    10 out of 10 soul gems
    I don’t have an Apple account so I took my wife’s phone to give you 5/5 stars and finally be able to say that T0m and Lotus thank you so much for giving us so much lore and content; the real world connections with T0ms philosophy and Lotus adding in facts and snippets from him playing all the side Elder Scrolls games just work so well. The work you guys put in is appreciated so much! Against lotus’s better judgement his podcast voice is great!

    You’re right, but doesn’t make it right
    Maybe you’re right but it’s unflattering to bask in it. There’s nothing wrong with questioning the norm.
  • Quietmilk
    An excellent place to be
    I've found this podcast to be a very entertaining and thoughtful place to go to be more immersed in the Elder Scrolls. Big fan of the show and congrats on the baby, Lotus!
  • KudoBlue
    great podcast for meridia skeptical individuals & also me
    Before listening to this podcast I was big Meridia fan bc she gives me dawnbreaker & I love her. Unfortunately I can longer trust her and solely follow Dibella. Thanks guys, love the podcast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    R0b0ts With Zeros and Lotus the Reviven are excellent show hosts. I love listening to them and their other respective shows(Fallout lorecast and Tales of Tamriel) while at work. I started listening when the Fallout show came out and got the itch to learn more lore and found this show in the process. As my Fallout itch turned into my ESO itch, I found this podcast and have become even more hooked. Can’t wait to continue learning more, especially as I dive into gold road as ES:IV oblivion was my first Bethesda experience and my favorite game. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do! 17/5 stars! [one for ever deadric prince (we forgot about the 18th star)] PS spellcrafting would never make sense in a Skyrim zone as they never had it in game, which is why Oblivion is better (and fitting that Gold Road got “spellcrafting”). So idk why lotus keeps saying that the College of Winterhold would be the best spot for spellcrafting, as Skyrim doesn’t have it :(

    Dynamic
    I recently started listening to you guys during my 12 hour shifts, and also during my gym sessions. The lore and history of TES series has always been intriguing to myself. You two do a tremendous job at going into detail about these things that we all love, and putting them into a perspective many can understand. Keep up the good work! I would definitely love to see a segment done by Robots and Lotus relating the cultures of the races of Tamriel with real life counterparts. A cultural deep dive if you will.

    Good hosts, gooder show
    Do you need something to help you get through a long prison sentence you’re serving underneath the Dragonsreach of Whiterun? Or maybe your sweetroll was stolen and you’re looking for something to keep the mournful thoughts at bay? Well then, boy, do R0B0TS and Lotus have just the thing for you! This podcast is like a metaphorical party hat you can wear while you’re stuck in the dungeons of your mind. I’ve learned so much about the world of The Elder Scrolls that the Thalmor have been trying to track me down for weeks! But I’ll never tell them what I know, and neither should you after you listen to this show in its entirety. They discuss a great range of topics within the world and do a great job of presenting the information in a way that even a Nord could understand. So, whether you’re being hunted down by the Morag Tong or you’re stuck in a soul gem for all eternity, I highly recommend checking out The Elder Scrolls Lorecast.

