Long time listener, first time reviewer. I've followed the career of Nate Bender from his humble beginnings as host of Limit Break Radio. Through A Podcast Reborn, Final Encounter Cast, Checkpoint Radio and to now Let's Play: Daily Gaming News. There are several off shoots that Nate has produced with his friends and colleagues over the years, way too many to name. But each and every podcast and project Nate brings the right people to the table to create something special. With Aaron Pillen, Nate has created the best one stop shop for all the news you need to know in gaming. While I miss the unscripted longer form podcasts with a narrower scope, I'm glad Nate has continued to lend his voice and expertise to another project that I can enjoy on a near daily basis. For the people who see this review. If you’re looking for consistent video game news podcasts with well researched stories. Let’s Play: Daily Gaming News is that podcast.

Two years of near non-stop video game coverage. And I'd be remised if I didn't say I actually missed Nates voice breaking down the news of the day. So I offer my condolences to you Nate, I'm sorry for your loss. But also thank you for being a consistent pillar in my day. Hopefully those changes you talked about on 6th are beneficial to you and Aaron. because there isn't anything like Let's Play with its scope and perspective. I'm going to Keep Listening, if you guys Keep Producing.

It's quite a feat to reach over 400 episodes. Not many daily shows like this last as long as this one has. Baring say maybe 3 days, these guys have been consistent for nearly 3 years. And I can't think of another gaming related podcast like this where you can get gaming news without 4 dudes jerking eachother off about their mundane takes on gaming. Let's Play: Daily Gaming News is one of the few diamonds in the sea of shitty and redundant gaming podcasts.

By far one of the most concise and to the point gaming news podcasts I've ever listened too. Nate brings the NPR style and Aaron brings an interesting mix of stories each day. While I prefer stream of thought podcasting personally. I think these two strike a very good blance between getting the facts straight and giving their opinions. Reminds me a lot of YouTube show in the early 2010's called Sourcefed when it was still owned by Philip Defranco. While Castbox doesn't give a star rating, I'd give Let's Play a 6 out 5 if I could. Also Congratulations on 1 full year!
