Sometimes life gets so busy that you let time get away from you, and realize that it's been far too long since you've had a proper chat with a friend. Such has been the case with our guest who's been part the show since the very beginning, the lovely Matthew Jude.
Quick hugs and hurried greetings at conventions aside, it's been a while since we've been able to spend a dedicated amount of time chatting with Matthew. Well, THAT ENDS NOW!
On this very special episode of Blossom, Matthew chats with us about his love of travel on his own terms. In addition to his stellar work in board gaming, he also has a travel focused YouTube channel, Yesland, which you can visit here:

In addition to our discussion of world travels, we discuss:
Also, our game I Made You a Mixtape is NOW LIVE on Kickstarter! Please visit our Kickstarter page and check it out. Maybe even back it. Maybe even back multiple copies. Joking aside, we'd really love it if you could spread the word about it. This is the most powerful marketing we can afford with our budget of zero dollars, and it's so incredibly powerful.

Hello everyone!
While uploading this, I realized that I never named the last one. I'm taking suggestions on what the official title of Episode 113 should be. Leave those suggestions in the comments below.
Also, here's another one! It discusses the Dice Tower Retreat. I remember very little about this recording since I've been to Las Vegas and Europe for over two weeks, and I just got home. It was recorded before I left. I'm pretty tired, and at this point I don't trust myself not to type something incoherent.
I remember this much:
We talked about the Dice Tower Retreat.
Dan and Evan were there.
Jerry was there.
Gaby wasn't.
We played games.
I'm tired.
WARNING: Mike is not on this episode. Dan is left to host for himself. The results are predictable. Thankfully we have TWO guests to compensate!
Super-designer Frank West is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in the Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming game, Emberleaf!
also,
Super-human Luke Prior is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in spotted dick. Also, he works for Gamefound.
As I wasn't in this episode, I have no idea what they talked about. Dan also left me no notes. I'm listening as I write this. So far, they've talked about:
Ok, that's all I have time for. I need to get this out to your yearning earholes.
I do know that the jist of the conversation revolves around crowdfunding. Speaking of, you really should check out Frank's cracking new game Emberleaf! (I played it at AireCon NW, and really enjoyed it):

Also, we have the newest of our "Educating Evan" segments, where Dan's son Evan joins us to discuss his experiences at the convention.
All of this, plus shilling.

Welcome to a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE of Sporadically Board.
AireCon NW has just ended, and while Dan drove home with nary a care, Mike braved the horrors of British Airways and the Manchester Airport to eventually get home to the US. His luggage arrived days later.
While at AireCon, Dan put together a cracking quiz show where Mike, Zee and Camilla (from The Dice Tower) represented the United States against the entire UK represented by Dan's ridiculous questions and the audience.
This battle of cultural knowledge was as hard fought and underhanded as you can imagine.
All of these questions answered and more on this SPECIAL LIVE EPISODE of Sporadically Board!
Can you believe it? We said we were going to do something, and we've actually stuck to it for a few episodes. You're going to need to rent a storage shed to contain all of the entertainment you're getting from us.
In this episode we discuss:
There was a lot of other stuff too, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Also we recorded it yesterday, and I've forgotten most of it.
PANDERING PLAZA:

Hold onto your hats as we're releasing podcasts thick and fast at the moment (well, this is the second this month anyway). And in this episode we finally able to announce the date of our Kickstarter for "I Made You a Mixtape" - the game that Mike and I have been working on for the past two years. Hurrah! If you would like to follow the project on Kickstater (and we would really really appreciate it if you did) then you can do so by following this link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabbagedan/i-made-you-a-mixtape
You can also see some of the fantastic art that Gary has done by taking a look at our website here:
https://massiveasterisk.com/ And you can join the fun and keep up with all the updates on the game on our I Made You a Mixtape Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/imadeyouamixtape That's a lot of links - but everyone is a doozy.
NEW FORMAT ALERT: In an attempt to always be on the cutting edge of podcast technology, Dan and I are trying a new format for the podcast. Don't worry, the same rambling, nonsensical claptrap you know and loathe remains, but it's just more condensed!
NOW you can experience Mike and Dan in shorter bursts, more often. [pause for innuendo]
We begin this new adventure here, at episode 108. To be honest, there's so much entertainment packed into these 50 minutes that it would have been irresponsible for us to have gone on any longer.
We care about you, the listener, too much to give you more than these 50 minutes of jam packed, razor honed genius. And as a bonus, we'll be back with episode 109 sooner than you'd expect!
As you know, Dan and I like to keep things light and frothy in most circumstances (it's also the way Dan prefers his Venti, Quad, Half-Caff, Non-Fat, No Foam, Extra Hot, Peppermint, White Chocolate Mocha with Light Whip, 2 Pumps of Sugar-Free Vanilla, 1 Pump of Classic, a Dash of Cinnamon, a Splash of Soy Milk, Double Blended, with Chocolate Drizzle on Top and a Light Dusting of Matcha Powder order at Starbucks).
But on rare occasions, we need to get down to BUSINESS. You may not realize this, but Dan and I are very serious BUSINESS people. And in this topsy-turvy world, what can you depend on if not for BUSINESS?
In this episode we discuss:
We used to have guests on this podcast quite regularly. Then we didn't. Such are the vagaries of life. But sometimes. Sometimes you run across someone who's artistic vision is so pure and unsullied that you simply must invite them onto your podcast so that you can shove them back towards the mainstream, and crush any artistic joy they once had.
Our guest this episode is the wonderful Taylor Reiner, who is the creator of the "Taylor's Trick Taking Table" You Tube channel that focuses on trick taking games from around the world. Taylor is also a rising star in game design and development, with two games currently published, Short Zoot Suit and Of What's Left. Also soon to release is Seer's Catalog from Bezier Games.
On this episode we discuss:
As a bonus, Taylor and I include a top 3 for Dan's benefit. It's called, "Top 3 Games for People who are Fightened and Confused by Trick Taking Games".
