    Top Notch
    Very refreshing to have intelligent and thoughtful conversation with people in the gaming industry. Ryan McCaffrey is an excellent host! My favorite gaming podcast!
  • LaGrew
    Great show!
    Great podcast with great content ! Get to know some interesting people and their stories !
  • IGNsoundEdditorStop
    Whoever adds the sound effects just stop
    What’s the easiest way to ruin long form dialogue? Adding in sound effects randomly with no concern for the conversation. Check the Jason Schrier interview to understand what I’m talking about.

    Underrated
    One of the best underrated gaming podcasts on the internet. It’s a shame more people don’t know about this.
  • JOSHM117
    Keeps Me Listening!
    I think unfiltereed is so interesting to listen to. Hearing hte backstory of some of the developers behind my favorite games is so great. I listened to the episode with Bonnie Ross and I was all in from there. Keep it going!

    Sound Engineering, GO
    One of the only IGN podcasts to feature NO microphone blasting. My ears thank the geniuses behind Ryan Mccaffrey’s bar/studio because you figured out a way to keep your gawkward hosts from clanging their flailing bone-sleeves into the microphone at every opportunity. Now to go re-engineer any other podcasts mic set-up because IGN is rampant with these so called professional podcasters who love ear-banging you with a flopping limb crashing into the mic.

    Love it
    Always enjoyed Ryan’s work but this is where he shines. Keep them coming!
  • Atlongster
    Good. But shhh.
    Ryan, I like this show. You know what you’re doing. But please, please stop screaming at your audience, especially at the top of the show. This is a podcast not a top 40 countdown. Chill out man. It’s jarring to turn on the podcast and be bombarded by your perky classic dj presentation. This is also an issue for me on Unlocked.
  • GMo!
    Fantastic Interview Show
    Ryan does an incredible job of interviewing these high profile guests! He always makes it fee comfortable while also giving due respect and praise to the bodies of work the guests have brought to us. Love the insight and behind the scenes tidbits you can’t find anywhere else.
  • KennyT85

    This is the best of IGN!
    I consume a lot of stuff from IGN and I love most of it, but this show is by far my favorite. Every episode provides amazing revelations and insight. It’s so important for fans of games to connect with the mindsets of game creators. It enriches our discussions of games and our joy from playing them. More Unfiltered please!
  • thatguymiller
    More then just a video podcast
    This is so much more then a video podcast dives deep into the guest lives and really tries to understand how they got started in this Industry. The host Ryan does an amazing job asking great questions while still letting the guest be the star. 5stars every time it’s a must listen every month.

  • Hodgebaba57
    I didn’t know this was a podcast
    I’ve been listening to Unlocked for close to 5 years, but I never checked this out because I assumed it was only a video on ign. Knowing it’s a podcast, I’m all in! I’m an idiot.
  • Darkredash
    Awesome
    I love this show, and I hope it can find the view s it needs to keep going. People need to hear from these creators!
  • Emaloo to you too
    Best IGN podcast!
    Easily the best IGN podcast. I only wish there were more episodes. If you’re interested at all in the people that make games, you really need to subscribe. Thanks Ryan!
  • Blackipino Jay
    Best gaming BTS around!
    IGN’s Unfiltered have set the bar high for the gaming podcast genre. Each episode has the best guests, and never has a dull moment. Ryan is an awesome interviewer with the way he engages with his guests. It’s also good that you can tell he does his research before each episode and keeps his interviews fresh by asking the right questions. I would recommend this show to fellow gamers or just people who enjoy how things are made. Keep it up Ryan!

  • Sstrieker1
    IGN at its best!
    Ryan’s passion project has delivered a unique, behind the curtain view of game development. I’m always excited to see what / who he has brought into the studio to get a perspective all its own!

    Top Notch Gaming Interviews
    IGN Unfiltered is one of my top podcasts, Ryan does an incredible job interviewing the gaming industries most storied individuals. Keep up the great work, looking forward to future episodes.
  • N2Indie
    Really unique gaming podcast
    Just finished the latest interview with Jenova Chen. I was surprisingly moved in the interview, prompting me to write a review. I love listening to creative minds and never had the opportunity to do so in regard to gaming. Some, like the jenova chen interview, feel like conversations with great artists. It’s wonderful to be able to pull back the curtain on these people and see the inspiration behind some of their works. I can’t wait for more.
  • Gorthar the Honorable
    The No Clip of podcasts!
    One of the most in depth, honest look st some of the gaming industry's most influential and fascinating developers and other key figures. Cannot recommend enough.
  • abonilla11
    Incredible!
    Thank you for doing what you do! Under appreciated but one of the best gaming podcasts out there, informative, inspiring and definitely worth the every second.
  • Serninator86
    Best interview podcast
    I look forward to each episode. Listening to the smart questions that Ryan asks to notable members of the gaming industry is a real treat. I love learning about the personal side of game development and this is a great view into that world. Keep it up!
  • Lmjthehitman
    Great interviews
    Love hearing where these game directors come from and what influenced them.
  • fusillieric
    So MUCH insight!
    Ryan isn't a great “Games-journalist”, he’s a great Journalist-journalist (period). His smart questions, genuine interest, an rapport with games industry creative types really come across in each interview; even the guests I didn’t have any interest in initially.
  • JoLoBro
    Fascinating
    One of the only ways to get deep dives and fascinating tales straight from devs. Ryan masterfully steers convos with a variety of topics covered
  • 2018jschmeeckle

