I gotta admit, when I pressed play on this one I did not expect to hear so much discussion of the main character’s… midsection. Yet, that’s exactly where the hosts of Square Roots go, to hilarious results. This first episode in their current multi-part series on Vagrant Story (PS1) is a great introduction to Square Roots, a show which describes itself as “a book club for your fave RPGs.” While the name implies they only cover games from Square Enix, their deep back-catalog going back to 2016 includes multi-episode series on Yakuza, Persona, Suikoden, Fable and others too. And the great thing is that the podcast’s entire run is evergreen, so it’s easy to go back and listen to a series on your favorite games or perhaps one you want to start playing.
