Tuesday Knight Podcast | All About Board Games

Tuesday Knighttuesdayknightgames.com
A community driven podcast about the stories we make while playing the games we love on, around, and under the gaming table. This podcast includes: stupid stories, a stupider host, dumb gaming news, elevator pitches for games, and some inside perspectives about running a game company. Join Alan Gerding and Sean McCoy (creators of the hit game "Two Rooms and a Boom"), along with a ragtag community of tabletop friends as they discuss pretty much anything that is remotely related to board games. You too can become a knight by emailing your own gaming story to podcast@tuesdayknightgames.com!
