a terrible and a betrayal. I love Destiny and love the gameplay and community of Destiny 2, but I cannot let myself purchase the DLC and advocate for this lazy, money hoarding, fan betraying developer. I will continue to listen to the podcasts to see if the game returns to its former wonder and will then return.

Slightly too sunny on Bungie for my taste
Excellent production quality, and lively discussion. My only nitpick is the panel tends to be a bit too pro-Bungie for my taste given my perception of the game. There are other podcasts that do a better job offering valid criticisms to the discussion. Otherwise a solid podcast.

Is Bfy gone?
I have not heard Byf on the show in a while. This show is just not the same without him.

Boring
The girl is terrible and doesn’t even really play. Use to be a subscriber. The girl made me unsubscribe due to the fact when she talked I wanted to smash my car stereo.

Awesome Podcast for any Destiny news . Love the cast !

Stick to destiny
Could be a great podcast,but if you start of with snobbish political rant I’m going turn it off
Lange75
Awful....
Thanks for saying your not going to bring politics into your show and then bring politics into your show... Your white guy and black guy buying a car example is so profoundly dumb that I don't know where to begin... We all have struggles in life no matter our race or religion. Thanks for attacking Police Officers, the only people in America that run toward gunfire, to save others no matter what color the other person is. I enjoyed listening to your show as a bit of escapism but never again.

KDub defended unpatriotic NFL
Why is this in a Destiny podcast!? Defending NFL players disrespecting the flag and those who served, using anti-police propaganda is unacceptable!
Shoot003
Politics
They brought personal politics into the show. Politics spoil everything, I would not recommend for people to trying to escape from a bit from the drama.
Chor4469teter
Please no more politics in a game podcast.
I’ve listened to the show on and off again but for the love of whatever deity you believe in keep the political crap out of a video game podcast. I come to you for destiny chatter not this crap. If you keep this up I’ll stop listening all together.

Finally!!!
Belle left the show! I love this podcast but it was getting really hard to listen when belle just complained about everything. I'm very excited for this change going in destiny2

Love the show, can't stand the bunny
Been listening for a few years now, and easily the best Destiny podcast around. That being said, I cant stand Belle. Most of her points have no basis in reality and she has to be corrected 99% of the time. Very clear she doesn't play or have much interest in the game anymore. Love everything else though!

Favorite podcast
I haven't missed a single episode! Great hosts but please let mesa talk more!
brian4bucs
Great D2 coverage.
I love the insightful coverage and thorough conversation about all aspects of the game. If I have any criticism it would be they are too big of a "fan" and need to be more critical of the game. Not full on negative, just keep one foot planted in reality.
tommysturn
Really good but . . .
I am really a nice person and I just cannot put what really bothers me about this podcast. I do like it but for some reason I have a horrible problem with one thing.
jamie_cc
Kool Pod...
Only issues are the 10-15 min "housekeeping"... I get u have to open the show but 15 mins? Seriously? Not a big fan of belle... Sick of hearing about the "Dames" and their issues... But I also understand pods have to account for their diverse audience... But her probs are 99% non-relevant to "most" destiny players... Not even gonna address the songs😝. Otherwise great pod... Informative and entertaining!!

Great podcast due to well rounded view
If you're brand new to destiny or been playing destiny since it's launch, this is the podcast for you. All the hosts have great viewpoints from belle discussing a lady's point of view/massive clan leader, byf with lore content and in depth knowledge, mesa is the every player giving the latest advice on how to get gud, the host is old school into the gaming community and they even have a bubble bro in the closet.....best. Podcast. Ever.

My favorite podcast, give or take some hosts
Amazing podcast with great formatting and good structure. Mark has been podcasting for a long time and it shows. The cast is mostly good, with some notable community members who really know their stuff. I don't care much for two cast members who don't have much podcast experience and who are essentially, casuals. I feel hosts need to be die hard good players but that is a personal view and thus, won't affect the 5 stars I give the show. If I were them though, I'd look hard at the panel and make adjustments.

Love this podcast!
Fun and informative with varying opinions and good conversation. A good mix of things for any Destiny player wanting to stay informed and entertained.

The BelleBunny Show!
Unsubscribed ever since this became the BelleBunny show. She's terrible. There's plenty of females in the community with far more insight. She takes the show over for long stretches at a time, literally taking minutes to express the most basic of ideas, she adds next to nothing with her verbose rants.

Solid show for general Destiny info
Love tuning in to this group every week to hear a great, wholesome review of Destiny from the previous week. Expect opinions and viewpoints that may be different than your own, but that's what great about this cast! Plus this group truly loves the Destiny community and have contributed selflessly in too many ways to name here. Get listening now!
jjsissman
Ok Podcast would be great if all hosts played
Been a long time listener to the show and can't continue. It is a show about Destiny yet somehow it's acceptable for Belle to not play the game. People listen to hear about the game from people who enjoy and actually play the game. I can't keep listening while I know Belles comments are not based on gameplay.

Top Tier
Really enjoy the show! I try to listen every week. You all do a great job of getting multiple views on each discussion topic which is a great balance of opinions. Still miss Craig, but KDub and Mesa do a good job in his absence. Would be nice to see y'all little more on twitch, but we all have busy schedules so I understand. Keep up the fun shows! #thornmasterrace
Jjkrash89
I agree
After reading the other reviews I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that finds Belle extremely annoying. I love the show but find it very difficult to listen to when she's on

Amazing Guardians
Fantastic group with a ton of information about my favorite game. Can definitely tell they care for the community and who is all in it. Very amazing podcast that will get you hooked from the first listen. They have amazing chemistry with each other.

Good Destiny podcast
I enjoy this podcast. It's good to listen to it while I'm working (desk job). My only issue with it is Byf. He seems to get irritated when people get more facts wrong. It's just a game, dude. It (the lore, specifically) ultimately doesn't matter because it has zero real life impact. He often sounds incredibly condescending toward opinions that aren't his own (shows his age/immaturity). With that said; I do recommend this podcast to any Destiny fan.
