Salt and Sass

i love the video game recommendations at the beginning, i download every one that’s on iOS and love most!

I’ve listened since they had their show with Vasel. I can see why he had them on. They play a lot of games, have industry knowledge, and give decent reviews. That being said, they’re huge libs. And given their stances on COVID or, more currently, ICE they’re either super dumb people, which is highly possible, or ignorant (very likely), or finally, full of avarice for anybody or anything that disagrees with them ideologically. How dumb to bring politics into a board game podcast, especially when you have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. To paint an ICE officer as somebody that “murdered” an individual that willingly tried to impede an officer’s arrest or assist in traffic control is maligning a federal agency for doing their job. Honestly, listen until all the facts come out! Don’t weigh into something where you know nothing. A more wise approach would be to call this a tragedy, and then wait a full investigation. I’m done with these clowns. Stick to what you know.

Love this show. Have listened to every episode since the show became independent from Dice Tower (and it’s better now!). They have a regular format with eclectic board game and video game reviews, crowdfunding highlights, and “game pie,” or their fave games that fit a certain theme. Every so often they also throw in an interview, or reporting on their experiences running panels and booths at game cons, where they add their perspectives from inside and outside the gaming industry. I like their style—good rapport between friends, positive vibes, and insightful takes, all while keeping on topic. Sound quality was really great for a while but lately it has been terrible. I hope they clean it up. Besides that, this show has the right mix of professional and personal for my taste—big thumbs up to Mandi and Suzanne.

Glad I stumbled on this the other day and I can still hear Mandi and Suzanne talk about games!