    There’s no better way to learn about Elder Scrolls Lore
    This was the first result that popped up when I searched for Elder Scrolls lore podcasts. Haven’t quite caught up to the most recent episodes, so hello future Tom and Lotus! But I’ve been hooked nonetheless. Keep up up the amazing work, Hermaeus Mora would be proud 👁️
  • rab7301
    I understand, but
    I love most of these series, but I started with these for lore, and if it’s all discussions and the lore is hidden on patreon then i’m out.
  • Wayward jedi
    Keep up the amazing work
    I love this podcast keep up the good work Tom and Lotus!!
  • Rtg640
    Great podcast
    This is a great podcast. Gets me threw these hot Florida work days. I randomly stumbled across this podcast about a month ago and binged all the episodes. Keep up the great work guys
  • Finkle N. Einhorn
    Makes no sense
    Love all the other lorecast shows, getting rid of the early episodes and putting them behind the patreon is a weird move.
  • Ben of Temeria
    Awesome show with awesome hosts
    Hey Tom and Lotus! Realized I never gave this show a review lol. This show is amazing for anyone who loves the Elder Scrolls series! Tom and Lotus breakdown the lore of the series very well for anyone who hasn’t looked to deeply in the world. Keep up with the awesome content and stay safe in Tamriel!
  • ALooseDeadMoose
    Thank you Thank you!
    I’ve really been enjoying listening to the podcast. It’s definitely time to review! A few month ago I broke my hand and had to work overnight at my warehouse for almost 2 months to heal. My music playlists were getting dull, shifts felt longer and longer, and I was getting bored. For the first time, as I still really don’t listen to podcasts, I randomly decided to look up a podcast about elder scrolls lore specifically because I had just purchased the anniversary Skyrim upgrade. Man was I pulled in. I really enjoy the casual yet very well put together podcast. All the guests and sense of community. I’ve played a good number of the games and I started reading the two novels by Greg Keyes while I was also listening to the show. It’s helped me enjoy elder scrolls content in a new way and I’m still only halfway through the episodes. Keep up the good work and I hope you get to continue doing what you love!
  • Ultimate Mr Cheez
    Perfect
    Tom (or Robots) have created a wonderful podcast about a great game series.
  • E.V. Reed
    I adore this show
    Great people, great topics, keeps me entertained at work and when gaming at home! :) Best binge material!
  • RawrDino666
    AMAZING
    ESL introduced me to the world of podcasts and is super easy to follow for beginner listeners or background sound. been listening on Patreon for about a year now and Tom and lotus have me looking forward to this podcast every week! The best podcast to keeo you entertained at work, on long car rides, or as background while gaming. They are super kind and involved in their discord and they are always honest about if they have to skip a week’s episodes. 10/10 would reccomend -TerraMonster
  • dixndncisna
    Fantastic fun
    Hey guys, I love listening to your podcast while endlessly roaming my desert pipe yard. I am picking up ESO again, I would love to apply to the PlayStation guild. Where do I apply?

