Space-Cast! #31. An Undaunting Conversation
As befits as large and ambitious a game as Undaunted: Stalingrad, today on the Space-Cast! we’re joined by Trevor Benjamin and David Thompson to discuss WWII, inclusions and omissions in historical games, and whether board games are art — or at least what it means for them to have authorial intent.

The podcast seems to cut out abruptly at the end. But great conversation otherwise!
Oh sheesh. That’s happened before with my dang podcast host, and I don’t know why it happens. It should be fixed now. Thank you for the heads-up!
Yep, it’s fixed, thanks!
