BONUS! Episode 101: Rikki Tahta makes games for groups
As part of an ongoing volunteering job with Kantcon, a fantastic tabletop gaming convention here in the Kansas City metro area, I record and write up interviews with a few of their sponsors each year. Rikki Tahta in the UK talked to me about his company, MeetMax Games, and why the games are fun, how the games work in groups, and his inspiring and revolutionary take on games for corporations and events: Fun over functional. Want to learn more about Tahta and his team's work? Listen to this episode, and check out these links: MeetMax Games Games of theirs that he mentions in the podcast At the Races Elephants on Mars

Episode 100: Brendan Howard makes a podcast
Yup. I think it's been 100 or so episodes. So, I thought I'd mark the occasion with a conversation with somebody else who's made podcasts and watched them ... not grow. (That's Jimbo Radio; I've been on a few times and thoroughly enjoy my conversations with James.) The What People Do podcast started more than six years ago with a recording in a library meeting room with a former colleague right as COVID spun up before the lockdown. It continues, every month or so, recorded online now in my apartment living room. Why did I make it? Because I get tired of self-promotional, ad-ridden podcasts. I wanted to make a thing that just ... exists ... to serve my own curiosity and interest in relating to, and asking questions about, people's lives. There has never been a direction or a focus beyond 1) the people who ask to be interviewed, or 2) the people I ask to interview. There are more rabbis and RPG folks only because that's closer to my wheelhouse as I volunteer to make content for a local RPG convention and pursue my own rabbinate and Judaism in general. Well, don't I normally supply links? Well, here ya go. If you'd like to ever support me financially, feel free to subscribe to my Substack or ask to collaborate on something with me: My rabbinic Substack My random Patreon My random YouTube My sort-of-outdated Linktree

Episode 99: Rabbi Norman Solomon wrote about what we mean when we say ‘God’
Rabbi Norman Solomon served in many important capacities in the United Kingdom during his decades of service as a pulpit rabbi and educator. But the title of his latest book—which promised a delve into what we might mean in the modern world with our talk of God—promised to be a rich read. And it has been, with its very personal and idiosyncratic writing style and conventions. Anyone with an interest in thinking about God in Judaism or Christianity in the modern world might find much to agree with, smile at, and wrestle with in the book. I was also delighted to find out Rabbi Solomon has a delightful sense of humor. You will be too. Further resources Read Making Sense of ‘God’: What God-Talk Means and Does book Peruse Rabbi Solomon’s writing for the Torah.com website