    Jygalaag is free
    It’s been a couple months since I started listening and I have to say deep dives into fantasy and video game lore are what I live for, and you guys do a great job of making it engaging and entertaining. Also I’ve been waiting 266 episodes for this. The Hero of Kvatch broke Jygalaag’s daedric curse, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ES 6 plot teaming up with the other princes to stop a greymarch on all the realms of oblivion and Mundas.
  • addyb17
    Love the knowledge and enthusiasm!
    Love hearing you guys talk about elder scrolls. Comfy vibes. Always a nice break from reality.
  • Delta_Phoenix25
    Best Podcast on the Internet
    I drive over an hour to and from work everyday. In addition, I go on a lot of road trips. Tom and Lotus keep me entertained with their knowledge and comedic timing. They are also both very active in the discord. This show has med to many other great programs on the Robots Radio network. Highly recommended. 10/10.
  • GratefulMatty
    Satisfied adventurer here!
    I just finished listening to every episode of the Fallout Lorecast, and now I’ve been enjoying the ES Lorecast! It’s even prompted me to replay Oblivion! Robots and Lotus do such a great job with the show, from the deep dark bits of the lore, to the weird and wacky, to making me literally laugh out loud at work, this is the perfect podcast for any Elder Scrolls fan! Keep up the great work guys!
  • jdhdsbd
    Amazing podcast
    Listen to this while at work, helps me get through my long nights. This podcast made me want to explore the elder scroll series more than I have before.
  • Pyroboy103
    Just wanna say thanks
    Thank you Tom and lotus, what a wonderful show, I deliver for Amazon and spend roughly 8-10 hours a day driving and delivering and listen to any one of your podcasts every day, all day. Nobody lays out the lore of these games as well as you two do, my favorite being the elder scrolls lorecast. Keep up the great work and I look forward to all the future casts 👍🏻
  • Sam Smith Dean Wessen
    Favorite podcast
    Listen to this everyday at work the only problem is that I’ve almost finished all the episodes lol. Keep up the good work and also shout out to my friend Braden spicer who I got addicted to this show!
  • Minecraft family
    Yay
    Glad you’re okay and safe
  • jonnygunnr101
    Great Content
    Been listening for a few weeks. Have gone back and listened to some older stuff to get caught up. From being late into the whole universe of the Elder Scrolls, I find listening to your podcast very helpful with story and lore as I am not fully aware of everything; BUT am very interested in learning more as Skyrim has hooked me into this series! I hope you guys see this review and understand that you do a great job at exploring the world of The Elder Scrolls and helping those like myself still feel engaged when we are late bloomers! Keep up the great work!
  • Deathclaw Jesus
    Gets me through
    I love this podcast! It’s one of the few I listen to consistently without fail. It keeps me company through the work day with interesting and amazing delves into the lore. Great for listening on the go. I play it everywhere from in the car to 80ft up in an oak tree. Keep it up guys! I look forward to hearing more!
  • boogiemankiller
    YESS
    Amazing show love learning about random lore elder scrolls is my all time favorite listen every where and all the time keep up the great work
  • The blind orc
    One of the best ES podcasts, ever
    It’s just such a good podcast to listen to! whether your at work, curious about the lore, or even just want some inspiration to create a new character. Not only is the podcast itself just great, the community is probably (in my experience) one of the most friendly out there, I’ve had so many times where I ask a simple question and end up getting a full fledged informational conversation and debate that feels like it could be a podcast on its own! Not to mention that the host himself (Tom) is completely active in the community and will often add to these debates. It’s a great ES resource and I would COMPLETELY recommend listening. PS, completely deserves being in the top 1% of podcasts
  • DeadStormPirate
    My go to podcast channel
    I love this podcast. Been into the elder scrolls since Morrowind and the lore has always gripped me and your podcast covers everything that I want to know about the amazing world. Everyone associated with the Robots Radio group make the best podcast that make my days at work go by quickly.
  • Alduin65
    Truly Wonderful
    The fervor and passion these folks talk about the ES universe with is just fantastic. The depth of knowledge that they have is so refreshing for anyone who loves this series but can’t make heads or tails of the impossibly dense source material. I’ve played since the days of Morrowind and these folks still surprise me with something new each episode. As a social studies teacher, I find their incorporation of history, geography, culture, and even economics incredibly satisfying. If you enjoy the ES series, you need to give this channel a listen. Truly wonderful. P.S. If you like D&D, or even DM, this channel is great to listen to for making your own campaign settings or better understanding preexisting ones.
  • IceTeaLemonade
    Amazing!!!
    Been listening to the podcast since the beginning of the year now and I’m absolutely loving it! You guys are great!

