Podcasts by Patrick and Eric in the Morning
Patrick and Eric in the Morning is a spinoff of the Golden Geek-nominated What Did You Play This Week Podcast — which featured both Patrick Hillier and Eric Buscemi as regular contributors. When, after nearly four years, WDYPTW wound down, Patrick and Eric decided to continue recording a free-form conversation-style show together loosely inspired by Troy and Abed’s morning show from the cult classic sitcom Community. Each episode, for around half an hour, the co-hosts discuss a broad topic — including individual board game mechanisms, game catalogues of notable designers, and recent tabletop events they’ve participated in — instead of regularly previewing or reviewing specific games.
