    Table Topics: Investing in the Hobby
    May 13 2025
    Kalee and Ashley approach the cost associated with investing in the hobby of board gaming–when and what to buy, the psychology of game advertisements, and even an example of developing games and seeing them published. Don’t worry–you don’t have to do the math. Want to discuss Investing in the Hobby or other topics?

Host Kalee Holdren retrieves stories from Reddit to share, with a rotation of guests who react and give feedback. Episodes look at specific scenarios, relationships, or types of games, and present advice and empathy to the posters or other characters in the chosen stories. Occasionally there’s a harsher rebuke - but all in the pursuit of better times with friends and better gaming. And honestly, sometimes you must speak truth when someone asks - AITA? Listeners will be guided across the ups and downs of games, deserved victories and crushing defeats, outbursts that may be or may not be about the game in question. The hosts approach the situations presented with humor and honesty, and invite listeners to send in stories they find, submit their own, or participate in the discussion on our social media and Discord.
