One Stop Co-Op Shop
Peter Gousis, Michael Kelley, Steve Kingsley
One Stop Co-Op Shop is a podcast about cooperative boardgames. Game designers & publishers, Peter Gousis & Michael Kelley host the podcast.
Every other week we take one game and break it down to it's top 5 points (the good, the bad and our overall impressions). After we discuss the game we have a design discussion about one of the parts of the game.
We will also have occasional podcasts reviewing solo games, and other special episodes.

OSCS Extra: Reconnecting The Dots - Explaining Why Frosthaven Needs Cultural Consulting
In this OSCS extra, Jason flies solo and follows up on the most recent project update about the narrative of Frosthaven. Jason explains, point by point, why Isaac Childres was correct to seek out cultural consulting, and how a proper understanding of it can benefit any and all gamers who want to play.
This is the audio version of a video episode of Shelf Stories. It is highly, highly recommended to watch the video version because it contains many visual elements. However, some people like audio, so here it is. Please listen to this episode before you listen to my interview with Isaac Childres, upcoming in the OSCS feed.

217: An Honest Conversation About Gorinto with Mark Specter
Mark Specter, founder of Grand Gamers Guild, joins Jason to talk about the cultural aspects of his latest game, Gorinto - an abstract game with a theme drawn from Japanese Buddhism. A designer diary on BGG about Gorinto recently caused a social media kerfuffle. Mark talks about cultural awareness, when games cross a line, and a host of other topics. We don't hold back in this one!