    Great podcast!
    Ryan does a great job going in-depth with the most influential people in the games industry. I enjoy hearing about how these awesome people got their start and the background industry stuff you never hear about. Keep it up!
  • Sean St.Ledger
    IGN Unfiltered is the best video game podcast out there!
    I love IGN Unfiltered! This show is an in-depth interview show with titans of the gaming industry and it's truest fascinating to learn how the guests became so influential. It's also equally fascinating to learn how some of my favorite games and even games I've never played get created. The passion both Ryan and the interviewee convey for their craft's within the gaming industry is beyond compare and as a gamer/listener it's a real treat to gain the insight this show provides If you happen to read this Ryan, you are killing it and keep up the great work.
  • Ogswagtrill
    Best interviews
    Most interesting stories I've heard in games. Ryan is a great interviewer and is always prepared. He's he Nardwaur of video games! Check out unlocked on IGN too! Thanks for the awesome podcasts Ryan!
  • KNRZSN
    Monthly highlight
    Some of the most interesting interviews with some of the most interesting people in video games.

    Best Interviews Ever
    I love hearing Ryan dissect the inner minds of these brilliant game designers. This makes me want to go back to school to get into game design, super inspiring work!
  • BigDaddyAtra
    I love the deep dive
    Exactly like the title says, Ryan does a great job on this show keep it up!
  • anaper123
    Wow absolutely amazing
    This podcast nails it just incredible interesting conversations keep it up
  • Pauly P0p
    Ryan's best work
    The older I get the more I can't stand IGN, and it's shallow take on video game culture and it's poor representation of gamers as a whole, most gamers are regular working class people and just because we don't dye our hair blue doesn't mean we love games any less.... with that being said This is by far the most interesting and informative podcast that has anything to with IGN and is actually very good regardless of who publishes it. I've always like Ryan and he seems sincere. I'm happy he got this gig and I hope they stick with him and this format. I wish IGN would put out more mature content.

  • Kev100100
    A Fascinating Look From A Different Angle
    Ryan does a great job exploring a different side of the industry with people who have such interesting stories, stories that for some reason otherwise go untold. Keep it up. I have loved all 10 episodes so far and look forward to who ever comes next.
  • CJ4290
    One of the best things to see in my podcast feed
    This is an amazing podcast, if you have any interest in Gaming, this is a great listen. Ik you've been getting some flack from some idiots on the Internet, but know that this is an amazing podcast, I've listen to every episode, and will continue listening, it's great hearing these stories from greats in gaming. The story about Phil asking if he should quit too, just reaffirmed my belief that he's the right person for Xbox, and a great person to be in the gaming community. Please continue this series.
  • xReMINGT0N
    Amazing Podcast!
    Ryan was born to do Radio! His voice is easy to listen to & his interviewing prowess is undeniable. Seriously give this a listen as you'll get a better understanding as to what goes on behind the scenes in gaming as well as the chance to get an "inside look" into these popular game developers heads as Ryan really asks the tough questions. 5 Stars without a doubt!

    Amazing Video Game Interviews
    I absolutely love this podcast ! Ryan McCaffrey interviews some of the most interesting people in the gaming industry. Each episode is enlightening and entertaining. I didn't originally know much about some of the people before listening to the podcasts and each time left with an understanding and appreciation for their work. I look forward to each new episode and only wish that they were more frequent. If you a fan of video games and have any appreciation for gaming history, you owe it to yourself to listen to this podcast.

    Long form interviews with top notch people
    This is by far one of my favorite Podcast not only at IGN but out of the many i listen to weekly. While this is only a monthly podcast, it is worth every minute. There is so much story that never is told outside of closed doors but you sure can expect those stories to surface in an exciting and engaging way that really makes you think. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to hear form top executives in the gaming industry or anyone that just loves a good story.
