Awesome Show!

Fantastic show. Extremely entertaining, creative and unique. Great mix of humor and helpful board game reviews and commentary. Definitely not family friendly with adult language and topics but quickly rising to the top of my favorite board game podcasts. Great that Natalie, Jeff and Ryan are local Michiganders too. Thanks for all the work you all put into producing such an amazing show.

Give them a listen

A nice trio of folk that are going places. Funny, genuine, and just plain good at podcasting. I hope they remember us little folk when they make the big time! Godspeed!
