It’s the first day of Gen Con!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:35:03
Well aren’t you just a splendid, spiffy ol’ sport for dropping on by… Welcome to another episode of the Play Greater Podcast! It may be bad radio, but it’s a podcast, I guess…
Listen as one of your hosts Christopher and two of your hosts Paul intro-slash-banter so hard and so long that they almost get recast by Producer and Axis-upon-which-all-podcasts-rotate, Trevor Casterline. This boisterous banter includes but is not limited to topics such as: granola gaffes, macho mallards, and Martin Sheen.
Check below for links and/or info mentioned in episode:
Read the literary epic that is Christopher’s French Burned Peanut article here!
Recommendations (for future Mark):
1) Seeing dope, old things (some are kept in buildings while others are the buildings themselves)
The British Museum (the S-Tier move is to go here over two days)
The Natural History Museum
Westminster Cathedral
Hampton Court Palace
William the Marshall’s Tomb (only if you’re a hardcore fan of the 12th century)
2) Being in dope, old buildings and drinking beer (i.e. pubs)
Ye Olde Mitre (weekday only and is in a sketchy, dark alley… don’t worry about it)
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese (has food and catacombs… in no particular order)
The Grapes, Limehouse (owned by Sir Ian McKellen)
Local St. Louis Eatery:
Chuck's Hot Chicken
Lona's Lil Eats
