Everything To Guppy

A near-daily podcast about the items and lore in the Binding Of Isaac.

About the show

Club) and Gary Butterfield (Watch Out for Fireballs!) get together four times a week to talk through every single item, trinket, boss, monster, and, really, everything in Edmund McMillen's "The Binding Of Isaac". New, bite-sized episodes come out every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  • Episode 511: Pupula Duplex

    July 23rd, 2020  |  17 mins 5 secs

    Attempting to appear as non-chalant as a man can while the scenery is spitting on him, Stargash adopted his standard "talking to bureaucrats" face—a sort of scowling simper, with topnotes of reverence and pique.

  • Episode 507: Restock

    July 16th, 2020  |  14 mins 5 secs

    July 14th, 2020  |  17 mins 51 secs

    July 12th, 2020  |  19 mins 38 secs

    July 11th, 2020  |  15 mins 56 secs
