Listen every week
I listen to this podcast every week. I appreciate the differences and similarities between the two hosts, and the respectful and thoughtful insights they bring with their own opinions, as well as those of their co-host. They often disagree about the games they talk about, and always find common ground. The ‘News, and why it doesn’t/sometimes matters’ section, especially in the last year, can include opinions on individual designers or companies that are not living up to - in the hosts minds - the fair and inclusive hobby and greater society they are hoping for. They noted early on that, as individuals with their own podcast and a large audience of listeners, not speaking about these issues would be tacitly condoning what they believe to be racist or sexist behavior, and I applaud the fact that they bring up these issues and share their opinions. These are obviously matters of import to the hosts, and I see it as their attempt to improve and make more inclusive the hobby they love so much. And they’re generally 3 minutes or less, so short rants, if they could even be described as such.

My favourite podcast about my favourite hobby. SVWAG is kind, funny, fair and ultimately smarter than most news outlets. Highly recommended. Winner of the 2021 BoardGameGeek award for best podcast.

The show moves along quickly and they make frequent reference to the mechanical predecessors and...Read full review »
