Rory O'Connor is one of the Founders of Hub Games, a company that started out with the Phenomenal success of Rory's Story Cubes and went on to push the envelope with regards to how we play games with Holding On: The Troubled Life Of Billy Kerr.

And you know what? He's a genuinely lovely guy to chat with. So sit down, listen and enjoy. Because I did.

Richard is joined by Gavin Vance to talk about his delightful and charming Worker placement game Scoffton, in which you aim to fill your belly and avoid the bad prawns as you chow down as cheaply as possible.
We chat about his intro into games, as well as Neighbours and Prisoner Cell Block H and then the logistic issues in sending games out from Australia and getting previews from the other side of the world. I have a lot of fun chatting with Gavin and I hope you enjoy listening.

Richard is joined by friend and movie critic Marshall Julius to chat about his life involved in Movies, Geekdom and love of all things Cinema. It's not boardgames, but it's fabulous stuff.
We talk about his life in movie media, and what led to him publishing his ultimate quiz book Vintage Geek as well as talking about merchandising and giving movies marks out of ten.
It's a fun chat, and I hope you follow Marshall on Twitter and check out his book.

Joined by Adam Hill, today we are talking about the runaway success of Godspeed, the latest Pandasaurus game to hit Kickstarter and hit it hard. We have a chat about his foray into designing, his studies of theology and his doctorate and his relationship with his faith and tabletop.
And there's a lot of nonsense going on as usual. But we had fun. Even if Adam has a Wizard game.
Check out the links below but I'll never speak to Adam again if he gets that Wizard game signed.
