  • Meeple Nation is really enjoyable to listen to. They have enough different tastes in gaming that the show covers a vast area of board gaming. It's not all about the newest game, there's a lot of podcasts covering the cult of the new. With all the games out there sometimes nice to hear about older games, they might even be on your own shelf of shame. You listen to them and you just want to play a game.
