    The Best
    Great podcast. Used to read their reviews in magazines growing up and now listen to their podcast. Just some friends talking about games they enjoy whether they are new or classic. Makes me laugh more than any other podcast. No ads and it’s free. Hope to be listening for a long time to come.

    P1P WAS chicken soup for my video game soul
    This is my 2nd review, my first was years ago, and it was a 5 star. I still subscribe and listen, but the older the guys get,the less they care and it’s obvious. If they don’t have the time to make a good show,and actually play games to talk about (a frequent problem nowadays)then either get a guest (like they used to) or just stop making it. But they seem hellbent on just keeping it going.If you’re invested in the guys lives at this point (and you may be)then keep going,if you’re looking for people playing newish games, for the most part,you won’t find that here anymore. They’ve apparently aged out of it.And that’s fine! But it’s not a good video game show anymore. 2.5/5 with sadness

    Scared of own shadows
    Radical political ideology. Weak men make bad times. 15 mis talking about a cold. Move on. They just compared a rapist and a pedo to a self made author who has an opinion they don’t agree with. An author who was in a abusive relationship and overcame so much. I doubt they even know what her opinion actually is as they probably just let the internet tell them it is not allowed. Trust the science except when it doesn’t support the one allowed opinion. So much for free speech I guess. Worse than Gaming Steve in the end….

    This is podcast of friends hanging out.
    You are going to listen to this podcast because of CJ, Phil and Greg, or you will not like this Podcast because of CJ Phil or Greg. This is not some over produced generic podcast just talking about the same video game news you have already heard about. Instead it’s just three friends hanging out talking games (occasionally). I love it and have for nearly two decades now.
  • mr foo
    Great podcast!
    CJ, Phil, and Greg have great discussions on video games and many other topics. I look forward to this podcast each week.
  • jcturtle24
    Great
    Been listening for years and look forward to every new episode. Great show. Thanks for the years of entertainment.
  • Sir Dreamstate
    Timeless classic with endless fun
    These guys have been doing this for well over 12 years and yet it always seems fresh. I am always amazed not only of their industry knowledge, but their ability to remember names and details on the fly. The Patreon weekly game show is always fun to play along. Thanks for all you guys do and here’s to another 850 shows!
  • Posivated
    The most exciting thing to happen on this show they put behind a paywall.
    This is probably the least exciting video game podcast you’ll ever listen to, and the one time they actually have something exciting that they are going to promote. They put it behind paywall. While yes it is something as stupid as the chip challenge to hype up your audience, who is listening and then to put it behind a pay wall is bad.
  • Hellfire455
    Great podcast but flawed
    Writing this for constructive criticism. TOO MUFH POLITICS. We get it. You’re west coast/Canadian leftists. We don’t listen to video game podcasts for political talk. Stick to games and not alienating chunks of your audience.
  • n8SMASH
    Best podcast about video games
    CJ, Greg, and Phil are great. There’s always laughter and great discussions. How else am I supposed to find out what Mountain Dew flavors to avoid? Can’t wait for episode 1000!
  • tristanian
    Ugh
    First 5 minutes and they start preaching about gun violence.

