So glad this is continuing! Also: best podcast theme song ever.

I’ve listened to these guys for years and can’t believe I never did them the favor a solid rating. Excellent podcast that covers iOS, Android, and some Switch games. It’s my favorite podcast concerning mobile games. The hosts are knowledgeable and great to listen to. They interact well with each other. They also consistently produce shows...a rarity in the podcasting world. Keep up the great work.

The TA guys know mobile gaming and know how to make a consistently interesting and informative podcast. I've been listening for over a decade, and continue to enjoy it every week. Stay awesome, Jared and Eli.

I have been listening to TouchArcade on and off for quite a while, and it is always a blast! Love the banter between Eli and Jared! I don't even have an iPad or iPhone anymore. (Updated to a Pixel 6 pro recently) I always find cool stuff to buy, or look into. Lately this show has me looking at a Playdate and a Steam Deck. Keep up the great work!

Love them

How many times can you say the word "like" in one sentence? Listen to this podcast to find out, they both easily manage to say it at least 10 times per sentence. No, this is not a compliment, it is very distracting and irritating to listen to, it ruins an otherwise wonderful show.

I wish podcasts that are not political would keep politics off their shows and stick with the content they’re suppose to carry

Easily one of the best. Keep up the great work!

Eli and Jared rock- real guys, real reviews and really good gamers that care about me not wasting time on BS- garage apps. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this site and your podcast. Rick from Oregon.

LOVE ELI and Jared just a great and informative podcast best in the business Speedyph#9058

So far this year on the podcast, y’all have hated new iPhones, hated new iPads, hated Apple TV, hated Mac and complained about Apple and gaming. Tough to get excited for your brand when the bitterness is so obvious. Starts and ends with Eli & leadership team. I have been a huge fan since the beginning. Times change, but TA hasn’t. Mobile gaming is huge both in Audience and $. But TA seems stuck in the past. Branding? Old. The website? Barely serviceable . YouTube presence? Barely. Writing quality and format? Stale I hope the brand, strategy, leadership & team work out a plan to make TA the best it’s ever been. As I long loyal fan, it seems the best of TA is the past. And well frankly, I don’t want that to be the case.

I listen to the show every week. You can expect to hear mobile game news, gameplay impressions, discussions on free-to-play and the state of mobile gaming. Eli and Jared are insightful and funny. The only con for me is the profanity.

The best ios gaming podcast for politics, beer reviews, Tesla news and just about everything else not related to ios gaming. When they do get to games discussion you'll have a great time hearing about 2-3 games for 30min in which the names of the games being discussed will only be mentioned once. A staple of any good podcast! Throw in some complaining about ios gamers and you have yourself an all-around great show! Confused? An ios gaming show that complains about ios gaming and the ios gamers that make up the community? Yeah, prepare yourself for much more confusion. Don’t worry though, between the 2 hosts they have like 20 years of gaming experience… A fact they will certainly mention multiple times a show. What they clearly don’t have experience of is podcasting on microphones from the 21st century. Hope you enjoy a podcast that sounds like it’s being recorded on a Greyhound station pay phone from 1992. This certainly is one of the few ios gaming podcasts out there. But don’t confuse scarcity as a sign of quality. The bar has been set. So low in fact that someone somewhere could easily raise it. Someone… please… somewhere… raise this bar. You’re our only hope…

I know the App Store Today section is awesome, but its nice to get 3rd party recommendations. I hope you guys continue for a long time.

This podcast is a great weekly summary of what's going on in mobile gaming.

I really love the TouchArcade community. Their iOS gaming coverage is the best in the world. I wish the site and everyone involved in maintaining the site plenty of success in the future.

Before I found TouchArcade and their podcast I didn't know what was going on in the AppStore. The guys at TouchArcade do a great job of filtering out all the chaff and helping you find the good stuff on the AppStore.

Maybe you've only played Angry Birds - but you've played it every day since since it came out...maybe you only play Candy Crush - but you've sunk hours into it. Even if you only play one game...you're a gamer. And wouldn't you occasionally like more games? But let's admit it, the App Store can be overwhelming. How to find the good games? Your first step might be to visit the Touch Arcade website, but you should also check out this podcast. Eli and Jared discuss the latest news in gaming and talk about some of that week's new games. Touch Arcade curates the games for you...weeding out the great games from the weak ones. The hosts are congenial and frequently laugh-out-loud funny. And their love for games and gaming shines through in their podcast.

Eli and Jared always find the best games for your iPhone or iPad out of the avalanche of new releases each week. If you want to know what's up in iOS gaming, you really only need to listen to this show and you'll know. Plus, they're pretty funny. There's even a video version for backers where you can see the games being played. Guaranteed weekly viewing for me.

