Podcasts by One Stop Co-Op Shop
One Stop Co-Op Shop is a podcast about cooperative boardgames. This podcast has revolving hosts every other week.
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. This podcast is hosted by Peter Gousis and Michael Kelley.
On the other weeks Steve Kingsley and a rotating co-host do a top 5 review and have a related discussion.
Jason Perez has episodes on Wednesdays focusing more on Solo gaming, with a lean toward Co-Op solos.
