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!

This week, I review the new reality/experiment show on the Discovery Channel, The Colony. Next, I have a great song for you from the group I Fight Dragons, who use old video game music in their songs. Their song is a cover of Jonathan Coulton’s “The Future Soon,” which I use as my theme song. Finally, we have an email from listener Joe, who recommends the following RPGs as being kid-friendly!
