Introduction:
Zany Banter!!
Ashley Review: Jason, Joel... what an absolute pleasure! Hello from across the pond in sunny England! I was new to boardgames approx 10 months ago and was lucky to stumble into the NoBog (Norwich Boardgamers) which has 850 members and meets every Monday and Tuesday with a 20-40 people turn out. I also found your podcast and have since listened to EVERY episode! Now I feel experienced and worthy enough to say “Hi, I fricking love you guys” 🙈😂👍🏼 Highly respect your opinions on most things and glad to have based the start of my collection on most of your recommendations! I’ve just recommended you to the other 849 people in our group so hopefully you might get 1 more listener by the end of the week 😂 Keep up the good work and an honourable mention would make my work day/week/month/year. Couple more things- how do I get into the riveted? And I might be heading over to the mid west at some point in the next 2 years... if there’s a spare seat at the Boardgame Mechanics con I’d love to pop in and kick some a**!!! Bit concerned about finding out what you guys look like in case it doesn’t match the doomsday prepping, redneck, all American, good ole boy image in my head. Play on playaz. Keep gamin’ 😉
