Tiffany Leigh - Podcasts, Quizzes and a Secret 3rd Thing
It takes all of two seconds for my guest Tiffany Leigh to drop bombshells about podcasts before we chat about running quizzes and entertainment, discuss board game reviews and writing from an emotional point of view. Before rounding things off chatting about a couple of games we have been playing. And there's so much more we could have talked about. Please enjoy.

Top tier interviews

Fantastic Pod for board gamers
These guys are incredibly entertaining while providing real conversation and insight into the ever-changing world of board games. Each episode tends to have a different flavor to it if they are having a guest on or just talking about certain games. That being said, there are no dull episodes. If you are interested in board gaming and learning about new games with a scottish twist then dive right in to this phenomenal podcast.
Perfectly lovely
Richard has a wonderful way of connecting with his guests and an easy style with a truly calming voice. As an interview format it is rare in the boardgaming podcast arena. He and his guests are also quite progressive in their social and political views and they are not afraid of it. I feel welcome.
If he had a patreon, I’d pay him monies.
