Context Free is a podcast all about games in our lives: cardboard, console, role-playing, mobile, VR, retro. The only thing we like more than playing games is talking about games and how they intersect everything.

Customer Reviews
These guys speak the language of grown-up gamers with jobs
Jason & Jason convey not only a wealth of experience and knowledge about board games and video games, but also speak to the culture of grown-ups who love to game in the midst of our busy, grown-up lives. These guys clearly love gaming, and that comes across not only in the interesting recommendations - I really want to play Azul after they talked about how novel and beautiful it is - but also in the way they talk about what a fun night of gameplay means to them. And, I love the stories about the alternately satisfying or maddening experiences that particular games produce (I'm looking at you, Rocket League).
Board and video game discussion
The hosts are very knowledgeable about board games and video games. I enjoy listening to their analysis and recommendations. They provide extensive references.
Board Games and more
A great podcast that focuses on board games. Gaming generally, cultural analysis and a variety of pleasant tangents also make an appearance. Highly recommended!
