Paragons of Change 2. - Mark Cooke

The year 2020 has been a year coloured by change. Changes in many ways have touched many people's lives. Paragons of Change is a series of interviews with people from boardgaming sphere whom I’ve noticed going through changes in recent times. We talk about change and what they have changed in their lives. By default we do not claim we state facts, we only talk from our own points of view and our opinions. As the discussion might take a negative note, we try finish with a positive – by giving you a Top9 list of games. The topic of the list has been chosen by the guest and we will have a “battle of the lists” after the episode airs in my social media channels – you, dear listener, are encouraged to comment and vote on the lists to see which one of us did better. The second Paragon of the series is Mark Cooke, the smooth operator for the last proper board gaming convention in the world when this episode airs. Will there be any new ones? Who knows! He aims to be the host of the First one of next year as well - let's see! We talk about moving around, Twitter, Mark's work and unemployment during the time of pandemic while also touching on the hotness of Dávid Turczi. There might be variation in sound level, apologies for that, Skype forced an automatic mic level which changed the level in Audacity also - but it was great to find out about this! I tried my best, apologies if there are too much variation to hurt your ears - but there shouldn't be! Comments are welcome, hope you enjoy this bit and will be back for rest of the series. Voting for our Top9's will commence some time after this episode drops. Top9 starts at about 33:50 , the topic in this episode is Games Featuring Food or Drinks. Thank you for listening!
