Kalee and Ashley cover games that had their day, and now they're BANNED! Maybe they don't work with the players available, maybe individuals have bad history with them, or maybe....things just didn't click. There are stories of individuals holding to their bans, and much discussion on what's been banned by the gamers of r/boardgames. Lots of repeats in those lists, it turns out.

Kalee on BGG

Table Topics Podcast delves into the panoply of stories posted online to find those related to the hobby of tabletop gaming and gaming in general. Host Kalee Holdren retrieves stories from Reddit to share, with a rotation of guests who react and give feedback. Episodes look at specific scenarios, relationships, or types of games, and present advice and empathy to the posters or other characters in the chosen stories. Occasionally there’s a harsher rebuke - but all in the pursuit of better times with friends and better gaming. And honestly, sometimes you must speak truth when someone asks - AITA? Listeners will be guided across the ups and downs of games, deserved victories and crushing defeats, outbursts that may be or may not be about the game in question. The hosts approach the situations presented with humor and honesty, and invite listeners to send in stories they find, submit their own, or participate in the discussion on our social media and Discord.

The Game Table Podcast is an exploration of various board, card, and tabletop games. Hosted by Ian Mansfield and Jared Snyder, this podcast offers listeners a comprehensive look at different games, providing overviews, insights on gameplay, and personal thoughts to help you decide if a game is right for your table.

Each episode delves into a specific game, discussing its mechanics, strategies, and overall experience. Whether it's a family-friendly game like "Once Upon a Castle" or a more strategic title like "Apiary," we bring our enthusiasm and expertise to the table. We also share tips, reviews, and sometimes even the history behind the games they feature.

Listeners can expect a mix of humor, detailed analysis, and genuine passion for gaming, making it a perfect companion for both seasoned gamers and newcomers alike. We also encourage community interaction through our website, social media, and Discord.

Doctor Cortlyn returns for a health centered episode! Board gaming is a fairly safe hobby, but there are always health needs to take into account. Kalee and Cortlyn cover a reddit saga of someone with a diagnosis, and a coworker who just won’t let it go. We often have strong feelings around our health, and they can easily end up at the table. So let’s talk about it!

We’re halfway through summer, so it’s time to talk about a regular summer activity - vacations! Kalee and Ashley discuss their favorite gaming memories from trips, and talk through stories where some vacation priorities are just not aligning. We all want to make the most of our time away, and that can often include games, but there is always a line. And it often comes down to communication.

Do you ever just feel like the world is against you? Well, maybe it’s just everyone else at the table. Kalee and a new guest, Josh, discuss these moments and how to navigate them. Sometimes it’s good to lean into advantages. Sometimes it’s better to make deals. But if you’re being teamed-up against for reasons other than gameplay, that might be a problem.