    Was pretty good until the virtue signaling. Sold me on following JK Rowling. Science, yo.
  • just i like it
    ???
    What is the name of the jeopardy from episode 690?
  • dstrohmeng
    Can we please…
    retire the “best friend Mike” shtick? It was funny the first time and never since.
  • VennyVen
    A good podcast gone tedious and stale
    Two of the three hosts are engaging, informative and entertaining. The other is so stuck in repeating over and over and over and over the same tired schtick and annoying interruptions and repetitive attempts at humor that it drags everything down. Come on guys, it’s been years. Let’s get the child to grow up. It’s become a tiresome chore to listen.
  • AnnieDayNw
    My Favorite Podcast, Period.
    Thanks so much P1P for making me laugh in some of the hardest times of my life so far over the last decade . You all are truly special.
  • Britt7777777777
    Don’t talk crazy about Phil
    Been a long time listener saw someone cut up on Phil in a review so here I am to defend his honor
  • Capt_Keller
    Biased
    I can’t remember if I’ve done a review or not but I’ve been listening to P1P for over four years. I love listening to these guys recount their lives working in the industry during a time when I was young and impressionable. They stay true to their character about current day events and aren’t impressed by random twitter junk that would spark three videos by any other YouTube channel. If you like reminiscing about the history of games but still catch the big news of the week subscribe and enjoy.
  • Pikachu123boy
    SO GOOD
    I don’t know if I can put this show’s greatness into words. Just...AWESOME. Keep up the good work!
  • swiller
    Timeless Video Game Podcast
    Player One Podcast was one of the first gaming podcasts I listened too. It must have been 2006/2007. I still listen to this day. I knew Phil first from his reviews on GameFly. The whole crew has a video game journalist pedigree. They met at EGM. Needless to say Phil is hilarious… CJ a great host that keeps things on point with a laugh always incoming.. and stewy calls all the BS with great wit. They have great chemistry. I love listening to latest video news and game impressions from their perspectives.
  • sharkvszombie
    Old (school) game journos talk games
    A fun podcast where former game journalists talk about their favorite new and old games. Always happy to hear about the latest good games from Greg and Phil (CJ’s love of sea of thieves makes his taste questionable) the banter is always a lot of fun but you might need to go back and to pick up some of the longer running jokes. the after show is also a great listen.

    Best video game podcast out there

    Player One Podcast: The GamePro review
    Graphics: 🥳 Hosts Chris Johnston, Greg Sewart, and Phil Theobald are all EGM alums and have been in the industry since the 90’s. They’ve aged well and still hold up in 2020. Not your average Doom clone. Sounds: 🤩 This podcast is largely audio-based and delivers weekly news, impressions and loads of laughs every week. Think You don’t know Jack meets Streets of Rage. Control: 🤯 ??? Fun for the whole family! Fun-Factor: 🤗 The crew has great rapport with each other, listeners are rewarded with inside jokes and offer bonus episodes for Patreon subscribers with classic gaming quizzes and other fun games. All-in-all a fun podcast, and must play.

    Video game love
    Thanks to this podcast I have something to look forward to ever Tuesday. It is such a pleasure to listen to content filled with so much love for video games. I started contributing to the “after-show” after listening to a couple of episodes!!!
  • SpaceKappa
    I love these guys!
    I grew up reading EGM so I was thrilled when I found a way to keep these guys talking about games in my life, but now as a dad I find CJ, Greg and Phil to be the absolute best way for me to get my gaming “news” as my time and interest has waned. After listening for so long I keep tuning in for the guys themselves and their dynamic, the games are just a nice bonus :)
  • Azz0z
    Favorite gaming podcast
    I've been listening to P1P for more than 10 years now. Never missed a single episode. If you're looking for a weekly chill, laid back, and actually good gaming podcast, this show is for you. Highly recommended.
  • LvnLar
    One of my favorite Podcast!
    These guys are great, It’s a joy to listen to every single week. They talk about video games, fatherhood and life in general. Definitely one you should be subscribed to.
  • GTylerE
    They’ve been around for years for a reason.
    And that reason is to outlast all others! But seriously, one of the best podcasts about gaming out there. Their take on games and gaming news always tends to be less cynical than other outlets. They will make you feel at home every episode and they’re end of the year episodes are always my favorites. I’ve listened for so long I don’t even know how I found them but I am sure glad I did.
  • thordahll
    Good show

  • NotOneoftheHosts
    Old guys talk about video games. Good.
    The coolest OGs in the smalltime podcast biz. 👍🏻
  • Georgy Boyee
    The most honest and entertaining gaming podcast
    Been an avid listener for years now and there is a reason as these guys are amazing. From their professional views and opinions on gaming to the entertaining banter between them, it’s all laughs and fun. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Give them a listen.
  • Goo3r
    My Favorite Video Game Podcast
    Look forward to this every week. The best crew and the most consistent on delivering fun and enjoyable episodes. Couldn't recommend it more.
  • lastranget
    Amazing show with an independent perspective!
    The three hosts know what they’re talking about! They’ve been in the industry for a long time and I’m constantly learning new things and gaining new perspective from listening to this podcast. They always have something unique to offer compared to other podcasts considering they’re not currently video game journalists professionally, but formerly were. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re very funny :)
  • FireFromWithin5
    Amazing show
    Love this show so so much. Been listening to it for about 2 years now. Always look forward to the next episode. Maybe a little too much see if thieves talk though.... ;). 5 STARS!!!
  • Gino1981
    Great podcast
    Haven't been a long time listener but I've heard 4 episodes and they're super enjoyable so far. Will continue to listen.
  • ThaLizardKing
    The best gaming podcast out there!

