Sigh…the search for a good podcast continues

“I have been looking for a good board game podcast for awhile. This one was recommended to me by a friend. After a few episodes I am not quite sure how I feel about SVWAG. On one hand I really appreciate their knowledge and experience about the hobby. Their analysis about good mechanics (or lack there of) is very insightful. It doesn’t hurt that their tastes usually align with mine. I’ve seen several negative reviews complaining about their progressive politics which doesn’t bother me. My main gripe is the tone of one of the hosts. I thought Mark had a bad day on the latest episode and went back to other episodes and found the same bombastic, acidic attitude. At best, he sounds like the guy at your FLGS who makes fun of the games you like - at worst he sounds like a condescending talk-radio host screaming into the abyss while Mike tries to calm him down. There are a few glimmers of self-aware sarcasm where I suspect Mark is in on the joke but most of the time he just comes off as the “sweaty try-hard” that he constantly bemoans. Like I said, I agree with most of his points. He just doesn’t sound like he is having any fun.”

“On an early episode, Mark made reference to Star Control 2. I then played Star Control 2 for the first time. Ipso facto, five stars.
Also, it’s a podcast about board games with thoughtful criticism that respects the listener’s time. Give it a try.”

“What a waste of intellectually intetesting convos on designer boardgames, when you have to swallow gallons of overly sensitive trite about “problematic” game design decisions, and which people in the industry needs to be censured. Virtue signalling BS.”
