Michael and Doug are great! Their exchanges are informative and a lot of fun to listen to. They provide thoughtful insight into games and the gaming experience with great energy and enthusiasm. This is certainly a valuable podcast for educators (I’m a high school teacher who helps run our school’s board game society); I’d also suggest this is a unique podcast in the boardgaming ‘milieu’ (credit Mike Dilisio/Dan Hughes) that all hobby gamers might appreciate.

I had my own podcast about board games a while back, but it's success wasn't meant to be. After calling it quits, I was in search of board gaming podcasts that were close to what I was trying to do.

Every week, Mike and Doug break down skills involved in a board game that they recommend. Educational concepts, skill-building, and difficulties are discussed, along with techniques to make learning easier and more fun.
Although the show can run a little long, the different segments that make up a show are all great.
I’ve probably bought 20 games based on their recommendations! Such great insight into the educational opportunities these games utilize. I’ve gotten my extended family into the podcast and recommend it to coworkers and friends frequently! One thing in particular that I appreciate is they will give recommendations on age that don’t necessarily match up to the box recommendation. So helpful!
I love this podcast. Doug and Michael tackle board games from the viewpoint of how they can be used to develop children’s cognitive and social skills, both in school and at home. Don’t discount the podcast if you’re not an educator though: these guys have a natural, engaging way of describing game mechanics which so far has made me want to buy nearly every game that they’ve featured!
