About ...As Chess

From the publisher's feed

Have you ever found yourself wondering what fruit is king or which which of the Avengers would make a great pawn? No? Well strap in as you discover the podcast you never knew you needed. As we move through a range of categories we select the elements we believe belong on our 'chess board' by equating their value to the corresponding chess piece. We aim to provide light-hearted but meaningful entertainment that starts conversations in which anyone and everyone can join.
