The Houlihans, one of the house teams at the Brave New Workshop made up of Kara Pierce, Erin Anderson, Alli Rekow, Luke Gonnella, Tom Weber, Max Leibowitz, and our own Philip Simondet (Liv Augusta and Becci Schmidt unfortunately couldn’t make it) are on the first newly recorded episode of 2015. We’re a bit rusty after our long hiatus (and Max broke a glass) so for the first time ever, we had to start the podcast over from the beginning.

The Houlihans talk about the origin of their name, how their form has evolved, the challenges of playing games at a fast pace, and what it means to be a house team. Also, Doug teaches everyone a few things.
