  • G*d D*mn Hilarious

    Tom and Emily’s banter is so pithy and mirth-filled, the topic they are discussing is almost irrelevant. They could be reviewing in-depth the intricate details of a rural yawning festival from 1885, and I’d probably still be riveted to the discussion.

    I’ve really enjoyed all the various iterations of Shut Up and Sit Down over the years and this is an excellent representation.

  • Not what it used to be

    The SUSD podcast used to the GOAT board game podcast. It’s now inconsistent, sporadically release, poorly recorded, and lacks focus

  • A Pair of Pears to you!

    Is good show.

    Genuinely useful discussion of games to get an idea of what you’re getting into before buying/playing for the first time.

    Even when I disagree (the Stardew Valley Boardgame was more fun then the video game, fight me Quinns)

    Sometimes the discussion is a little less focused, but the gang are fun to listen to regardless.
