  • Kind of a board game podcast? Maybe?

    It’s not a podcast about board games, per se. It’s more a podcast where the conversations are the stuff you would talk about while playing board games.

    They seem to be really hung up on this listener named Ryan, and specifically his Adonis-like calves.

    But seriously, it’s a solid show with uniquely engaging personalities and they talk just enough about board games to justify the title.

    You should definitely check out a couple of episodes
