Marc Paquien is the creator of the board game "Treasure Island". In the game, one player "hides" the treasure and the other players ask questions and make calculations to find it.
Beyond that simple description, it's a game with all sorts of unique angles. We talk about Marc's creative process when designing a new game including how he works from the idea of evoking a particular emotion with the game rather than just being concerned with game dynamics right away.
There's also some good stuff in here about surrounding yourself with people that will be a positive influence on you accomplishing things you want to do.

Daniel Bjorkbacka aka Joe Blackheart is the founder and banjo player of Sweden's Pat Razket.
We dig into the band's background as a party and wedding band, the idea to become pirates, and the moment that convinced them to have a great show but also work harder on their music.
And work harder, they have! Their 2nd album Deeds and Debts is fantastic. And you can get it right here: https://amzn.to/2GlsG3c

Ray Arnoult is the owner of Pirate Guitar Effects out of New Orleans/Wichita. Guitars AND pirates? Yeah!
We talk about growing up in New Orleans and how that affects a child's musical experiences. We'll find out how Ray is making his company stand out in a the very crowded guitar effect market. And we'll find out the flag of Republic of Bimini was pretty darn violent.
Plenty of guitar talk too. I've got you non-guitarists covered with a little edumacation at the top of the show so you can follow along. More info in the full show notes too. Be sure to check out all the videos for sound samples of the stuff we're talking about.
And why am I in the closet this week?
