I'm in a bit of a quandary here, because Mark told me not to tell you what this episode is even about, but I want this description to be, well, descriptive but he's glaring at me really hard, and making a throat slitting gesture so I daren't risk it.

If you replayed all the published SVWAG episodes back-back, it would take over 355 hours, or almost 15 days. This is not necessarily how we would recommend you spend your time. Indeed, for our purposes, we are equally wrong regardless of whether anyone is there to hear it; while we sometimes engage with Western philosophy due to Mark's academic background, the realm of the koan is beyond our purview.
Long story short, feel free to re-download all our episodes to your heart's content. I'm sure it would help us with some algorithm somewhere.

On this… seedy… episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are talking about two bucolic farm-em-ups in Windmill Valley and Harvest, as well as the utterly innocent Courtisans. Emily decided the theme on this one after the fact and I’m still reeling. Seedy? It’s a family show, come on now We also end up spending a weird amount of time getting into the particulars of how the two very pleasant and agricultural games listed are not entirely to each other's aesthetic tastes. Strange!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Chris wraps up his run by diving deep into when games get storage solutions right...or so very very wrong.
FIRST PLAYER: Chris
OTHER PLAYERS: Kerley, Becky & JP
In this episode you'll learn:
- how Fire Tower by Goliath Games fuels aggro behaviour in kids
- that Nucleum from Board & Dice gets a second shot at redemption with JP and stays in the collection
- that Kerley actually likes a roll & write game (well a draft & write) in Draft & Write Records by Inside Up Games
- about Chris' continuation of Skyrim: The Adventure Game by Modiphius Entertainment
- on when publishers get inserts right and when they don't included some of our examples
- Kerley's unorthodox storage method akin to storing DVD's in the wrong case...cue sick noises
