Recorded LIVE at the Liquid Lounge Underground in beautiful Boise, Idaho, we bring you The End of the World: Zombie Apocalypse from Fantasy Flight Games. Simon, Dylan and Matt play themselves(!) while Sophie runs the boys through a fictional zombie outbreak happening in the City of Trees right as they were about to record a live PAFO episode. Is Sophie using this game to find out how much we actually like her? Do we miss the P.F. Chang's horses downtown? You'll have to listen to us Play Around and Find Out!

Thanks as always to the amazing Liquid Lounge for hosting us and to you for listening. An additional thanks for following us on all the good social medias @playaroundpod and leaving an Apple Podcasts rate/review.

Deep in the Frank Church Wilderness, the "Culinary Cryptology” podcast crew gets carjacked by the very cryptid they’ve been searching for. Live from the Liquid Laughs Underground, special guests Austin Von Johnson and Kat Lizarraga join Simon and Dylan in a rip-roaring game of Oh Dang! Bigfoot Stole My Car With My Friend’s Birthday Present Inside.

We'll get back to the Canal Street Crooks next episode, in the meantime please share, rate and review far and wide! @playaroundpod on all the good social medias

Here for your listening pleasure is our Podfort 2026 live show as part of the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho! Sophie takes the DM reins as she guides Simon, Dylan, and special guest Jess Ellis (IG: @jessziter) through a summer camp from Hell playing Dread, a fabulous Jenga tower-based horror TTRPG as tense and wobbly as the wood block tower with which its played. 

Our thanks to the festival for having us and to you for listening, and double thanks for following us @playaroundpod on all the good social medias and leaving an Apple Podcasts rate/review. We'll be back next to our current season of Blades in the Dark next ep!

Having pulled off a two-for-one score, the Crooks set out to enjoy some hard-won downtime; but a loose end gets, well, loose.
