    There's a special spark to Plaid Hat Games, and from where I'm sitting, that comes down to family, creativity, and ambition.

  • Episode 95 - Podcasting 101 with Andrew Birkett and Professor Eddy
    This episode is a little bit different, we'll call it "podeutainment", where I teach a guest (and you) all about the mysteries of Podcasting; or at least as good as I know at this point. Andrew Birkett of Atheris Games has been a long time supporter of The Cardboard Herald. Recently, though, he's been making a big impression in board game media through his own coverage, which can be seen in outlets including Casual Game Insider. Well Andrew is embarking on his own podcasting adventure "Games To Glory" with Cody Thompson of Gold Nugget Games, but first he needs to learn how to podcast! Also lookout for upcoming episodes with Andrew and Cody guest hosting TCbH!

  • Episode 93 - Marc Davis; The Thoughtful Gamer
    Can you hear in my voice how excited I am to talk to another board game reviewer? For an hour, we geek out about games, creativity, criticism, and Archipelago. It is absolutely apparent in reading even one of Marc's articles that he lives up to his moniker. If you are listening / reading / viewing my junk and not checking out his, you are doing something wrong.

  • Episode 90 - Greg Loring-"The Loremaster"-Albright explains what the heck is a "pervasive game"
    Moby Dick, the essence of gaming, art theft, and pervasive gaming; this episode has it all. If it sounds like I am smiling ear to ear while talking to Greg, it's because this was one of the most casual and fun conversations I've had on the podcast in a long time. Greg is a standup dude worth keeping your eye on, because he is busy helping to interpret, shape, and realize the bright future of our hobby in some truly fascinating ways.

  • Episode 89 - Chuck Pint of SFR is kickstarting Dragon Dice with new 4.0 Rules!
    Chuck Pint, president of SFR, inc, comes back on the show to talk about the new kickstarter to reprint Swamp Stalkers, which also kicks off the release of the much anticipated 4.0 rules. FULL DISCLOSURE - TCbH did the official "How to Play Dragon Dice 4.0 Rules" video for the campaign, which was sponsored by SFR, Inc. I have no official affiliation with SFR or Dragon Dice, other than being a long time fan, and I happily asked Chuck to come back on the show to talk about Dragon Dice with me.
