I still listen to gerstmann but I have to run the podcast at 1.6x speed with silence trimmed out due to him running solo. He really needs a co-host to bounce off of.

His best podcast episodes have been the rare Ben cohost or his recent appearance on VGBees.

I don't actually vibe much with Gerstmann's game preferences, but his industry knowledge and proximity to nonsense in all facets of his life makes him a great storyteller.

Hard agree to all of this. My tastes don't align with his in a lot of ways, but because he's so consistent on what he does and does not like, he's an excellent barometer for whether or not I will enjoy a game even if I have the opposite experience to his.
