89: Some People Juggle Geese

Weekly news and discussion on the world of games.

Nice podcast that covers my typical commute. Intelligent conversation about the wild world of games and  gamer-culture. Not just videogames but also TTRPGS and other styles of gaming are covered. Great balance of thoughful commentary and snark.

For gamers by gamers

Stellar production from a group of super-friendly casual gamers.  And I&#39;m not just saying that because they let me be on the air occasionally.

Great Show!
