DecadoGreat podcast for keeping up on new game releasesOut of all the gaming podcasts I listen to, this is the best one to learn about all the different new games coming out, from the biggest AAA games to indies nobody else talks about. Lots of great personalities too. I love that they’re representing my state/city too. Discord: decado1

DumpxtruckAn inclusive and informative show for everyone who loves gaming!I look forward to listening to minnmax every week on my commute. They provide a diverse variety of voices and opinions, and I really appreciate hearing thoughts and points of views from their cohorts. Other podcasts in the gaming space don’t have this many voices and it really a long way towards informing me of what’s new and hot in video games. @toddlacroix_ on i instagram!

TomTomatoTomPotatoSmart and funny game journalismMinnmax has been a really fun show to hear gaming news, reviews and discover new games. It has sort of replaced traditional journalism for me but with added humor. There’s plenty of hosts with different personalities and points of views so when someone doesn’t like something there’s usually someone else on the show that does. It’s nice to turn on and listen to something positive with so much negativity online and in gaming. It’s been a reprieve and I hope they do the show for a long time. IG @jesselovestacos

ThisistotallynotmeGreat Game News PodcastI absolutely love the minnmax show. I heard about it from another gaming podcast and am so glad I gave it a listen! I enjoy how long the episodes are, more content than shows with only 30 min episodes. Insta cavalierdread

WhiskeyshotgunsGreat ChemestryPositive vibes, thoughtful; MinnMax quickly became a weekly download last year and a quick subscription on patreon and youtube! MinnMax is the perfect companion to slaving away at the 9-5 suffering beneath hellish capitalism. You might even learn a thing or two! It’s a tremendous value. Also love that host Ben Hanson shouts out smaller pods like Into the Aether. @whiskeyshotguns.bsky.social

ZeekthemeekBest podcast everI don’t even play that many video games but I find everything about video games fascinating. Ben and the cohorts really have the best vibes and I’m always happy when I see a new episode come out. I love the inherent positivity Minnmax brings to the gaming space and I really appreciate all the different perspectives we get from all the cohorts. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for all you do!

Emmett Watkins Jr.Great Show, Good Job!Howdy! Longtime first time, and man lemme tell ya, as an Android guy it was a TASK to figure out how to leave a review. But this show is worth it and it's easily one of the best vidoe game podcasts ever made. They have some of the most intersting and diverse casts in games podcasts (whihc is quite a feat alone), and they manage to always passonately discuss eveyr game and topic on each episode. And shout out to the community for bringing some of the best questions since my time listening to old school Giant Bomb. Ben and the team should be proud of the show they put out every week, and it has easily become one of my weekly staples. I even subbed on Patreon to hear more from them! Just an excelent, upbeat, informative, and entertaining show! (@ejsponge61.com on Bluesky!)

Minn to the maxAlways Good Minn to the MaxI’m newish to Minnmax, but they have quickly become part of my regular rotation of gaming podcast. They bring positive energy, unique takes, and I almost always hear about a new game I want to try. It’s also one of the few gaming podcast I can listen to with my kids in the car. Can’t recommend them enough. Edit: @seanzeidler.bsky.social

dancin_man97 (Discord)Best gaming podcast out thereCaught up from the beginning of MinnMax’s inception after being out of the loop on games media for a while. Been following Hanson since GI and love the candid nature of the show, and the assembled cast is 👌🏻 Thanks for keeping me in the loop and helping my love for games stay fresh!

RITMRMSMy weekly disconnect from lifeMy weekly getaway of enjoying news and recommendations on games this show is full of great conversations and has a large enough cast to cover all genres. If I was gonna have a negative point it would be Ben Hanson not liking kingdom hearts but I forgive him. Now that the review is over if I’m lucky enough to win the blue ray collection discord oreosghost#0388

Chris (Discord: clydaler)The Most Optimistic Gaming Podcast AroundI’ve been a consistent listener since the podcast’s inception in 2019. From multi-decade gaming veterans to adolescents wanting to gain more insight into the world of video games, this podcast has something for everyone. You likely will not find a more diverse group of people with different interests and opinions that can share such great conversation on the newest and oldest of games. One of the best parts of my week is seeing a brand new MinnMax episode pop up for me to listen to. Thank you to Ben and the crew for years of entertainment! - Chris (Discord: clydaler)

Anders GonzalySolid gaming podcast: week-in, week-outMinnmax has slowly become one of my favorite sources of gaming knowledge. It’s opionated yet easy-going, informative without being preachy, and a lot of playful ribbing among the hosts without getting mean. I’m really happy to have found this wholesome corner of the gaming world. Every week I look forward to Thursday for a new episode to learn more about the latest news and games to check out. Thanks MM crew! Contact: @tacoghost.bsky.social

jarrydeppcosplayThe ONLY Video Game Podcast I Listen ToMy entry into video game news and reviews began with Game Informer magazine thanks to a subscription through Software Etc. in 2001 (which later became GameStop). I read those magazines religiously and carried them with me everywhere. Eventually I discovered the Game Informer Show, a companion podcast, that Ben Hanson hosted. When Ben left, I was heartbroken because the effort he put into the podcast elevated it above his predecessors and successors. Upon learning of MinnMax, a podcast and YouTube show Ben had created with a handful of former Game Informer staff writers, I was elated. MinnMax is a video game news outlet featuring a revolving door of hosts that allows for a diverse set of viewpoints on the latest in news and reviews. In this day and age where I no longer have any print subscriptions, MinnMax keeps me well-informed on the latest video game updates and they are the only source I depend upon to keep up-to-date. Special shoutout to “The Deepest Dive” which is a video game equivalent to a book club. This truly is the best place about games, friends, and getting better! -your loyal fan from Instagram @jarrydeppcosplay

mattsjdjdkfjfnBest gaming podcastMinnmax rocks. Ben is the best host in video game podcasts (seriously, no hyperbole). All the cohorts are great. The show is funny and entertaining for sure but I really appreciate the diversity of perspectives you get on games. A lot of game podcasts are basically 3 ppl monologuing at each other because they are the only person this week who played the game. Minnmax has enough regulars to rotate in and out that you always get multiple perspectives. So yeah combine an amazing host who’s funny and great at what he does, friendly rotating cast of people all playing games and having interesting perspectives and a general sense than you’re listening to friends chat and have a good time you get the best gaming podcast PS me an my wife loved psychodyssey would have never watched it if not for Ben Hanson I owe him for that matt22220.bsky.social

SethinonAn easy recommendationAs a relative newcomer to this podcast, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at just how great it is. The rotating cast of cohorts means the discussion is always different and interesting, and Hanson is an incredible host who directs the conversation between everyone. If you like gaming podcasts, this is an easy recommendation.
