Master Master

Can stand the repeated “Master master” you somehow sound pompous and self conscious simultaneously.

Pecktec ,

Good show

I had some issues with one particular podcast a while back. But over all the guys do a good job at presenting game information in a fun way.

Great show with awesome hosts!

This show focuses on all things tabletop gaming and building the community that surrounds it. Donald and Eric are fun to listen to, very witty, and enjoy teaching others about board games and it certainly shows here. They are definately worth a listen, you will like what you find!
