The Podcast Junkie - Week of 12/22/2014

The Heroic 28s Podcast – Episode 107
The focus of this episode is the Heroic 28s review of the Dark Eldar codex. There was a decent amount of detail and thought into each unit, but the overall review seemed to lack the energy of prior episodes. What makes this episode interesting is that the lack of energy is explained at the end of it. Needless to say, 2015 will be a very interesting year based on the announcement at the end.

The Southern State of 40K – Episode 31
There has been a lot of talk around the recent changes to base sizes in 40K, but this was the first discussion I have heard that was a well thought out view on the topic. This episode also does a great job of sharing the hosts’ love of the Imperial Guard.

Super Hero Speak – Episode 85
One of the fun things about podcasts in December is to hear the various year-in-reviews that each one does. One of the things that stood out to me in this episode was their talk about this season’s Doctor Who and the new doctor. I found it very entertaining to hear them refer to him as “Angry Eyes” and really found myself agreeing with many of their opinions about the show.

As for their usual discussion about all things Marvel and DC, this episode was very balanced when it came to talking about the two “factions” in the comic book industry. I was a bit surprised by their thoughts on Agents of Shield as I personally have not been enjoying this season. On the flip side, I totally agree with them when it comes to the Flash. Again, if you are looking for a non-GW podcast to enjoy, you cannot go wrong with SHS.

Preferred Enemies – Episode 90
This episode begins with the show venting about the limited nature of recent book releases like End Times: Glottkin and Shield of Baal: Leviathan. It was a very balanced discussion that got across the one host’s frustration with the situation while not becoming a diatribe against GW. This episode also dives into the change in base size, doing a similar job to the guys from SS40K when talking about the subject. When it came to reviewing the Shield of Baal: Leviathan and Shield of Baal: Deathstorm, the review was handled well.
