WHO ARE WE
The Board Game BBQ Podcast is Australia’s premier podcast in the world of board gaming. The show was founded in 2020 by a group of Australian friends who shared a love for board games and a desire to create a platform for discussing the latest games and industry trends.
The podcast quickly gained traction within the gaming community, thanks to the hosts’ entertaining banter, their passion for the hobby, and their engaging personalities. Each episode of the show features in-depth discussions and reviews of the latest board games, as well as interviews with designers and industry insiders.
The Board Game BBQ Podcast has been praised for its inclusivity and commitment to promoting diversity within the gaming community. The hosts have worked to create a welcoming and inclusive space for gamers of all backgrounds and identities, and have been vocal advocates for underrepresented groups in the hobby.
In addition to their regular episodes, the hosts of the Board Game BBQ Podcast also participate in live events, including their own Game Days held in Australia and at major gaming conventions like ComicCon and PAX Australia. They also collaborate with other podcasts and content creators in the gaming community, demonstrating their commitment to building strong connections within the industry.
Since its founding, the Board Game BBQ Podcast has continued to grow and evolve, attracting a large and loyal fanbase around the world. With their engaging personalities, insightful analysis, and commitment to inclusivity, the hosts have become trusted voices in the gaming community, and the podcast remains one of the most popular and respected sources of board gaming content available today.