Every week I know that the Touch Arcade Show is going to bring me some of the best mobile games miraculously picked out the the chaff of the rest of the App Store. Eli and Jared have a great taste and enjoy a wide range of genres, which means you're bound to enjoy at least one of their weekly highlighted titles (that they so kindly link in their show notes). If I had the money, I'd definitely subscribe to their Patreon so I could watch the video version where the demo each of the featured games. I haven't been able to own a console for a while now, because reasons, but the Touch Arcade Show and website have shown me that you don't need another multi-hundred dollar device to play some of the best games around. P.S. I sing along with the theme song every time I hear it. P.P.S. They occasionally let their RPG specialists hijack the feed which is also pleasant and informative and a little more Canadian.

Love these guys. They do a lot to make sure we get all the info

I have been listening for years now and don't know why it took me so long to write a review. You guys have been stellar entertainment and have successfully corerced me to throw money into the App Store with your reviews and your fantastic website. I love all the work you do...thank you!

I know these guys need to make money but the podcast is changing for the worse with the implementation of video via Patreon. Half the time they get caught up playing the game and not describing what's going on, leaving us non-backer plebs in the dark. This used to be one of my favorite gaming podcasts along with Kotaku (in all its incarnations) and the GiantBomb/Beastcast, but now it's kind of an afterthought when I have absolutely nothing else to listen to.

Update for March 2017: Hey guys, still doing a great job. This is hands down the best iPhone gaming podcast, even with the recent talk of the Switch. (beats the wrestling talk that used to pop up years ago). ---- Update for June 2015: The best, and most consistently good iOS gaming podcast out there. But I do miss Brad! ----- These guys bring it every week. What's pretty awesome is their consistency. I'm always able to count on getting a good dose of humor and a nice balance of off topic discussions mixed with iOS gaming. forum name: pinpoint007 thanks. -------previously from July 2012---------- Fun show guys, I listen in every week (and occasionally send in emails). If you mix it up sometimes with some of the other touch arcade writers, all the better too! But, still gotta go with Team Beard.

Touch arcade is awesome! Highly recommend! :)

I've listened to many iOS podcasts, but TouchArcade is by far the best one out there! Eli and Jared are enthusiastic about gaming and it shows. Sometimes the show will veer off course into other areas, but that's okay. Big fan for many years!

TouchArcade is the place to go to for all things mobile gaming. Their podcast is absolutely incredible.

TouchArcade is the best podcast for anyone that loves mobile games. Absolutely love the podcasts!

This podcast is great. Learn all about the latest games on iOS that are worthy of discussion. Best of all: no energy timers or multiple currencies. Only good discussions and new games to check out!

The best, most robust website and app for game reviews. Period. And now they have a podcast! Love you guys!

Touch Arcade is an outstanding site. Great reviews, great people working there, tips, jokes, a sense of community...just outstanding all around. I happily support their patreon. I wish the folks at apple would see how short sighted it is to not support a team of talented reviewers bringing iOS gamers together. Love this site, this app, and this podcast!

Engrossing! I built the finest chicken coop in the Pacific NW while listening almost exclusively to this podcast! Thanks guys!

I noticed the host bragging in the first quarter hour about how the show is unique because it's 2 hours long. That would be a good thing of it was 2 hours of actual game discussion. Instead it's more like 1 hour of game discussion interspersed with banal personal discussion and bad jokes. The host's jokes are easy to identify because he follows each one up with an obligatory "ummm..." as if providing a space for you to laugh. Bad radio, guys :( Stick to the game discussion, it's why we listen. One good hour is better than two mediocre ones.

So the main guy talks super quiet, except when he does a big huff then YELLS in to the mic. The other two guys are always quiet so you have to listen with the volume loud, and if you listen with headphones - the main guy is constantly blowing out your ears. No production or normalization. Avoid this podcast

Their audio mix might not be the best, they say "jank" a lot, reviews are often off the cuff, and they will occassionally talk about wrestling, but this is one of my favorite podcasts. If anyone understands the game industry right now and where it is heading it's them. They do have roots traditional gaming, but have also been there from day 1 of the App Store and really understand what the new generation of gamers are looking for. Not only do I enjoy hearing their honest feedback on new releases, but also opinions on Apple products and the mobile gaming scene in general.

I've been listening to this podcast since the Brad days. I have never had an iPhone because a simple flip phone has always suited my low-tech lifestyle. I do have an iPad however and enjoy spending time with Eli, Jared and Mike, keeping current on the products and applications that seem to captivate most of the civilized world. Perhaps because I am less tech oriented I enjoy equally all the tangential and completely off the rails discussions that can result when three interesting people get together to chat. To be honest, I listen mostly to simply hang with some friends. Whatever the topic, I know I will enjoy the time spent with these guys. It is an hour or so each week that I genuinely look forward to.

So like the main guy sounds exactly like this guy I shared an office with. He doesn't Iike swearing so I bet he's like a hardcore Christian too. Then there's the side kick guy who I imagine is big and probably wears trendy glasses. The sidekick guy always reiterates the same examples of their discussion topics at least four times. WE GET YOUR POINT DUDE! Then there's the mascot who made a couple iPhone games but some other guy actually made them so I'm not sure what his part really is. I just listen to this to hear the latest gossip. Like eating boogers, it's gross and don't let anybody catch you doing it.

