Episode 106: Fauxgels, Goulash and the (Taylor) Reinerssance

We used to have guests on this podcast quite regularly. Then we didn't. Such are the vagaries of life. But sometimes. Sometimes you run across someone who's artistic vision is so pure and unsullied that you simply must invite them onto your pod

Mar 25th, 2024 1h 43m

Dan and I are known for our encyclopedic knowledge of most things in life. Board games? Sure. Puddings? Absolutely. Mechanical Engineering? Obviously. What many people don't realize is that we are also experts in AI technology and the societal

Dec 6th, 2023 1h 52m

This episode was DEMANDED by the entire Board Game Snobs Community, and let me tell you, that guy was super annoying. Gaby and Jerry join us to talk about... ...honestly I have no idea. We played a couple of game shows, one by Dan and one by Je

Episode 99: Magically Delicious

Sep 18th, 2023 1h 30m

Episode 99. You know how sometimes when there's some kind of big numerical milestone looming on a podcast, the episode just before it is a lackluster placeholder type of episode? Well, we were going to do that but Gaby was unavailable, so inste

Episode 98: Flipping Lorcana For Cold Hard Bathroom Tiles

Aug 12th, 2023 1h 50m

Well, what do you know? Another freshly baked episode comes piping hot out of the SpoBo oven, and it's ready for your hungry ears. I'd blow on it first if I were you, but I'll also understand if you're willing to char your canals if you just ca

Episode 97: Educating Evan

Jul 17th, 2023 1h 26m

Episode 97! Three away from a major milestone. Although as we've said in the past, that number is slightly suspect in the sense that every one of our episodes is at least 4 times the length of our "peers". Also, we pack more into a single episo

Episode 96: Take a Bow with guest Kirsten Lunde

Jun 12th, 2023 1h 44m

Dan and Mike are recording with alarming frequency these days. Frankly, it seems suspicious if you ask me. However, as I'm one of the people participating and since I have no ulterior motive that I'm comfortable divulging, you'll all just have

Episode 93: Yet Again, Your Consideration is Requested - with Luke Prior

Apr 14th, 2023 1h 43m

Well, it's that time again. The time when all board game podcasts are pitted against each other in a no holds barred competition of bloodsport. Remember Bloodsport? With Claude Van Damme? They called him "The Muscles From Brussels". I digress.

Episode 92: Relocations and Conventions

Mar 20th, 2023 1h 23m

Mike talks about his upcoming move back to the Midwest. Dan talks about stealthily eating crisps while recording a professional podcast. Aire Con and Dice Tower West battle it out in a "Battle of the Board Game Conventions". Actually they don't

Episode 91.5 : Dan and Mike Succumb To The Whims of Technology

Feb 13th, 2023 1h 23m

Well this episode has been quite a journey. First, we had to scrap the first 30 minutes and se-start (no big loss there, we hadn't even made a single salient point). Next, we had multiple issues uploading the episode to the server. As I (Mike)
