Volume

Very good podcast but I wish the audio wasn’t so low. Running through my playlist I always have to stop and turn this one up. Then I have to stop and turn it down when it’s over or I have someone screaming in my ear.

Quick and engaging

Host Ash and guest provide insightful and thought provoking discussion on the X-Men in a quick format podcast.

Fantastic!!!!

Love it! Great concept, quality and execution. FUN banter with interesting topics and questions. Would love it if it went longer, since discussions are so enticing to hear further! 30 minutes to 1 hour would be a dream!! ;)))) PS LOVE ACADEMY X = WIND DANCER FOREVER ALSO the host has a HOT voice

Engaging, Thought-Provoking, and Too Short!

Amazing conversations that are frustratingly (but understandably) brief. I could easily listen to multiple hours on each episode’s topic. Thoughtful guests, excellent host with a great voice for podcasting.

Love love love!!

I love this podcast so much!! The guests are always a fun time and Ash is a wonderful and charismatic host. Love that I have a podcast to help fuel my obsession with this Krakoan era of X-Men!
fan of the show ray

It’s very good!

Ash is an incredible host and I love the different perspectives all of the guests bring! Extremely fun.

It’s all awesome

Great concept, great guests, great host. The show is always engaging, and almost all the episodes are under 15 minutes I’d start with the episode “Are mutants supremacists now?”
Justin Winley

Keep it coming!

Ash is a great host, and pulls great insights out of his guests when he has them. The environment of the show is fantastic. Gimme more!!!!
