  • It’s just plain good!

    I’ve jumped around between a few board game podcasts and I can confidently say this one is my favourite. I like the honest and relaxed chat the gang has with each other, and it’s clear they all get along really well. I used to feel a bit odd being so into board games, but listening to everyone on here really helps to realise there’s heaps of people just like me, and not too far away for a change. Like others have said, GREAT banter too!

    Keep up the great work, BGBBQ!

  • What a brilliant podcast, sharing the joys of board gaming with a delicious Aussie sizzle.

    Do yourself a favour and enjoy listening to this great group of friendly gaming enthusiasts as they rotate the hosting each episode.

    Laugh along with the gang as they double down on their failed oaths and express their thoughts and excitement about a wide variety of games.

    The pods with special guests are some of the very best.

    Thank you BBQ crew, keep up the great entertainment.

  • So much fun

    I have been listening to this podcast for a while now and have found myself really looking forward to Mondays. It is a big cast of characters that rotate weekly to put out the episodes and it has taken me a while to become familiar with each of them. My new favorite is Dana as I find myself cracking up each time she is on. All of the hosts are informative, knowledgeable, well spoken, truly exude a love for board games, and just seem like good people. There is something really cool about living i... more
