Sporadically Board with Mike and Dan

Dan and I are known for our encyclopedic knowledge of most things in life. Board games? Sure. Puddings? Absolutely. Mechanical Engineering? Obviously. What many people don't realize is that we are also experts in AI technology and the societal and moral implications therein. Well, after this episode, there will be no question. Honorary Doctorates will assuredly be forthcoming. In addition to that,...

Can it be so soon? It seems like only 2 months ago that a Sporadically Board episode came crashing through the Internet to wash over your earholes in a soothing wave. Well, it's true. We're back, and we come to you with a MAJOR EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!  You, our beloved listeners, are being given a worldwide exclusive announcement before it gets revealed to the teeming masses of the ignorant. You,...

This episode was DEMANDED by the entire Board Game Snobs Community, and let me tell you, that guy was super annoying. Gaby and Jerry join us to talk about... ...honestly I have no idea. We played a couple of game shows, one by Dan and one by Jerry.  We talked about Jerry living in an area known primarily for death. We proposed ridiculous insurance claim scenarios for Gaby. Dan talked about windshi...

After the multimedia extravaganza that was Episode 100, we keep the fireworks going by inviting first time guest and first time designer Carl Robinson. Carl has designed Kelp, a two-player asymmetrical game that offers players a unique opportunity to delve into the natural world of Pyjama Sharks and Common Octopuses, set in a South African kelp forest. Those were absolutely my words alone, and not...

Episode 99. You know how sometimes when there's some kind of big numerical milestone looming on a podcast, the episode just before it is a lackluster placeholder type of episode? Well, we were going to do that but Gaby was unavailable, so instead Dan and I come to you with this episode that is chock full of spicy, saucy, sassy, succulent, spectacular content. Also, lots of poop talk.   Tune in to...

Well, what do you know? Another freshly baked episode comes piping hot out of the SpoBo oven, and it's ready for your hungry ears. I'd blow on it first if I were you, but I'll also understand if you're willing to char your canals if you just can't wait. In this episode, Mike and Dan discuss: Dan's bathroom renovation Dan's family vacation to Canterbury Dan's 5 star meal in Canterbury Uncle Ben's M...

Episode 97! Three away from a major milestone. Although as we've said in the past, that number is slightly suspect in the sense that every one of our episodes is at least 4 times the length of our "peers". Also, we pack more into a single episode than our "peers" will in a year. Speaking of packing it in, in this episode we cover: Pirate Dads Sweet, Sweet New Merchandise and Logo Gen Con Preview D...

Dan and Mike are recording with alarming frequency these days. Frankly, it seems suspicious if you ask me. However, as I'm one of the people participating and since I have no ulterior motive that I'm comfortable divulging, you'll all just have to go with us and enjoy the ride. And what a ride it is! On this episode, Dan and Mike discuss: The lie that is castor sugar. Why Dan's scones taste tangier...

Hot off the presses, here's episode 95! We invite special guest Ben Maddox of the fantastic Five Games For Doomsday podcast along for the ride, and what a ride it is. On this episode we discuss: Care Bears. The 2023 Spiel des Jahres Nominations. Mike's Root Canal. The many podcasts involving the participants that have lost the BGG Golden Geek Award, and how ultimately, the common denominator among...

In this episode, Mike and Dan discuss the Coronation of the King of England, (including Dan's taxes being used to fund it), and Free Comic Book Day!   We also discuss importing board games from parts of the world we don't live in, and mass market thriller novels.   You wanted your episdoes more frequent? Well, be careful what you ask for. Pretty soon we'll be like the Board Game Snobs and recordin...

Well, it's that time again. The time when all board game podcasts are pitted against each other in a no holds barred competition of bloodsport. Remember Bloodsport? With Claude Van Damme? They called him "The Muscles From Brussels". I digress. It's Golden Geek Awards time! While we like to be self-deprecating here at Sporadically Board, the truth is that Dan and I are proud that we've been able to...

Mike talks about his upcoming move back to the Midwest. Dan talks about stealthily eating crisps while recording a professional podcast. Aire Con and Dice Tower West battle it out in a "Battle of the Board Game Conventions". Actually they don't. But that would have been an ace idea. Why didn't we think of that? Also, some games.

Well this episode has been quite a journey. First, we had to scrap the first 30 minutes and se-start (no big loss there, we hadn't even made a single salient point). Next, we had multiple issues uploading the episode to the server. As I (Mike) type this, I have very little idea if this will even make it safe and sound to your ears. The fact that Mike is attempting to do this at all is proof positi...
