2026-05-161h 34RPGrindersRPGrinders EP 851 - WE Have the Power!After a too long hiatus the Grinders are back, baby! We know we've been missed during these hard times, so we have a lot of making up to do! Tons of news, Stinkos, Sweetos, and reviews!
We were gone for most of April. The curiosity is eating you alive. What have the Grinders been doing for the last month? Fighting fascism? Sitting on our asses? Became crypto millionaires only to realize crypto is a scam and we are all much poorer than when we started? Was Frank drunk and wandering around Vegas lost? Did Break live his...

2026-04-2909 minRPGrindersRPGrinders EP 850.5 - Frank Branches Takes Off!In this special canned episode of RPGrinders, Eric exclusively gets through weeks worth of news before Break does his review of the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy IV.
Then Break and Eric get through there shared stinkos of the various acts of corruption and anti-LGBT laws still being committed against the populace. It goes on so long, we skip Sweetos and go straight to the Free for All Topic of this terrible political climate that is full of cruelty, doublespeak, and hypocrisy. Be sure to turn in next time as the full crew will be back and...
2026-04-281h 21RPGrindersRPGrinders Special - Metroid Retrospective part 4Hi gang, it's the final part of the Metroid retrospective series for quite some time. While we have run out of Metroid games proper to talk shop, Eric is joined by guest Fanboymaster from RPGamer's Q and A podcast to talk about the genre that the Metroid series created. while we don't go over every game, and gloss over some I really wish would have been remembered to be mentioned, I hope you enjoy this bit of discussion!

2026-03-2654 minRPGrindersRPGrinders EP 848 - War Never ChangesHappy Spring, or Second Winter, or Third Winter, or whatever crazy weather pattern our ill environment throws at us. For example, here is Southern Ohio it was a beautiful day of mid 70s weather but tomorrow we are expecting highs in the 30s. Our climate is in danger, what will we do to save it? Also, what does any of that have to do with another new episode of RPGrinders??? I mean, besides the fact that we all need this planet to survive!
What could possibly be a better way for man to fight back against an...

2026-02-181h 42RPGrindersRPGrinders EP 845 - Return to the WastelandTwenty Twenty-Six has only been with us for a month but it has already worn out it's welcome! Military in our streets, internment camps in our cities, an environment that is clearly reaching a tipping point, and a corrupt government run by pedophiles and their protectors. As we watch as our freedoms and rights disappear, take comfort in the fact that the Grinders are still here to spread cheer. It isn't much but we are all in this together. We all have to oppose fascism in our own ways, and deal with our own personal stresses.

2026-01-241h 07RPGrindersRPGrinders EP 843 - You Can't Keep a Grinder Down for LongAfter several weeks of malaise, the crew finally pulls itself together to start off the year with more nonsense! The news largely consists of digital game soundtrack releases, patches and another anime turned videogame. For reviews Frank reviews Marshmallow, Break reviews Aztec Batman, and Eric reviews Wake Up, Dead Man, and also previews the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demos. For Stinkos, the usual crap being done by the Fascist Party and thier minions, ICE(fuck ICE btw). At least it's the first show of the year!

The Drunkards CallDC59:Technical DifficultiesWow was this a rough show to get out. Technically speaking this is a pretty brutal show. Conversationally speaking it was superb. Frank Branches from Wicked Radio Network was with us. We had a great time chatting about Arizona's retarded governor. We also got into Louis CK's view on kids and tech. As a bonus Fitz goes on a helluva rant at the end of the show. For all the frustrations we experienced, it was still a very fun show. We apologize for the sound quality this go around and promise we'll do better down the road.
