#349: A Plowful of Games

Von: Pickaxe
25. Februar 2025 um 12:00

While we hate to confirm your most reductive of preconceived notions, snow removal in Canadian cities is no joke. The fleet of vehicles required to allow for daily life in even a small Canadian city after major snowfall is impressive. The balletic dance of some of their formations while in operation calls to mind the precise of mid-air refuelling.

Episode 329: Special Guest Peter C. Hayward

25. Februar 2025 um 01:10

This week, Conor and Lauren are joined by Peter C Hayward, designer of podcast darling Things in Rings. Peter sports his blue beard talking about his approach to design, his plethora of upcoming releases, and his affinity for Pixar easter eggs. Then, Lauren shares her recent Button Shy escapades. Conor tells us about some prototypes from former podcast host Sarah which includes a disdain for onions and affinity for spirits.

There is no Question of the Pod this week due to scheduling changes, but we’ll return to our QotP segment in our next release. Outside that, there’s still the usual chatter about what has been hitting our tables, and what has us fired up!
