“Podcasting since 2005, Mark and his guests can speak with a sense of perspective on the hobby, a refreshing change from the many podcasts that focus so much on more recent games. Mark is a gentle host and his interviews often feel like a nice chat between friends.”

“I like the fact that Mark keeps this podcast simple, straightforward, and consistent. It's like an audio blog since he doesn't try to do anything more special than give his personal thoughts on games he's played and cons he's attended. I feel like I have a better sense of his tastes than most...”Read full review »

“When I was getting into the hobby Mark was the voice of reason in the hobby. We disagree on certain games, but you really feel like you're having a conversation with a friend about games.”

“Mark is the grand-daddy of the boardgame podcast genre (he would insist a couple other shows beat him out of the gate). His show is the progenitor of countless others in the past decade. And yet, his show is still the best. I discovered BGTG when I was new to the hobby, and now, years later, I'm...”Read full review »

“Great, easygoing podcast. My favorite boardgame podcast by far. Mark does a nice job going over tons of games weather he likes them or not. Guests are always great when they play off of each other.”

“A great discussion about modern microgames and the inevitable curse of how to define them. Thanks for featuring Famous 500 and my other tiny sports games available from www.FamousGames.co - I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Keep up the great podcast and I'm looking forward to #150.”

“I love listening to Mark and I look forward to new episodes. My only complaint is that he doesn't release episodes often enough, but I have been subscribed to him longer than any other podcast.”

“I love this podcast. Mark and his guests have great insights into board gaming and I really like their perspective. Now that I've burned through every episode available, I find myself wishing that the podcast was being released more regularly/frequently because I want more!”

“Mark Johnson is just the most easygoing and pleasant host you could want for a low-key, consistently engaging podcast like this one. And it's one of the few board gaming podcasts left that's completely free of advertising or self-promotion.”

“But Mark is, still I did not hold that against him and I checked out his podcast. I have heard half of the back log now and it's just great he is so pleasant to listen to. I really don't know anything about the topic of the show (I just like podcasts) so I wish the descriptions of the rules and...”Read full review »

“Mark Johnson is a veteran of the boardgame hobby, and he has the perspective and insight that goes with all his experience. If you want fluff and high production values, look elsewhere, but for solid and though-provoking boardgame content, tune your iPods here!”

“If you are enjoying the current renaissance of boardgames (both Euro and American), this is a MUST listen. Mark is very consistent and professional in his approach to this podcast. All of his shows are well-researched and carefully produced. It comes through loud and clear that he enjoys doing...”Read full review »
