Absolutely incredible
Wonderful storytelling and endearing banter. Don’t let the Pathfinder 1E system scare you away. If you’re familiar with D&D or any other similar system, Sam and the players make it very easy to follow. The custom music is incredible and I appreciate the storyline that regularly challenges the players and makes them play at the top of their game. Thank you for many hours of entertainment and laughter and a few tears. Also thanks for keeping it clean even when the BBEG roles a nat 20 on its save against your favorite spell.

Top Tier Pathfinder Pod
Excellent storytellers with an amazing brand of dry humor. This show has developed into one of the best Pathfinder 1E podcasts out there. Fans of the system will especially enjoy their “interesting” builds, but anyone interested in a good story will enjoy this show.

Delightfully Funny
The witty, dry humor of this podcast is highly enjoyable. A must listen for humans and robots alike.

Great show, very capable.. Now with chicken wars
I love this show and the cast of clowns. They have a bit drier sense of humor that is my speed. They story they are telling is consistently funny and subversive. And the setting with dripping with color and flavor, in a way that only fantasy magi-tech can.
Do yourselves a favor and check these jokers out.

Good stuff
Relistening to early eps and hurtling my way to catching up. The characters are wonderful, the balance of sass and serious is *chef’s kiss* and is overall just chill and fun.

Love it
I enjoy the cast. I like how interactive the GM was about the story. Can’t wait to hear how they tackle this AP.

I highly recommend this podcast!
Pod Against The Machine has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Not only do the characters come to life in their audio form, each one has a drawback which allows for them to become even more dynamic. The cast already gives off the impression of being long time friends, despite coming only coming together in 2020. I have laughed many times while listening to episodes, and have become highly invested in the characters. But what perhaps what makes Pod Against The Machine so great is how it has cultivated a thriving Discord community as well as building great relationships with other podcasts by promoting them at every opportunity. Please consider giving Pod Against The Machine a listen. It’s the only one I know of that has both gootubes and oddly specific stickers. 🦄

I enjoyed it
I really liked what I listened to, unfortunately I really want to play this AP without spoilers so I stepped away, but I will be back.

Just caught up
This group keeps getting better! Everyone seemed a little nervous to start but after a few episodes it's all fallen into place. The group is lots of fun and the setting is pretty much the coolest one you'll find in Pathfinder. High recommend!

Great addition to pathfinder podcasts!
Pod Against The Machine is a solid podcast covering an interesting AP. The players are great (especially Jeff... slightly biased) and Sam does a great job running the show and setting the stage.

Great Actual Play Podcast!
I have listened to the start of both Glass Cannon and Critical Roll and I think this podcasts entry level quality is as good if not better than both of them.
Fun characters and a nice intro. Keep up the great work.

It’s.. ok
I gave it a fair shake with the first 10 eps. The energy never really rises above “Bingo Night at the old folks home” levels. The audio levels are all over the place for the first few and only get a bit better. The sound quality difference between the entire cast is pretty distracting but I get that.
I think there could be something here if they brought in someone with a bit more fire in their belly and the GM found some (any really) pizazz. The players are good and their characters seem fleshed out. Will give it another shot down the road to see if they find their footing.

Great show so far, excited for the future
This is an excellent show that’s only gotten better as it’s gone on. I’m excited for the future of it, and the roleplay has been great.

Audio improving as time goes on, as is the party characterizing. Highly enjoyable.

Solid Characters and RP
Like a breathe of fresh air in the actual play genre, this group doesn’t shy away from playing in character and puts just the right amount of production, a tricky balance, into their show.
The people themselves are a little low energy, but their personalities are welcoming and fun nonetheless.
I look forward to listening as the story unfolds.
