Episode Five audio file (MP3, 15.4 MiB, 23 minutes)
Armchair anthropology. Women don’t go for hook horrors. Magic: the Gathering is still popular. Misanthropy. It feels good to shuffle.
Episode Four audio file (MP3, 14.7 MiB, 19 minutes)
We discuss the Borders bankruptcy filing and share thoughts on whether/when we would buy an “electronic book device.” Paul moderates, Jeff guest-stars, and Dan is more of a curmudgeon than usual. Will doesn’t talk much.
Episode Three audio file (MP3, 28 MiB, 30 minutes)
This one was recorded around Halloween 2010, but it sat on the shelf for a while before we got around to editing it. We had a better microphone this time, but having only one means the volume is still a bit uneven.
Featuring Mr. Paul Taylor as our third co-host, this episode includes a discussion of the board game Agricola. We also discuss last March’s trip to the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston (PAX East). Actually, we mostly talk about Dan and Paul’s train ride.
Episode Two audio file (MP3, 11.2 MiB, 23 minutes)
In our episode for 18 October 2010, we discuss George Lucas’s THX-1138, his first feature-length film. We also discuss the closure of Land of Cran, a comic book and game store in Canton, Ohio.
Episode One audio file (MP3, 11.9 MiB)
In our pilot episode, we discuss the board game Power Grid, Dan mocks Will’s Netflix queue, and we discuss what we’re reading (Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom, the comic book series Fables, and the short story collection Future War).