The TouchArcade Show is truly the best iOS gaming podcast. Been following these guys for 4 years now and i love their discussion. Eli, Jared and Mike are a solid.. I do miss Brad though. RPG Reloaded is also fantastic.. Shaun and Eric are great Keep up the great work :)

The first several episodes of the Touch Arcade podcast were low-key, intelligent discussions with independent developers, with a focus on craft and entrepreneurship, just like the site itself. They came out on a sporadic schedule, choosing to wait until there was something to say rather than filling a time slot. Eli Hodapp is a fun, informative writer and personality and always has something interesting to add. I never missed an episode. In mid-2011, the podcast was rebooted as "The Touch Arcade Show," and boorish Brad Nicholson came on in an effort to make it "less boring" (his words) and presumably increase their download numbers. Problem: his loud, offensive Dude Bro act (or perhaps it's his real personality?) is a huge turn-off for those of us who preferred the more cerebral approach. 2015 update: hey, I like this podcast again! Smart, on-topic (touch games and the surrounding business and culture) and not too long. I'm very glad that loud guy I didn't like is gone. It's a podcast, mellow is fine, and we can do without that kind of "energy." These guys know gaming and especially the App Store. Shaun Musgrave is smart and interesting and is particularly welcome. I'm glad to see my Patreon contributions going to good stuff in audio as well as written form.

These guys are great. They're genuinely excited about mobile gaming and that's not too common! Love listening to them every week and discovering new iOS games I never would have seen otherwise. Support them on Patreon!

I'm a long time listener and site user of TouchArcade, and overall it has been an amazing source of gaming news, views, and forum community. Like all sites, there are articles some may like more than others, but that should foster a community of diversity and respect. Unfortunately, not everyone who visits the site will treat others with respect and love. Sure, it's the internet. I get that. I just wish all of the writers and podcast personalities would consistently be a little more respectful in comments and in the podcast. But with other non-US mobile gaming sites fostering a more generally positive community, I guess there might be a place here for a bit more sarcasm and condescending now and again. I just wish my written opinions didn't elicit that kind of response, especially when I try to help the site a little, financially. But I appreciate everyone's hard work at TouchArcade, value your opinions of games and news, and love your dedication to mobile gaming, which really is what brings us all together. Thank you to all involved, for the podcasts, and long live the RPG Reload!

Seriously!! Where did you find that song! Every week I get it stuck in my head. I usually don't realize I am humming it to myself until my coworkers look at me questioningly when da base drops. Anyway, been a listener off and on for a long time and I love the podcast. The addition of Mobcrush is amazing, I finally get a chance to interact with you all! Anyway, I ramble...love the podcast and the streams and I look forward to hearing your stuff every week. Can't wait to see what the future holds! -Mindriot07

Eli, Jared, and (sometimes) Mikey host a show with a little edge and a very realistic view of the gaming world. They focus not just on the games, but the world that makes up the gaming community and business environment. If you want a no-spin podcast that finds some really nice gems in the muck of the App Store, this is the one! They deserve money but I'm the gamer who waits for everything to go on sale so I'll give them a 5-star rating and a review instead. It would be 5 and a half stars if they had accents.

If you find yourself pining for the inane rants of middle-aged hipsters, boy are you in for a treat! It still strikes me as completely unbelievable that MacRumors would hire a banned forum troll to run their gaming site, but there you have it. However, it is even more shocking that the guy nearly runs the site into the ground bashing any end user who won't pay a premium for games, but then turns around and begs for money on Patreon, after spending years bashing Kickstarter projects on this very podcast. Best advice you will ever get from an iTunes review? Don't feed these trolls.

The best place for mobile game news. And I guess some wrestling.

You guys are like beats 1 of mobile gaming discovery. I find your reviews of mobile games certainly useful, and really gets a strong voice out for supporting indie developers. I don't remember when was my first episode I started following, but definitely started reading your website since almost day one. Keep up the good work!

Eli and Jared are Amazing. Never stop doing this ever, guys. You are the best, Mike you too ;)

4.5 Stars - I've been listening to the Tocharcade podcst for over two years. Eli, Jared, and Mike (the regular hosts) have been my go to guys for comprehensive news and reviews on the latest iOS games since day one. I can't begin to count how many times their comments brought me around on a game I had been avoiding, but ended up loving. My only criticism is the totally unrelated wrestling content that pops up with regularity. I'm not a fan of wrestling, nor do I listen to a mobile gaming podcast to hear about a subject rarely even tangentially related. Thankfully, Eli, Jared and Mike recognize this, usually saving it for the end of the podcast and give you a heads up when they're making their transition. Again, 4.5 stars for this great podcast.

I've been playing iOS for maybe five years now and have steadily less time to play games...but I love this podcast more and more. Smart, funny commentary on mobile games, games in general, mobile technology, and, for some reason, pro wrestling.

Overall a 5 star podcast. However I subtracted a star because Eli doesn't like Parks & Rec.
