The BGG Show: Aldie Goes Missing, Chaz Steps In, and Clouds Take Charge

The BGG Show: Aldie Goes Missing, Chaz Steps In, and Clouds Take Charge
From gallery of W Eric Martin
For the first time on The BoardGameGeek Show, boss Scott Alden goes missing! Scott was busy overseeing BGG's move to cloud-based servers when we recorded this episode, and for some reason he viewed the preservation and functioning of the site over talking with us. The nerve!

Chaz Marler pinch-hit for Scott and Steph Hodge, who was also away, and the four-person line-up might be something we stick with for future shows given that it allows for more free-flowing conversations and an easier editing job once Lincoln gets hold of our individual feeds. We'll rotate through the seats based on who's available when to keep things fresh.

For now, though, you can take a listen to host Rodney Smith as he segues like a master from one topic to the next. It's almost like he's a skilled video host or something...
