a few words about us
Kathleen and I have been playing games together for years, and we’ve enjoyed talking over our thoughts in regard to design, theme, choice, and mechanics. We’ve done what we can to spread the word to those around us, and started recording our podcast, The Player One | Player Two Podcast, in 2019. As we’ve grown in our love and appreciation of the hobby, we’ve also grown as people—taking a break in recording during the difficult summer of 2020.
We hope to share some of what we learned about both in the musings recorded on this website.
