Customer Reviews
Hope this returns consistently
Really like the new format. I hope it continues on a regular basis.
Great podcast
Both of you, Anthony and Frances, have developed a great podcast with wonderful chemistry. Your video play throughs are fun, enjoyable and inviting! You both offer a gateway for couples/families to join you in the hobby or board gaming. Your warm style make you both terrific ambassadors. Thanks for all of your hard work on your YouTube channel and I would love to hear more podcasts.
One option which should not involve too much extra effort would be to publish your YouTube recordings as audio recordings on the podcast. I think it hits a different audience and with some slightly more verbal description of your games as you already do, it could be enjoyable. Just post a picture of the board setup on the podcast or put in a link. Doe iTunes offer analytics for numbers of downloads and comments?
Great Couple
It is very enjoyable to listen to this couple talk about the board game hobby.
