    Best Podcast
    By far the best podcast. I have been listening since the beginning and will listen until death. Heat death of universe. Instagram: @noahtrombone

    Long time listener, first time reviewer
    I’ve listened to every episode of the Minnmax show since the beginning! The computer loving cohorts have assembled a great crew full of vast insights ranging from gaming journalism experience, video game lawyer insight, video essayists, game store owners, gaming collectors and gaming marketing/PR experience. At the heart of them all are major fans of video games and that really shines through in all of their content. Positive attitudes and fostering a great community are strengths of Minnmax. I’m so glad to see the show thriving and can’t wait for the years to come. Listen and share! Instagram handle: @gtrumpet93

    Fun group talking about fun games

    Casual, professional, informative
    One of the best gaming podcasts out there. Covers all sectors of video games and is well produced, flows really well (thanks to the experienced host Ben Hanson), and has a consistent format you can rely on. Must listen. Insta @rjalishio
  • Jula Mai
    The only video game podcast
    I used to listen to so many video game podcasts as a teenager but now as adult there’s only one I regularly keep up with. MinnMax makes me happy. I’m so glad it exists. insta: @jula_mai
  • AlexC3131
    A weekly highlight
    Ben is a great host and I appreciate his care for the audience experience. Listener questions makes it more engaging and feel more connected to the show. Very much appreciate the more diverse voices where most game pods don’t feature women. Insta Rhys.c339

    Uno de los mejores!
    Mi primera reseña para uno de mis podcasts favoritos. He tenido el placer de conocer he interactuar con varios de los miembros de MinnMax y son tan geniales en persona como parecen en el programa! Esa autenticidad se traduce en uno de los mejores podcasts de la industria de los video juegos que existe! Honestidad, humor y un toque de caos que hace soltar la carcajada mientras escuchas en un día aburrido de trabajo o mientras te relajas en casa. Gracias por 5 años y brindemos por muchos años más!

    They clearly enjoy games
    Each episode I've listened to is just bubbling with enthusiasm for games and the gaming community in general. Every critique or disagreement is grounded in respect and that's hard to find nowadays. Instagram: hollyp.22
  • Bree_16
    Unique voices, always an intriguing listen!
    MinnMax has done an impressive job of recruiting a unique variety of people that bring interesting perspectives from all over the games industry. They often rotate this crew in and out so that every episode has a different dynamic, that makes each one interesting to listen too. They do a great job at covering weekly news topics that gaming fans should know about while also getting to spend a good amount of time reminiscing on whatever random topic happens to get brought up, with fun segments that even include some listener participation. They keep a good amount of professionalism in their talks, but still manage to feel like friends just chatting. Truly a great podcast and everyone should also check out their YouTube channel which has a wider variety of content. Keep it up!! @bd-pebbles.bsky.social

    Must-listen video game podcast for the latest and greatest
    Every week Ben Hanson and his rotating cast of computer-loving cohorts have a fun, entertaining discussion of game news and reviews. There’s something for everyone here including community questions that lead to interesting rabbit holes and diversions. You even learn something worth sharing at the end with their “get a load of this” segment. There’s an extra bonus whenever they are able to get a guest game industry vet, and their other podcasts like Bonus Pod and the stellar Pew Pew Bang are also worth checking out.

    Great cohosts and message
    Been a follower since the beginning. Great group of cohorts with a variety of professional backgrounds in the gaming industry that provides a nice depth to their discussions of games and gaming news. Also by being more positive focused, it helps lift the subject of games and those who make and support it. (@yoursh on bsky and twitter)

    Friends Hanging Out
    This is one of my favorite podcasts. Ben brings a certain je ne sais quoi that you can’t find anywhere else. This show has everything most gaming podcasts have, but what sets it apart are its fun games and topics they bring up. Get a Load of This is an awesome way to end a show, and I can’t tell you how many times I got a load of something that I wanted to share with my friends after. Highly recommended.

    I’ve been an avid listener since day one, and I honestly believe this is one of the best and most insightful gaming podcasts around. Very happy how they’ve expanded the cast over the years. Plus, this is a very relaxing listen, in my opinion. Keep up the great work! @holmdahlilama.bsky.social

    People getting better
    Minnmax is a show about people I like who like things I like getting better. They are such a great positive voice in the culture we enjoy, and their diverse backgrounds in games media, the industry, and video platforms create such meaningful and insightful conversations. (Insta: Kiwami.brandon)
  • KibbsMcGibbs
    Great to listen to while gaming
    I discovered them from the Kit and Krysta podcast, another gaming related podcast, and since then they have appeared in my regular podcast rotation. I love the amount of coverage they provide, and the show is always so lively! They help keep me up to date on everything gaming related. @kibbsmcgibbs on Bluesky :3

