Episode #8 of The BoardGameGeek Show — Watch It Played Joins BGG, Does Kickstarter Hurt Regular Games?
From gallery of W Eric Martin
After a week's hiatus due to travel that interrupted the filming schedule, the newest episode of The BoardGameGeek Show is now live, with Scott Alden, Lincoln Damerst, and I talking about the games we've played and discussing Kickstarter's continued impact on the hobby, but the lead-off announcement is one you might have already seen, that being the news that Rodney Smith of Watch It Played! will be working with BGG to create new video content for the site, while continuing to create his playthrough videos.

Scott and Lincoln recorded a segment with Rodney about this announcement at a convention we all attended, and that announcement is included at the start of this show:
