    Walter Scott: Magister

    Here's a remotely recorded episode from July 2020 (!), where we're joined in snowmageddon by Walter Scott. He brings a wide variety of games from story telling to quiet contemplation, and along the way we talk about how he grew up in Traverse City, went from Medieval French poetry to ancient Roman exposition to English literature, the impressions a good teacher can make and how games fit into the relationship building we all need right now.

    Michael Carter: Global Economist

    In this remotely recorded episode, Michael Carter comes to Snowmageddon from Iowa, bringing some heavier, longer games with him. "And why not?" he asks, if you're going to be stuck for a while? We talk about the origins of his love of math, games and tech; how travel gives context; advice on who to play these types of games with (at least to start); "Samurai battle(s) on a tightrope"; wild rides while playing games with famous game designers; and much more.

    Abigail Fraass: Wonder Kid

    Abigail Fraass joins us in snowmageddon. Don't let her youthfulness fool you: Abby can keep up with anyone when the most strategic and complex brain-burners come out at game night. And with more joy than some of us old guys. We discuss her moves around the planet and beginnings as a gamer, TV and books she enjoys, game design as school work, and her analysis of the games she chose to bring along.
