I Made you a Mixtape reaches backers AND Mike and Dan get to game together at the Dice Tower Retreat. Thats more activity that this podcast has had since Mike broke the news that he had joined the Dice Tower and dan chased a rabbit around a car park! Also - Happy 40th Birthday to our favorite Bruce! (apart from Springsteen and Willis. And Campbell. And Lee, Dickinson and Forsyth - Mike doesn't actually know who that last one is but he strangely still prefers him).

Mike and Dan talk about cars, the internet, and board games. It truely is as scintilating an episode as it sounds.

Dan and Mike are joined by Jeff from Tabletop toolbox (and the Dice Tower) to talk about the usual claptrap. You can find Jeff's youtube channel here: https://youtu.be/2Irh8VHPDxU?si=Jp-l9MTl2pkkiIrz

All right stop, collaborate and listen Dan and Mike are back with the brand-new invention Something, grabs a hold of us tightly Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop? Yo, we don't know Turn off the lights and we'll glow To the extreme we rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle Dance go rush to the speaker that booms We're killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom Deadly when we play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony Love it or leave it you better gang way You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play And if there was a problem, yo, we'll solve it Check out the hook while our DJ revolves it

Sometimes life gets so busy that you let time get away from you, and realize that it's been far too long since you've had a proper chat with a friend. Such has been the case with our guest who's been part the show since the very beginning, the lovely Matthew Jude. Quick hugs and hurried greetings at conventions aside, it's been a while since we've been able to spend a dedicated amount of time chatting with Matthew. Well, THAT ENDS NOW! On this very special episode of Blossom, Matthew chats with us about his love of travel on his own terms. In addition to his stellar work in board gaming, he also has a travel focused YouTube channel, Yesland, which you can visit here: https://youtube.com/@yeslandtravel?si=8Kina8ybhhlI6eKv In addition to our discussion of world travels, we discuss: Stand up desks Desk trampolines Bad backs UK and US music number ones Also, our game I Made You a Mixtape is NOW LIVE on Kickstarter! Please visit our Kickstarter page and check it out. Maybe even back it. Maybe even back multiple copies. Joking aside, we'd really love it if you could spread the word about it. This is the most powerful marketing we can afford with our budget of zero dollars, and it's so incredibly powerful. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cabbagedan/i-made-you-a-mixtape

WARNING: Mike is not on this episode. Dan is left to host for himself. The results are predictable. Thankfully we have TWO guests to compensate! Super-designer Frank West is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in the Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming game, Emberleaf! also, Super-human Luke Prior is here! We're especially appreciative as he's knees deep in spotted dick. Also, he works for Gamefound. As I wasn't in this episode, I have no idea what they talked about. Dan also left me no notes. I'm listening as I write this. So far, they've talked about: German potatoes Watching Monty Python films for free on slot machines The Gang Luke's degenerate gambling habit Ok, that's all I have time for. I need to get this out to your yearning earholes. I do know that the jist of the conversation revolves around crowdfunding. Speaking of, you really should check out Frank's cracking new game Emberleaf! (I played it at AireCon NW, and really enjoyed it): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tcokgame/emberleaf Also, if you'd be so kind as to check out the upcoming Kickstarter project, I Made You a Mixtape, designed by myself and Dan we'd greatly appreciate it.

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. WHO answered the diabolical questions the best? WHAT was Mike doing with a slide whistle? WHERE were the Yorkshire puddings? WHEN will we be allowed to re-enter the UK? All of these questions answered and more on this SPECIAL LIVE EPISODE of Sporadically Board!

Hold onto your hats as we're releasing podcasts thick and fast at the moment (well, this is the second this month anyway). And in this episode we finally able to announce the date of our Kickstarter for "I Made You a Mixtape" - the game that Mike and I have been working on for the past two years. Hurrah!

As you know, Dan and I like to keep things light and frothy in most circumstances (it's also the way Dan prefers his Venti, Quad, Half-Caff, Non-Fat, No Foam, Extra Hot, Peppermint, White Chocolate Mocha with Light Whip, 2 Pumps of Sugar-Free Vanilla, 1 Pump of Classic, a Dash of Cinnamon, a Splash of Soy Milk, Double Blended, with Chocolate Drizzle on Top and a Light Dusting of Matcha Powder order at Starbucks). But on rare occasions, we need to get down to BUSINESS. You may not realize this, but Dan and I are very serious BUSINESS people. And in this topsy-turvy world, what can you depend on if not for BUSINESS? In this episode we discuss: BUSINESS

Sound the trumpets! Ring the bells! Trim the hedges! Yes, it's time for another incomparable, inconceivable, incompetent epidode of Sporadically Board. LISTEN - as Dan quizzes Mike about hip new phrases buzzing around the zeitgeist. YEARN - as Dan discusses the pleasures of cheese on Christmas Cake. QUIVER - as Mike elucidates on why he wants to be a guava. GENUFLECT - to the mailbag altar, spilling its contents all over the Internet. WEEP - at the omission of A Few Acres of Rubbish.
