This was a struggle because Luke was very tired after getting back from UKGE, so naturally we chat about cannibalistic chocolate bars, Role playing Games, being Bob Mortimer, and mention in passing Mark Cooke, and UK Games Expo which was something that happened.

TeeCeeGees - May The Force Of Disney Compel You
AKA The Boy who made me livid..
Not everyone is here to let you down. Unless that person is Luke Prior, who aims to let you down from the moment you start recording. Join us as we plumb the depths of light entertainment and confuse the majority of our audience with a mixture of 80s BBC comedy shows and brand new card games. We're so cutting edge that we're talking Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited MONTHS after it came out, but we also chat about the following nonsense.

Customer Reviews
Wizards aren’t allowed to tell you they are wizards...
As I stated in the title, Wizards are not allowed to tell you they are wizards. Richard is not a wizard, he has many flaws... One of which is his dislike of Pogs. For this reason, I can only give this podcast a 5 out of 10. It would be capable of a 10 out of 10 should his position on Pogs change in the future.
Find out more about the Pog episodes from my interviews with the “non” wizard. - Emma May :)
A personal chat with a wizard of podcasting
If you want to find out more about the person behind the game designer, publisher or other tabletop game celebrity, then listen to Richard’s We’re Not Wizards podcast. Always a bit tongue in cheek and always informative and generally just so very enjoyable to listen to. Hat off to this conjurer of the tabletop podcasting realm.
Maybe Sorcerers?
Genuine, conversational podcast all about board games and the people that make and write about them. Sometimes stays on topic, but prone to the odd wild tangent.
