    S6.4 - New to Go? #2: How Go Actually Works | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

    New to Go? This is the second of five short episodes designed to help you understand what makes Go special, how the game works, how to get started, and how to keep going. In this episode, I walk through the basic mechanics of Go: the board and stones, liberties and capturing, connected groups, the overall goal of the game, and how a game ends and is scored. I also touch on things like who plays first, komi, and handicap stones, giving you enough of a foundation to understand what you're looking at when you sit down to play. This is #2 in the five-part New to Go? series. If you're starting from scratch, you're in the right place.

    S6.1 - Unscripted: Summer Catch-Up, Go Congress, Listener Feedback & What’s Ahead | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

    Season 6 begins with an unscripted catch-up after the summer break. Travis reflects on the summer and the U.S. Go Congress, shares the results of a listener poll about whether the unscripted episodes should continue, and talks about how the All Things Go Discord has become a useful home for conversations and smaller ideas that do not always fit into a full episode. He also looks ahead at some of the projects taking shape for the new season, including beginner-focused content, upcoming interviews, and conversations reaching farther into the international Go community, including a recent chat with a dan-level Go player in Africa. It is a look at where the podcast has been, what has been happening behind the scenes, and what is coming next for All Things Go.

    Bonus - The Lost Pilot: How All Things Go Began | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

    I recently found this recording from before All Things Go officially launched. It was essentially a proof of concept: me thinking out loud about what the show might become and experimenting with some early segments. It’s rough around the edges, but I thought it would be fun to share this little time capsule from the beginning of the podcast.

    S5.17 - Unscripted: How the "Hane Board" Could be a Game Changer; a Conversation with Creator João Figueira | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

    This episode is from All Things Go, a podcast about the board game Go, also known as Baduk in Korea and Weiqi in China. Travis speaks with João Figueira, creator of the Hane Board, a portable Go board whose intersections rotate between empty, black, and white positions. João explains that he developed the board after struggling to transport a conventional Go set when meeting a friend to play in coffee shops and other public places. The conversation explores João’s extensive prototyping process, including 3D printing, cast-resin stones, the board’s clicking mechanism, grid-line challenges, durability, accessibility for blind and low-vision players, and possible repairable or modular designs. João also shares the enthusiastic response the board received at the Lisbon Go Open and through the r/baduk community.

    S5.16 - Unscripted: The ATG Discord Server is Now Live, Can Sandbagging be Ethical, Reaching your Natural Go Limit & A Go Documentary You've Probably Never Heard of | Go / Baduk / Weiqi

    This episode is from All Things Go, a podcast about the board game Go, also known as Baduk in Korea and Weiqi in China. In this unscripted episode, Travis announces the launch of the All Things Go Discord server and explains his hope that it will foster deeper conversations among listeners without overwhelming the larger online Go forums. He also reflects on what makes a strong Go-learning website, shares his experience commentating at the San Diego Go Championship, and reviews the Japanese film Bushido and the documentary Go Through the Dark. The episode then turns to broader questions about whether Go is truly difficult, whether players have natural limits on how far they can improve, and what makes an effective Go teacher. Travis closes by considering the idea of ethical sandbagging, in which a much stronger player secretly plays weaker opponents for educational content but resigns before taking their rating points.
