There are a lot of podcasts called unpopular opinion, and ours must have been one of the first. The name has changed to "Hey Unpopular" in the years since, but the point remains the same.

  • Used to be Great

    This show used to be great. Topical, informative, and funny. Now it’s just somewhat informative. Nothing you couldn’t get elsewhere better.

You Don't Even Like Documentaries - The Hobby: Tales From the Tabletop
Q: What got you into the hobby? Was there a particular game that was a tipping point for you?

The Road To Venezuela Pt. 2 - Crisis In Venezuela (WITW March 2017)

The Road To Venezuela Pt. 2 - Crisis In Venezuela (WITW March 2017)
Q: How do you feel currently about the situation in Venezuela?
It is dangerous for me to go back there, and the income inequality is significant, making certain families targets for kidnappers, including mine.
The Monday Show - No Fatties In the Military
