  • Knowledgeable and Dumb

    I’ve listened since they had their show with Vasel. I can see why he had them on. They play a lot of games, have industry knowledge, and give decent reviews.

How dumb to bring politics into a board game podcast, especially whe... more

Every so often they also throw in an interview, or reporting on their experiences running panels and booths at game cons, where they add their perspectives from inside and outside the gaming industry. I like their s... more
