  • Great gaming podcast!!!

    What a great concept. I just started recently checking out different gaming podcasts, and while there are some good ones out there, this is my favorite. You get to hear about the latest kickstarters, then Katie and Jason discuss a couple of random games they played, followed by games pertaining to a different theme each episode. It works really well and each episode flies by. I enjoy it a lot and genuinely look forward to each new one. As a fan of games, it’s very enjoyable and informative. And ... more

  • Great podcast if you like minis

    These guys cover a wide variety of games, and adroitly avoid making you feel bad for liking games they don’t. Their taste in games varies enough that they cover about the entire spectrum of games, even if they don’t love the same ones I do, they give everyone a fair shot.

    They keep it lite, and the show never runs too long, and if you’re lucky, they break out the sound effects.

    If you do listen, reach out to them and inform them they are wrong about miniature games, and so very right about sh... more

  • Hank & John

    Joel and Jason do a great job of discussing the ins and outs of board games over the sounds of royalty free 80s music. They are basically a board game version of Hank and John Green. Genuinely, with good chemistry the hosts do a great job of telling listeners what games are great to play and which games are worth passing up on. Even as a not very active gamer, they have inspired me to spend too much money on games just to admire the artwork.

    Really great honestly!

  • Easy Listening

    This is a great podcast to drive t:; low key, but informative and sometimes witty. The hosts obviously are good friends and it come across. My only complaint is minor (which I think they've heard before...) is they will start talking about a game and only mention its name once. In the car it's difficult to rewind so I sometimes lose track of the current game under discussion. Highly recommended,
