We’re Not Wizards Tabletop Podcast

It starts with a clap,  Then a song,  then some impressions.. A little bit of politics.  Some introspection on the price of content Some Laughs  But no real board game chat.  May I present for your delight and enjoyment.  From This Game is Broken..  His Lord Matthew Jude.  *applause* For One Night Only.. THE DAN HUGHES APPRECIATION CABARET SHOW..   LINKS OF NOTES  https://twitter.com/matthew_jude_...