  • Marcurio is my Packmule
    Can’t get enough!
    I’m strictly a Spotify listener but I reopened Apple Podcasts just so I could write a review! I listen intensely while I’m at work. I’m an Elder Scrolls fanatic through and through. Both Tom and Lotus help me dive deeper into the lore of Nirn. Which, vicariously, helps me construct the fantasy world I’ve been working on for over a decade. Which, then translates into a D&D campaign. They even got me into playing ESO just to experience the stories that it has to offer. All in all. The the depth and detail that these guys bring into such a well produced show is enough to keep me as a VERY longtime listener. 9/9 Devines! That’s right! I said it!
  • rills4rills
    Would recommend
    Thanks for what you do, your show is fantastic. Keep it up please!
  • War crew 566780
    The only thing that keeps me going.
    This lorecast alone is what gets me through the work day. Both robots and lotus bring intelligent and insightful information to each episode. The patron chats never fail to give me a chuckle and offer many other perspectives on topics from the elder scrolls. ( always waiting for the next “hot take” from Falcon )
  • blowhardbillybob
    My new go to for elder scrolls lore discussion to sleep to me
    Since FudgeMuppet podcast is over, I was looking for something else and this podcast is great it covers things from all the games including eso without being negative towards the game like FudgeMuppet are. Good stuff.
  • Dilpickle004
    This podcast made me get back into The Elder Scrolls
    I stopped playing after a while due to being burned out, but the way Lotus and Tom dive so deep into the lore made me want to get back in just so I could find and read all of the lore books in Skyrim and then learn it all myself. Thank you guys for bringing the love for the Elder Scrolls back to its height for me. I truly can’t thank you guys enough.
  • yhkoigfvdyjk
    Thank you!!!
    If you read this please save it for a patron episode. I love You and Mr. Doom. The depth is amazing. But the best parts are when the rest of the community joins you. I love those most. I’m trying to not be homeless but I hope to be a patreon soon. Good stuff lined up 🤞🤞🤞hopefully. Your podcasts make me feel like I have a home and I love that. Thanks robots, lotus, and all that have contributed. All of you let me know there’s home I can have 🙂🙂
  • The Bordelain Bard
    Achievement Unlocked: Lore Master
    I stumbled across this show when on a podcast binge and was curious what shows might be attached to my favorite games. This podcast hits every urge you have to learn more about the incredible universe of Elder Scrolls. It’s fun, casual, and well-produced, and is hands-down my favorite show. As someone who started with Oblivion, and has since become a modding fiend roleplaying a relic hunter in Skyrim, listening to lore makes my characters feel more real when I stumble across references in the game. It really adds to the replay-ability of these already incredible games. Thank you so much for all the time and effort put into this podcast. Cheese for everyone!
  • Hayden-Levine08
    This is SOOO Great
    I’ve been listening for about a month now. It’s one of the best Elder Scrolls podcasts that I’ve listened to. I don’t yet have Skyrim, I’m gonna get the AE version during Christmas. I’ve been using this and the lore that they talk about to get a better understanding of the world and make awesom Character builds, The one that I’m gonna use is a Imperial Witcher build! Thank you guys soooo much

    Noice
    I listen at work and it definitely helps get through the day, has definitely gotten me back into the grind of playing a franchise that has shaped my life. Tom and Lotus have a amazing way of describing the world of elder scrolls. Would give 10 stars if I was allowed👍
  • XhailthehammerX
    Best TES Podcast out there!
    This is the most well put together and engaging podcast out there, and to top it off it’s full of so much lore and digestible information about TES. This is my go-to, and it’s the only one I can watch over and over without getting tired of it! Keep up the great work and thank you!
  • ecogirl23
    Good podcast for newbies and experts alike
    I’ve recently been on a big time video game and lorecast kick at work, both out of personal interest and because my boyfriend is super into gaming. ESO is one of my favorite games I’ve tried with him, so I decided to give this show a listen, and was overwhelmed (in a good way) by the vastness of the lore and gameplay information. Kudos to both hosts, and keep up the good work!
  • Gagekooky
    Great show
    Every Monday I go into work and check this podcast to see about any new uploads, rarely am I ever disappointed :) Always am enjoying every episode of lore, also love listening to the game shows too. Love the Robots and Lotus combo, you guys bounce off each other great. Anyways, thank you for being there when I start my work week with TES lore and your fallout lore cast. Much love to Robot and Lotus, thanks for doing what you guys do!

    Rediscovering a childhood pastime
    I was 13 when Skyrim came out and spent many nights staying up way later than I was supposed to playing it on my Xbox 360. I found this podcast just randomly looking to see if there was any Elder Scrolls content on apple podcasts. These guys take it to a whole different level when it comes to lore, and have even helped me figure things out that I never learned in my first 10 years of playing the game. This encouraged me to pull the game back out for another playthrough. I pull the ultimate nerd-out and listen to it while I play the game, which makes it even more fun. Awesome podcast, thanks guys.
  • BTBacon
    Who knew the Elder Scrolls went so deep
    Loving this podcast recently started from the beginning, and I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went when to comes to these games. I started with Morrowind on xbox back in the day and have recently given Skyrim a go. These guys are interesting and engaging and topic leaves you wanting to know more and dig deeper. Highly Recommend!
  • ciscoj23
    The silencer loves this podcast
    Great people making great content. It helps listening to this while working on contracts. Keep up the great work. I shall inform the night mother so she can tune in as well.
