| 17 Jul 2023 | Episode 97: Educating Evan | 01:26:14 | |
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:
I'd like to see our "peers" cover that amount of material in their "shows". And that's not even mentioning our audience favorite "Brown Bread" game show. Take that "peers".

| 26 May 2024 | Episode 106: Fauxgels, Goulash and the (Taylor) Reinerssance | 02:04:25 | |
We used to have guests on this podcast quite regularly. Then we didn't. Such are the vagaries of life. But sometimes. Sometimes you run across someone who's artistic vision is so pure and unsullied that you simply must invite them onto your podcast so that you can shove them back towards the mainstream, and crush any artistic joy they once had. Our guest this episode is the wonderful Taylor Reiner, who is the creator of the "Taylor's Trick Taking Table" You Tube channel that focuses on trick taking games from around the world. Taylor is also a rising star in game design and development, with two games currently published, Short Zoot Suit and Of What's Left. Also soon to release is Seer's Catalog from Bezier Games. On this episode we discuss:
As a bonus, Taylor and I include a top 3 for Dan's benefit. It's called, "Top 3 Games for People who are Fightened and Confused by Trick Taking Games".

| 18 Sep 2023 | Episode 99: Magically Delicious | 01:30:01 | |
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?

Mike and Dan decided that it'd been too long since they chatted to Matthew Jude and so asked him if he wanted to record a podcast. And he did. There's no overarching theme this episode, do you'll not be getting the laser focused and on topic podcast you are used to. However the guys do get through at least 4 listener questions over the course of nearly two hours, and there is even some board game content there if you really dig for it. You can Matthew's reviews over on the This Game is Broken Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChACtrPKpYX2Q866icWzthg | |||

On this episode, Dan and Mike discuss:

| 14 Apr 2023 | Episode 93: Yet Again, Your Consideration is Requested - with Luke Prior | 01:43:59 | |
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!

Those were absolutely my words alone, and not a cut and paste from Board Game Geek.

| 13 Feb 2023 | Episode 91.5 : Dan and Mike Succumb To The Whims of Technology | 01:23:30 | |
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 positive that we have explored every possible avenue. Here's hoping.
We chat about games (I know, right?). We chat about cars. Well, mostly Mike does. It's riveting stuff.
Mike asks Marcus to mark some things down, adding to his incalculable work load.
We recommend things. Am I typing this in vain? Will this work? | |||

Welcome to a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE of Sporadically Board. AireCon NW has just ended, and while Dan drove home with nary a care, Mike braved the horrors of British Airways and the Manchester Airport to eventually get home to the US. His luggage arrived days later. While at AireCon, Dan put together a cracking quiz show where Mike, Zee and Camilla (from The Dice Tower) represented the United States against the entire UK represented by Dan's ridiculous questions and the audience. This battle of cultural knowledge was as hard fought and underhanded as you can imagine.

| 20 Jul 2021 | Ep 72: Shipping with Frank West | 02:21:27 | |
We don't usually do time stamps on the podcast, however because Frank has such interesting stuff to say (and Mike and I are spouting banalities as usual) you may want to skip to around 40 mins when the good stuff starts. | |||

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 windshield screens, whatever those are. I'm sure I talked about stuff. Also, Jerry got progressively more affected by all the Kentucky Derbys.

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, just by virtue of having impeccable taste in podcasts, will be able to tease, infuriate, and frustrate your friends and loved ones by withholding this major announcement and holding it over their heads like an informational Sword of Damocles. If that wasn't enough, we also discuss such hot button topics as:

| 21 Jul 2024 | Episode 108: Metropolitan Elites | 00:50:04 | |
NEW FORMAT ALERT: In an attempt to always be on the cutting edge of podcast technology, Dan and I are trying a new format for the podcast. Don't worry, the same rambling, nonsensical claptrap you know and loathe remains, but it's just more condensed! NOW you can experience Mike and Dan in shorter bursts, more often. [pause for innuendo] We begin this new adventure here, at episode 108. To be honest, there's so much entertainment packed into these 50 minutes that it would have been irresponsible for us to have gone on any longer. We care about you, the listener, too much to give you more than these 50 minutes of jam packed, razor honed genius. And as a bonus, we'll be back with episode 109 sooner than you'd expect! | |||
