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 episode than our "peers" will in a year. Speaking of packing it in, in this episode we cover:  Pirate Dads Sweet, Sweet New Merchandise and Logo Gen Con Preview Discussion Educating Evan Hughes on classic games Chest Hair  I'd like to see our "peers" cover that amount of material in their "shows".

Episode 97: Educating Evan

Kirsten Lunde

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 to go with us and enjoy the ride. And what a ride it is! On this episode, Dan and Mike discuss:  The lie that is castor sugar. Why Dan's scones taste tangier than they should. The relationship between game designers and publishers.  Also, we have a very special guest aboard: Kirsten Lunde! Kirsten discusses her upcoming symphony themed board game, Ovation (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/326264/ovation), and talks about her move from the United States to New Zealand. Also, Kirsten retains her cool amidst Dan's stubborn refusal to pronounce her name correctly. All of this, plus A Few Acres of Rubbish! More information for Ovation here: https://ovationboardgame.com/

Episode 95: You've Got Some Nerve - with Ben Maddox

In this episode, Mike and Dan discuss the Coronation of the King of England, (including Dan's taxes being used to fund it), and Free Comic Book Day!   We also discuss importing board games from parts of the world we don't live in, and mass market thriller novels.   You wanted your episdoes more frequent? Well, be careful what you ask for. Pretty soon we'll be like the Board Game Snobs and recording our shopping lists.

Episode 94: Coronations and Comic Books

Luke Prior

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. It's Golden Geek Awards time! While we like to be self-deprecating here at Sporadically Board, the truth is that Dan and I are proud that we've been able to keep this endeavor going for as many years as we have, and we still very much enjoy doing it. If you, our faithful listeners, still enjoy listening we'd be very appreciative if you would go to Board Game Geek and nominate Sporadically Board for Best Board Game Podcast.  To nominate us, click on the following link, then click the Podcast tab at the top of the page. Finally, scroll very far down until you find us in an alphabetical list: https://boardgamegeek.com/geekawards/boardgame   In addition to shameful politicing, we and our guest Luke Prior discuss brown bread, Mike moving back to the United States Midwest, the absolutely filthy hobby of bookbinding, and even gasp games!

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

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. But that would have been an ace idea. Why didn't we think of that? Also, some games.

Episode 92: Relocations and Conventions

Mike Succumb

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) type this, I have very little idea if this will even make it safe and sound to your ears. The fact that Mike is attempting to do this at all is proof positive that we have explored every possible avenue. Here's hoping.   We chat about games (I know, right?). We chat about cars. Well, mostly Mike does. It's riveting stuff.   Mike asks Marcus to mark some things down, adding to his incalculable work load.   We recommend things. Am I typing this in vain? Will this work?

Ep 88: Essen and the new CoraQuest Kickstarter launch with Marcus Brissman

Mike DiLisio and Dan Hughes plus a special guest talk about board games, card games, and anything else that catches their eye.

I love the way Dan and Mike go back and forth and share stories.

Such wonderful conversations

If there was a joke that began, “ Two board game ‘content creators’ decided to start a podcast...” then every episode is the punchline.  I can’t get enough of the banter between Mike and Dan. 

If you want a hint of board games mixed in with real day to day banter, you won’t be sad you listened.

Delightfully random in all the right ways
