Stay ConnectedA podcast about boardgames with two hosts who happen to be left-handed.
Brandt Sanderson and Eric Summerer approach the hobby of boardgaming from their own particular angle, discussing games they’ve played, both together and with their respective groups, as well as tackling a discussion topic that the D12 of Fate decides for them.

Brandt and Eric discuss some birthday gaming before plunging into reviews of Gunsen: The Battle for Toshi Ranbo, Machi Koro Life, Into the Machine, and EXIT Advent Calendar: The Magic of Christmas. A certain D12 wants to complain about Game Length, and we revisit Distilled for our Doubles Review of the sprawling Cocktails expansion.
