Respect the Crit, currently running a SW campaign, is a masterpiece of a podcast for anyone that appreciates actual play in it's purest, theatrical sense. The two performers are exceptional, they play their characters in ways that only the best RPG players can match. On top of this the sound design and editing are crisp and well executed. And the story hits home too, I won't hide that I found myself moved to tears at times, such is the skill of the narrator in conjunction with the performers. Ian, in the hope that you will read this, I think you are an incredibly talented editor. I also listen to "Campaign: Skyjacks", a show that you surely know since it's trough one of their ads that I found out about your podcast. The incredible thing is that, despite their budget surely being much superior than yours, your editing and episodes are, in my opinion, of an even higher quality. Keep doing what you're doing because this podcast is my favourite actual play and I don't want to stop listening any time soon!

I've been listening to Campaign podcast for several years now, going as far back as their first episode with the Star Wars setting. Mr. D'amato and company always bring a fantastic level of performance to the table, both in a theatrical sense, but also from a roleplaying game perspective. James has actually thought me how to be a better GM in my own games, and I'll be forever grateful for that. The story in both their SW campaign and their current Skyjacks (Flying pirates, yeah it's that cool!) setting is thrilling, with well timed plot twists and reveals. Sound design is astounding, with dedicated tunes from a professional composer that doesn't pull any punches. My only gripe with the show is that the performers (James included) tend to go off the rails quite a lot. But honestly the performance in those exhilarating moments is so top-notch that most often you don't even mind.

John Green is, without a doubt, a master of writing, and this is showcased not just in his books but in this podcast as well. The episodes are touching in a way that no other podcast I ever listened to is, I find myself crying at almost every episode. His "reviews" of human-related topics are insightful, brilliant, and varied. I can only imagine how much research he has to go trough for each topic, but the results clearly show. Easily a 5/5.
