Top-notch boardgaming podcast
The Dicetower is one of the premier boardgaming (and cardgaming) podcasts out there. I didn't get on board until about show #120, but they are so chock-full of useful info and entertaining segments that I've been working my way back steadily through the older episodes (I've got as far as #80). The strength of the podcast is built around the easy banter of the hosts, Tom Vasel and Sam Healey, with their different, yet complementary, views of gaming generating plenty of interesting discussions. Around this core are some superb contributions from people like Moritz Eggert, Geoff Englestein and Eric Sumerer, which combine humour with a deep knowledge of various aspects of gaming (e.g. history, mathematics). A wide spectrum of gaming is represented, from children's games to wargames, and nothing is dismissed, so there's always guaranteed to be something of interest to listen to, whether a game review, session report or breaking news. Speaking of which, the prolific Mr Vasel receives many games before they hit the shops, so up-to-date reports of new games are a highlight of the podcast, but older games are frequently revisited in the form of session reports or the always-entertaining 'Top Ten Lists'. With a great combination of wit, international flavour, knowledge, opinion and diversity, The DiceTower is a great way to find out what's going on in the boardgaming world, what's hot and what's not, and pass away those lonely hours on the daily commute.Read full review »