    Alliteration Station (Minnmax #1!)
    A fantastically thorough video game news podcast with a plethora of positive people playing along! Excellent and consistent content devoid of snark or clickbait; my #1 go-to outlet for gaming news! Surrounded by an engaged and welcoming online community. ❤️ (Totally not writing a review for a potential Switch 2, but I'll still drop my Twitter handle just in case... >_>) @bionicbenbo
  • EWP87
    A core gaming podcast
    One of the ones you should be listening to each week for news and gameplay impressions. It’s got Sarah and Haley sometimes… but it should really have them all the time. Ben’s there too. Insta: appeteazer
  • D1ngoh
    My go to gaming podcast
    The MinnMax Podcast is always such a joy to listen to. I've been following Ben since the Game Informer days and appreciate how good he is at creating engaging discussions. The crew has a nice variety of interests and opinons which helps keep things interesting. One my go to podcasts every week. Being based in Minnesota(the best state in the US) doesn't hurt either! d1ngoh on Discord

    10/10 Gaming Podcast
    This has become my favorite gaming podcast. I’ve been listening since day dot, and have really enjoyed its evolution over the years. The cast is a wide and diverse set of personalities, providing a variety of angles and opinions on games and the gaming landscape at large. In addition to covering the latest blockbuster titles, I especially appreciate the amount of attention to the smaller games. MinnMax’s end of the year episodes are my favorite and ones I frequently relisten to. The format is inspired by Giant Bomb’s format from years past and I think MM has become the new high standard for me. So jump in, watch the YouTube’s, dive into their other show formats (New Show+, Bonus Pod, Pew Pew Bang), and be ready for a thoughtful, casual, and funny listen. @robmccann.bsky.social

    Minnmax is the best
    I’ve been subbed on Patreon for a while at the 5 dollar tier and it’s so worth it. Very relaxed vibe in a space that can be toxic at times. Instagram - terminallybill Discord- terminallybill.

    Best Cohorts Around!
    My favorite podcast to catch every week. It feels like friends getting together to hang out. They’re just some good friends, talking games, and being better every episode. (My review is genuine but I’d love to win the current giveaway too ;-) ) Discord: LOREM_IPSUM_DJL
  • chickape
    Always on
    My partner and I always have the MinnMax show on in the background. It’s like we’re all hangin out, I love it :)
  • McClaneRCA
    The best gaming podcast on the interest
    This is the best gaming podcast on the internet. Full stop. The shows are so much fun and with so many different cohorts with varying taste in games, you always get a well-rounded view of anything they discuss. It doesn’t hurt that Ben Hanson and myself share the same favorite movie and video game. If you’re not subscribed to this podcast, you should be! @mcclanerca.bsky.social

    Best Gaming Show Ever- Better than KF, Easy Allies, Ect
    All my life (since 2019), my goal was to be a computer loving cohort, unfortunately I don’t do well in frigid Minnesota ice lakes so Ben told me no. Still if I were you I would listen to this podcast and their whole slew of internet radio programs including on Patreon. I would love one more show a week, but even still 1 Minnmax shows is equal to 6 KF Gamecasts (I like Kinda Funny too) Listen now or GameStop wins. Trey3Michael- IG
  • KBone515
    One of a kind
    Been listening to Minnmax since day 1 and Ben Hanson and the gang since the GI days and I have to say, they all just keep getting better and better. Every week I’m led to check out some game I never thought I’d play or some other media I never thought i’d be interested in. Needless to say MinnMax has broadened my horizons and led me into true nerdhood. As the years roll on the content keeps improving and today this media outlet is humming like a well oiled machine, it’s awesome to see. Huge shoutout to these guys and gals and can’t thank them enough for this content. Patreon is super duper worth it too! Currently watching through the SGF and other showcase reactions and I wouldn’t take my gaming news any other way. Thank you MinnMax and cheers to many more years of success.

    Awesome and diverse group of perspectives around all things gaming!!
    Been a fan of Ben and most of the cohorts since back when they were at GameInformer. Been following and enjoying since they formed MinnMax, and have really loved how they have continued to add more folks who bring different opinions on games. PewPewBang, new podcast that has started under their group is also a banger of a listen. Always laughing at all the stories and love the chemistry among the gang! Be good!

    Hi from SD
    MinnMax has become one of my go to podcasts. Initially the runtime scared me off but the show is broken into lots of segments that make it easy to pick up and come back to. Listening to the crew offer multiple perspectives on topics around the industry always keeps the show interesting. IG: kurtygbobcat
