Sound the trumpets! Ring the bells! Trim the hedges! Yes, it's time for another incomparable, inconceivable, incompetent epidode of Sporadically Board.   LISTEN - as Dan quizzes Mike about hip new phrases buzzing around the zeitgeist. YEARN - as Dan discusses the pleasures of cheese on Christmas Cake. QUIVER - as Mike elucidates on why he wants to be a guava. GENUFLECT - to the mailbag altar, spilling its contents all over the Internet. WEEP - at the omission of A Few Acres of Rubbish.

Episode 105.5: Return of the Mailbag (Redux)

Dan and I are known for our encyclopedic knowledge of most things in life. Board games? Sure. Puddings? Absolutely. Mechanical Engineering? Obviously. What many people don't realize is that we are also experts in AI technology and the societal and moral implications therein. Well, after this episode, there will be no question. Honorary Doctorates will assuredly be forthcoming. In addition to that, in this episode we also cover:  "Horse or Human": Dan's new game show, soon airing on Netflix, with host Carrot Top. Minecraft: The new hotness. Mr. Beast: King of Tik-Tok Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: A very real boxing match. The Luddite Movement: Rage Against the Machine. AireCon and Dice Tower West  Whew. That's most podcast's content for an entire year. Our generosity knows no limits.

Episode 104: The Mike Dilisio AireCon, also with The Dice Tower

Can it be so soon? It seems like only 2 months ago that a Sporadically Board episode came crashing through the Internet to wash over your earholes in a soothing wave. Well, it's true. We're back, and we come to you with a MAJOR EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!  You, our beloved listeners, are being given a worldwide exclusive announcement before it gets revealed to the teeming masses of the ignorant. You, just by virtue of having impeccable taste in podcasts, will be able to tease, infuriate, and frustrate your friends and loved ones by withholding this major announcement and holding it over their heads like an informational Sword of Damocles. If that wasn't enough, we also discuss such hot button topics as:  The Suffragette Movement David Bowie The flu and bronchitis The Dice Tower Cruise Rat infested cottage vacations Sean, Ronan and Mike vs. Dan, Matthew and Richard in a steel cage death match  ...and so much more!  All of this, plus A Few Acres of Rubbish. Here is the incredibly long link to the Cora Quest: Keep on Questing! contest discussed in the episode:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3oepo754SX-k751DmlhuMMZGFQgUx7RMVPkTneupsVggCfQ/viewform?fbclid=IwAR1pSxDv5oIPpyp5EJpLLneqCe41oNhGXdQ32nEHH5LjRQPHJeNqprKIfA4

Episode 103: Cross Coastal Con Chat: Including a MAJOR EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!

This episode was DEMANDED by the entire Board Game Snobs Community, and let me tell you, that guy was super annoying. Gaby and Jerry join us to talk about... ...honestly I have no idea. We played a couple of game shows, one by Dan and one by Jerry.  We talked about Jerry living in an area known primarily for death. We proposed ridiculous insurance claim scenarios for Gaby. Dan talked about windshield screens, whatever those are. I'm sure I talked about stuff. Also, Jerry got progressively more affected by all the Kentucky Derbys. All this, plus we almost talked about board games. Co-Starring: A Few Acres of Rubbish. With Special Guest Star: Ricardo Montalban

Episode 102: Kentucky Derby Special - with The Board Game Snobs

After the multimedia extravaganza that was Episode 100, we keep the fireworks going by inviting first time guest and first time designer Carl Robinson. Carl has designed Kelp, a two-player asymmetrical game that offers players a unique opportunity to delve into the natural world of Pyjama Sharks and Common Octopuses, set in a South African kelp forest. Those were absolutely my words alone, and not a cut and paste from Board Game Geek. In addition to discussing the story behind that game, Dan, Carl and Mike have a wide ranging conversation that includes, but isn't limited to:  Dan's impressions of this year's Essen Spiel which he absolutely did not attend. Mike and Carl's impressions of this year's Essen Spiel which they absolutely did attend. Kendal Mint Cake. Urinal Cakes, plus bonus toilet discussion. Extra bonus toilet serenades. Teaching children how to play Poirot. How people in the North of England count sheep.  All of this, plus Dan's Soundtrack game, A Few Acres of Rubbish, and a disgusting amount of board game discussion.
