Josh has been a good friend for nearly 3 decades. He teaches Writing and Literature in Denver (but he's a NYer). We talk about a variety of topics, but focus on Games (and Gaming) and the human mind (including how we learn, why we like the things we do, mental health, etc).  

Some background: I've given Josh (and others) crap about D&D for many years, and here we really get into an analysis of why some people like it and others don't. Also get into video games, having kids, etc. Life, bro. 

Josh is what I would call a “Bibliophile” or “Literati”, and he uses a lot of big words; I commend him on his patience when talking to a math/science guy like me.  

Lastly: Yeah, this is a really long episode. I thought about splitting it into two, but decided to leave it as one. I do suggest you take it in pieces of a size that work for you.
