Between Two Cairns is mainly a table-top RPG product review podcast, with RPG advice thrown in. Hosts Yochai Gal (Cairn RPG) and Brad Kerr are published indie RPG authors so they bring that perspective into their product reviews. For the most part they review OSR and indie RPG adventures and supplements.

I draw comparisons with the similar Fear of a Black Dragon which I love and also reviews OSR (and old RPG) products. BTC reviews one product per week so frequently it's a read-through review rather than a played-session review (FBD does once a month and usually one or both hosts have run the adventure). Both sites review interesting products so they don't waste reviews by reviewing trash.

BTC is a lot more nitpicky and it seems their idea of good reviewing means pointing out any flaws in a product (even if it's just poor art, bad editing, and/or bad organization). FBD sometimes points out flaws of a product but tends to concentrate on the good points and the innovations. In general this means that if it's reviewed in FBD it must be good whereas BTC may be not so even when reviewing the same products. BTC does love physical books though and really likes nice printed stuff (for example, books printed on special paper or unusual formats).

I will keep listening to Between Two Cairns inasmuch as they review stuff I'd be interested in playing or running so it's good for discoverability.
