In a little repost/quote-ception, I have been reflecting on this episode after listening to it again after it published (will probably be doing some tangential podcasting threads in the near future). While there are so many things I love about this conversation—and just reliving the fun time with

and the connections between other guests that occur through that are both fascinating and just make me very happy. It’s not the “biggest” space or hobby. There are certainly parts that could be more welcoming too. The guests that have been kind enough to join the show really demonstrate the best

@davidmasnato.com is at the heart of that—it’s really neat that so many people who have previously been on the show were discussed for their awesome contributions to gaming. I’ll just list everyone in no particular order: @marcelineleiman.bsky.social @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @amabel.bsky.social

Join @davidmasnato.com and I as we romp around the playground, discussing what games can do when we can explore different conventions and experiences. There are many lovely moments regarding humanity and positive connections. And there’s nonsense—the best kind 🛝 open.spotify.com/episode/0KYt...

It takes some serious arcane mastery to dive into the weirdness that is Board Game Arena. Fortunately, this adventure was guided by the Soothsayer himself, @jeffgrisenthwaite.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5Vr1... Among other games, Jeff designed Soothsayers and Positano, and then he

@25thcentury.games has been doing a fantastic job of getting games that people want into their hands! Whether the games have been out of print or are in need of some localization, the amount of care in this process is extremely appreciated in the board game space. open.spotify.com/episode/0QkL...

After a little hiatus, I’m ecstatic that the show has returned for episode forty-six with @amabel.bsky.social Despite frequently shouting out her amazing video essays when they’re released, I’m not sure if a few words here and there can capture how much those videos mean to me. They are

Following the huge success that High Tide was at the inaugural Indie Games Night Market, @marcelineleiman.bsky.social graciously joined the show to talk about her designs, studying classic card games, advocacy, and so much more. open.spotify.com/episode/22DE... It was one of those talks that was

nearly two hours but felt like a half hour—just very engaging and flowing (aptly so). As High Tide sold out as quickly as it possibly could have at the event, it was picked up for publication, and I immediately ordered a copy. Both that and Phantasmic, another one of Marceline’s releases from last

Just backed @bitewinggames.bsky.social 's Rolling Deep & Eureka (www.kickstarter.com/projects/bit...), so it's a perfect time to hop into the wayback machine for episode seven with Nick. Since November of 2023 (wild), Bitewing has continued a clear vision with extreme attention to detail and various

curated experiences, such as their two-player mythos line and now these solo campaigns. These two games are near the top of my most anticipated games, if not at the very top. open.spotify.com/episode/2myv... Great conversation here, so check it out if you haven't!

2026 has been. Even making this simple post is something I've delayed numerous times. Anyway, there is a fire of creativity stoking, and I'm finally actually doing some of that again. New episodes will be coming—I just really want them to be good. Until then, I'll share some awesome being released/

If you've listened to an episode of the show, and it's made you happy, sad, goofy feeling, generally perplexed, or any noteworthy emotion that's not too troubling, it'd mean a lot if you considered giving the show a vote on BGG. boardgamegeek.com/goldengeek Any support by way of a 'nom' here,

The past six-ish months have STILL had six amazing guests and episodes. @petewiss.bsky.social @ruelgaviola.com @raybird.bsky.social @alex.cmyk.games @tombrewster.bsky.social @tricktaking.bsky.social And the other ~forty guests in the last few years have been absolutely spectacular as well.

@tombrewster.bsky.social joins the show to take on the (second) hottest new roguelike, “Chip Cat Breach.” With different challenges, meta-construction of the game in real time, and an all around great conversation, this is a wild ride you don’t want to miss. open.spotify.com/episode/6WdP...

There’s some bad board game media rightfully being criticized right about now. This post isn’t meant to detract from that—keep shitting on bad actors. On the flip side, I just finished up @amabel.bsky.social’s most recent video essay: youtu.be/dTepZ7qM24Q?... Passionate, investigative, thoughtful,
