Tuesday, September 8, 2026 β’ Duration 01:32:34
I'm honestly so there for a 12 Angry Men remake where it's all birds and pigs from the Angry Birds world. It doesn't even have to be serious. Like, it could be for kids. Just follow the same general beats but make it family friendly, cuter, and lots of laughs.

#104 Game Elements We Trust With Our Lives
Tuesday, August 4, 2026 β’ Duration 49:47
It's like a periodic table. Instead of the building blocks for all matter, you've got the building blocks for bad decisions (and sometimes good ones too!) I know this is the 500th deckbuilder you've tried this week, but maybe this will give you the high that Dominion once did way back in the day.

#102 ft. Chris Whitpan of PAX & Ryan Hartman of Penny Arcade, Convention-al Wisdom
Thursday, July 23, 2026 β’ Duration 01:06:56
We figured this show was getting too easy to make. Why not do two shows at the same time? Chris Whitpan head of tabletop for PAX/ReedPop, and Ryan Hartman VP of Penny Arcade are here to share invaluable wisdom about conventions and how they work.
Back to back, you say? Nah. Still too easy. Let's splice them in and out of each other. This is either a contender for the next Poddies (made up) or a trainwreck. Maybe it's both. You be the judge.
