HTGYG Show #51: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week, I wanted to play some of the great voicemails I got from you all out there congratulating me on the 50th show! Then I reviewed the board game Pandemic, and its expansion On the Brink, produced by Z-Man Games.

Amanda was a little sick as I produced this episode, so since we had sort of a disease theme going here, we finish up with a song by MC Frontalot featuring Jonathan Coulton called “Diseases of Yore.” The video is from their live performance at PAX. You can download this song and many of his other Nerdcore offerings free at his site!
