Great show! I love the way he talks about non-gaming life, too! Seems like a great guy!
This podcast does what a lot of other board game podcasts don't do. It's refreshing to hear reviews not dependent on a number rating system. It's just his view on the game or product and what he thought. He also gets great interviews with some big name people in the industry, but also small name people and people just starting out. Definitely give it a listen. He's entertaining, fun, and informative.
I'm working backwards from the current episodes but am enjoying it! Especially I like hearing the thought processes of the designers.
So maybe I'm biased because I'm friends with Jack. However this is a really good podcast, it's got: great interviews, great reviews, and it's a lot of fun. I listen to a lot of podcasts, this is one of my favorites.
Goes in depth not just with reviews, but does a great job digging into the industry itself - game creators, artists and theorists. Well worth a listen if board games are your passion. And if not, they may be after a few episodes.
