Fritz GoddardGuestWelcome to episode 118 of Breakup Gaming Society, a podcast for board game freaks, hip-hop junkies, the unapologetically multi-syllabic, and for friends who destroy their cars in sacrifice to Warhammer 40,000's God Emperor.
That would be Breakup Gaming Society contributor and friend of the show, Fritz Goddard, who made it all the way down to Starkville from Laramie.
Over the three days of his visit, I flipped the mic on and off with little regard to best recording practices as we stuffed our faces, guzzled beer, invented impossible sponsorship plans, and played Space Hulk Death Angel.
There will be little regard for the usual structure of this program.
Instead, you'll get audio snapshots of our chats across three days with some occasional commentary and music segments popping in here and there.
We crack some beers and review Fritz's journey of discovery and board gaming and where I think that journey is going to lead next.
Breakup Gaming Society writer Fritz Goddard rolled up in my driveway, Starkville, for what is probably the last time, either by sale, eviction, or simply running into the night.
Fritzie finished up his term at Laramie, just bagged his first year, and is halfway to an MFA, motherfucking A. Let's hope
that I can keep the momentum going, and I think that this weekend, this kickoff, or this celebration of the winding down of Starkville will be enough to propel me through...
The next day, dude, I barely remember playing the turns, and I set up a few losing hands that we passed out listening to audio fiction.
