    Episode 116: Fake Octopuses with Carl Robinson

    Look, before anyone starts - I looked it up and the plural of octopus is octopuses - so don't come here with your knock-off latin and claim it's "octopi". Now that's out of the way, On this episode of Sporadically Board we are joined by Kelp-Boy himself, Carl Robinson (or Karl Robinson, as I like to call him).  He's talking to us about his experiences with the scammers and ne'er-do-wells who have been selling fake copies of his extremely successful game, Kelp. We also talk about other stuff - some of which is board game related and some of which isn't. One thing we do talk about (but not too much) is the kickstarter fro the game Mike and I designed: I Made You a Mixtape. There's only a few days left on the kickstarter campaign, so if you were thinking of backing it - then there's no better time to do so than now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabbagedan/i-made-you-a-mixtape Thanks for listening!

    Episode 115: Traveling with Matthew Jude

    Sometimes life gets so busy that you let time get away from you, and realize that it's been far too long since you've had a proper chat with a friend. Such has been the case with our guest who's been part the show since the very beginning, the lovely Matthew Jude. Quick hugs and hurried greetings at conventions aside, it's been a while since we've been able to spend a dedicated amount of time chatting with Matthew. Well, THAT ENDS NOW! On this very special episode of Blossom, Matthew chats with us about his love of travel on his own terms. In addition to his stellar work in board gaming, he also has a travel focused YouTube channel, Yesland, which you can visit here: https://youtube.com/@yeslandtravel?si=8Kina8ybhhlI6eKv In addition to our discussion of world travels, we discuss: Stand up desks Desk trampolines Bad backs UK and US music number ones Also, our game I Made You a Mixtape is NOW LIVE on Kickstarter! Please visit our Kickstarter page and check it out. Maybe even back it. Maybe even back multiple copies. Joking aside, we'd really love it if you could spread the word about it. This is the most powerful marketing we can afford with our budget of zero dollars, and it's so incredibly powerful. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabbagedan/i-made-you-a-mixtape

    Episode 114: Mike Just Realized That He Never Named The Last One

    Hello everyone! While uploading this, I realized that I never named the last one. I'm taking suggestions on what the official title of Episode 113 should be. Leave those suggestions in the comments below. Also, here's another one! It discusses the Dice Tower Retreat. I remember very little about this recording since I've been to Las Vegas and Europe for over two weeks, and I just got home. It was recorded before I left. I'm pretty tired, and at this point I don't trust myself not to type something incoherent.  I remember this much: We talked about the Dice Tower Retreat. Dan and Evan were there. Jerry was there. Gaby wasn't. We played games. I'm tired.

    Episode 113:

    WARNING: Mike is not on this episode. Dan is left to host for himself. The results are predictable. Thankfully we have TWO guests to compensate!   Super-designer Frank West is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in the Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming game, Emberleaf! also, Super-human Luke Prior is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in spotted dick. Also, he works for Gamefound.   As I wasn't in this episode, I have no idea what they talked about. Dan also left me no notes. I'm listening as I write this. So far, they've talked about: German potatoes Watching Monty Python films for free on slot machines The Gang Luke's degenerate gambling habit Ok, that's all I have time for. I need to get this out to your yearning earholes. I do know that the jist of the conversation revolves around crowdfunding. Speaking of, you really should check out Frank's cracking new game Emberleaf! (I played it at AireCon NW, and really enjoyed it): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tcokgame/emberleaf Also, if you'd be so kind as to check out the upcoming Kickstarter project, I Made You a Mixtape, designed by myself and Dan we'd greatly appreciate it.

    Episode 111: LIVE From AireCon!

    Welcome to a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE of Sporadically Board. AireCon NW has just ended, and while Dan drove home with nary a care, Mike braved the horrors of British Airways and the Manchester Airport to eventually get home to the US. His luggage arrived days later. While at AireCon, Dan put together a cracking quiz show where Mike, Zee and Camilla (from The Dice Tower) represented the United States against the entire UK represented by Dan's ridiculous questions and the audience.  This battle of cultural knowledge was as hard fought and underhanded as you can imagine.  WHO answered the diabolical questions the best? WHAT was Mike doing with a slide whistle? WHERE were the Yorkshire puddings? WHEN will we be allowed to re-enter the UK? All of these questions answered and more on this SPECIAL LIVE EPISODE of Sporadically Board!
