    Ivy Insights

    The Dads After Dark Show podcast is a refreshing and unique take on Nintendo gaming podcasts. While the reviewer admits to not being a huge fan of games, they still find this podcast entertaining and worth listening to. One standout feature of the show is their hour-long discussion about Twitch hot tub streams, which is an unexpected topic that sets it apart from other podcasts in the genre. The host, John, also offers intriguing and unconventional takes on various subjects that must be heard to be believed.

    The format of the show, with its Top 10 list and inclusion of news and bigger themes, provides an interesting blend of topics that keeps listeners engaged. The "after dark" theme adds an extra layer of entertainment, particularly with Sadie's contribution at the end. This podcast covers subjects that you won't hear anywhere else, making it a great change of pace from more traditional gaming podcasts.

    One of the best aspects of The Dads After Dark Show is the chemistry between the two hosts. Their friendship shines through in their discussions and adds a sense of authenticity to their conversations. Additionally, they often share useful information about games that may not be found in tutorials or guidebooks. This has helped listeners learn minor tricks and improve their understanding of certain game mechanics.

    On the downside, due to its "after dark" theme, this podcast is not suitable for listening with kids around. Some episodes may contain content that some listeners might find too explicit or crude for their taste. However, despite occasional topics that may be too much for some individuals, the banter between hosts keeps listeners coming back for more.

    What sets this podcast apart from others is how well both hosts articulate what they love about a game while also discussing what they don't like. This balanced approach is refreshing compared to other podcasts where complaints dominate discussions about otherwise enjoyable games. Furthermore, they cover eshop games that often go underrepresented in other shows, providing unique gaming impressions.

    In conclusion, The Dads After Dark Show podcast stands out as an informative and entertaining Nintendo gaming podcast. While it may not be suitable for all audiences due to its explicit content, the chemistry between the hosts and their ability to articulate their thoughts on games make it a worthwhile listen. Whether you're looking for some gaming insights or simply enjoy banter-filled discussions, this podcast delivers on both fronts.