  • akaKiva
    Great show with great hosts!
    Absolutely a must listen show for me. I love all 3 hosts and they always have opinions that line up well with me and I’ve found so many great games from their recommendations.
  • Davemaster42
    I love this podcast!
    Hey I’m so glad that you guys do this podcast every single week. I always look forward to the newest episode. I love you’re taste in video games and you guys are so funny. I work at a grocery store and when I am outside getting the shopping baskets from the parking lot I always make sure to have my earbuds so that I can listen to the player one podcast while I am working. Well anyways you get 5 stars from me. Keep up the great and memorable content!
  • bkmacky9288
    Definitely a daily listen for me
    I first heard of these guys from Kevin Larrabee’s Back in My Play podcast. Every week I’ll listen to the latest episode and I’ve been working through the backlog most days of the week. It’s a joy to listen to these fine gents and their guests discuss games and life. Each member of the cast over the years brings a unique quality that I have certainly enjoyed and keeps me coming back for more!
  • JC Matthew
    Love the Player one podcast!
    Been listening for years! Love the dynamic between the hosts, and look forward the the download each Monday! Was a EGM reader back in the late 90’s - early 20’s and enjoy their perspective on modern games.
  • YakkerJags
    A classic
    P1P is the he podcast I have personally subscribed to the longest, while sometimes were a bit spend capped it’s been a great run! Keep up the amazing work!
  • ctbalcerak
    A favorite for over 10 years!
    The most consistent and funny podcast in my rotation! I genuinely feel a void in my life if I miss an episode. CJ, Greg, and Phill I thank you and always recommend this show to someone if they are looking for an amazing video game podcast.
  • kurtglover
    The Best Gaming Podcast...Full Stop.
    I knew these guys from their days at EGM, so when I started listening to podcasts several years ago, I was immediately drawn to give them a listen. Several hundred episodes later and I genuinely look forward to each new episode for my Monday morning commute. Thank you guys for keeping this high school teacher in a good mood through pandemic teaching!
  • JollyOldKrampus
    Podcast enthusiasts rejoice!
    Listen up friends, if your looking for a top notch podcast about video games (sometimes) look no further than the Player One Podcast. The hosts are old timers like myself and have been around the block a few times. They have a wealth of experience and have a great relationship with each other. They worked together at one of the quintessential video game magazines and have remained friends ever since. This friendship really shows through the relaxed and entertaining conversations they have on a weekly basis. I really can’t say enough good things about this podcast. I look forward to it every week. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!
  • ZakalTPL
    An original and one of the best
    P1 is a show I discovered almost a decade ago and have listened to weekly ever since. Join three long time friends as they discuss gaming news, 80s movies and nostalgia, their days working in the games media and anything else that happens to come up. Great information and jokes from guys that know the industry and have an amazing depth of knowledge to pull from. Highly recommended!
  • Peter San.
    My #1 Source or Video Game News
    I started listening to P1P a few years ago and have been listening consistently since. CJ, Greg, and Phil are wonderful to listen to, and keep me informed on the latest in video games while being wonderfully funny too! Keep up the great work!!!
  • The type B
    Best podcast about video games
    This is truly the best podcast about video out on the webs. Not enough Sea of Thieves talk though.
  • tbond22
    I Can Relate to These Guys
    Love the show. All the guys are around the same age as me with kids the same age as mine so it’s nice to hear they are going through the same things as me. I really enjoy the discussions.
  • TheCrimsonComic
    Always a Fun Show
    One of my favorite video game podcasts. They always keep things light, funny and honest. Look forward to it every week.
  • kdoll08
