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!

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!

And don’t forget, our friend Doug is at sea on the JOIDES Resolution expedition, and is blogging and Twittering back his experiences as a science teacher witnessing lots of scientists studying the sea floor. Check out Doug’s blog!
