  • Fun and Helpful

    As someone who listens to more podcast and audiobooks than music, I thoroughly enjoy this one. It’s fun, it’s helpful, and best of all, these two gents goof off just enough to keep me entertained while not wasting my time. As a bonus, both seem like genuine nice dudes, so I don’t feel like some pretend marketing guru is trying to upsell me something.

    Keep it up.

  • There's No Going Back...

    Informative, insightful, and may cause one to want to quit their day job and design/publish games all day. An excellent resource for learning the art of game design, the gritty side of running a business, and the resources available inside and outside of the Game Crafter. If you've ever had an itch to design a game, or ever found yourself browsing the board game section of a store, and thought to yourself that you could design a game, then this is the podcast to help take that dream and make it ... more

  • In-Depth and Engaging Insight into Board Game Design

    This podcast is informative, humorous and annoyingly addictive. JT Smith and Jeff King do a great job of explaining the ins and outs of board game design, publication and of course the print-on-demand wonder that is the game crafter. Every show always teaches me something new and gives me loads of new ideas, some of which are actually good ones! The shows are the perfect length for a bus ride and are always injected with enough humour to make even the dryest of topics engaging. Keep up the great... more

  • A MUST Listen for ANY Aspiring Game Designer

    Let's face it: 'crafting' tabletop games is NOT easy.

    Fortunately, Jeff and JT are here with this Podcast to guide you toward getting your game out to the masses.

    I wasn't sure quite what to expect when I started listening - after all, it's a Podcast for a print-on-demand company. This Podcast very easily could have been chock full of promotion or hype or criticism of the long-run print houses.

    This Podcast is NONE of those things!

    Jeff and JT are INCREDIBLY straightforward and open and h... more
