I’ll just say this - this show is made of some of the best interviews ever.

These guys are incredibly entertaining while providing real conversation and insight into the ever-changing world of board games. Each episode tends to have a different flavor to it if they are having a guest on or just talking about certain games. That being said, there are no dull episodes. If...Read full review »

Richard has a wonderful way of connecting with his guests and an easy style with a truly calming voice. As an interview format it is rare in the boardgaming podcast arena. He and his guests are also quite progressive in their social and political views and they are not afraid of it. I feel...Read full review »

Gaming, comedy, and a charming host all in one! Highly recommend!

As I stated in the title, Wizards are not allowed to tell you they are wizards. Richard is not a wizard, he has many flaws... One of which is his dislike of Pogs. For this reason, I can only give this podcast a 5 out of 10. It would be capable of a 10 out of 10 should his position on Pogs change...Read full review »

If you want to find out more about the person behind the game designer, publisher or other tabletop game celebrity, then listen to Richard’s We’re Not Wizards podcast. Always a bit tongue in cheek and always informative and generally just so very enjoyable to listen to. Hat off to this conjurer...Read full review »

This is an AMAZING podcast and I really enjoy it!

I’ve listened to a bit of the show now, and I love it! Richard has a great sense of humor and I love his guest introductions. Great stuff!

Richard hosts a really enjoyable podcast chatting with folks from all different areas related to the board game hobby. Highly recommend giving this show a listen. Bonus: he occasionally features guests who are excellent at impersonating a Canadian accent.

Genuine, conversational podcast all about board games and the people that make and write about them. Sometimes stays on topic, but prone to the odd wild tangent.

Gave a listen based on internet Titan Dan Hughes’ recommendation. I was not disappointed. Great conversation with a light sprinkling of board games. I am now subscribed and can’t wait for more great conversation.

We had a great time on We’re Not Wizards. Richard provided a fun back and forth and while we are notably anxious at times, We’re Not Wizards provided an amazing experience! Can’t wait to be a guest again! Thanks!

But the show has cast a spell on me. I'm biased as I appear on episodes but it's a lovely chatty alternative to normal podcasts. Sarah Kennington and the former submariner were standout guests - I love getting to know these folk in an ostensibly more casual manner.Read full review »

Despite the shows name, this podcast is truly magic. With an insightful, funny host encouraging some great guests to reveal their gaming histories, working through to their current projects, it’s a great way to use your ears for an hour. Plus, if you are in fact a wizard, it’s a great way to spy...Read full review »

Funny, relaxed. Nice company to be in for the odd hour. Oh and they discuss boardgames too! This is one pod that I've quickly grown to looking forward to seeing in my download list.Read full review »

This show has such a diverse range of people on it and Richard is such an excellent host. I am always looking forward to the next one to see who they have managed to get on.
Iain McAllister via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/14/18
Highly recommended. Thoughtful, insightful but also funny and wildly entertaining.
RoseWired via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/14/17
Fantastic podcast that is a regular listen for me. Interesting and diverse guests with hilarious hosts. When I listen to this podcast in my car, I do sometimes worry about what other drivers think as they see me silently guffawing from the (I assume) relative boredom of their own vehicles, but it...Read full review »
A-Grizzle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/17
This is just a phenomenal podcast involving different aspects of the board game industry. Richard does a great job of interviewing his guests and making it seem like just a couple of good friends having a chat. Established designers or first timers using Kickstarter to bring their ideas to life,...Read full review »

I only have a casual interest in board games but I really enjoy this podcast, the hosts are very knowledgable and entertaining and they always have a wealth of interesting guests! If they can make a gaming convert of me then they must be worth a listen!
Wookienopants via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/03/17
We're not wizards is an absolute staple for me and my team. Not only do we really enjoy being a part of the show on occasion but Richard's relentless efforts to being the insights of people from across the tabletop gaming industry is unparalleled, revelaing all of the quirks, challenges...Read full review »

I am a regular listener to we're not wizards, Richard manages to get his guests engaged from the start in banter that makes these so enjoyable. The topic of board games is far from dry. I wish there were more episodes a month, this is one of my favourite podcasts.Read full review »

Well they're not wizards that's for sure. While I hear there are 2 hosts of the show, the few episodes I've listened to have only ever had one. My main complaint is I'm always disapointed when an episode ends. It was rather troubling when my bluetooth headphones died while running...Read full review »

Always an enjoyable listen and interesting guests. You may even learn a thing or two about board games. Remember though, they're many things, but they are not wizards!Read full review »

Fantastic show about the shockingly wide world of tabletop gaming. There is plenty to love about Richard, his voice, his guests and the games they play!

Video games podcasts are ten a penny, so it's nice to see tabletop being well represented here. Great for gaming fans who enjoy being board rather than bored (I'll get my coat)Read full review »

Very pleasant, lovely accents, i think i like listening people talk about board games a lot more than playing them.

Knowledgable people talking about board games? What's not to love. These guys are passionate as they come and even have some cool guests. A must listen.Read full review »

These chaps are a delight. Lots of lively chat about a massive variety of tabletop games, articulate deconstructions on why those games are (or are not) worth playing, and a large number of guest appearances from across the hobby.
xeroxeroxero via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/15/17
These hosts know what they are talking about! They evaluate the board games they play in and out while still creating a fun atmosphere and knowledgable discussion. It has a topic you dont hear often which really is refreshing! Keep it up!

There are not enough podcasts about board games and this is a great one...and I know this is a silly reason to listen, but THE ACCENTS ARE AMAZING! If you play games, check this out!

Whether you're a magic user or not, you'll be enthralled by Richards' enchanting mellow tones. no really, it's a good show, with great guests, like me :-) awesome interviews with players makers and fakers...we'll not the last, just needed a rhyme. SteeleEmpireRead full review »

I've never been a massive board game player, but it's something that's always interested me, and as such it's great to find a podcast that helps alleviate the intimidation surrounding board games to just give you a relaxed, friendly perspective. Even for somebody who has a passing...Read full review »

Ok let me get this out of the way: I was a guest on the podcast a few weeks back. Me and one of the hosts have gotten to know each other, and when I started getting into board games he asked me to come on and talk about my experience. Since then I've gone back and listened to a bunch of the...Read full review »

I used to play monopoly when I was supposed to be in high school. Smh. Couple dudes wit weird accents talking about games but not video games or online games... Board games. Definitely worth a listen. J-Boss from Excuse My Adlib
