Introduction to the Podcast
00:00:21
Speaker
Hello and welcome once again to Dice Dads, the podcast about gaming as parents by gamer parents. I'm your host, Josh Fry, and I want to thank you once again for tuning into this new episode. So it's been a very busy year for us here, and unfortunately, you haven't seen a lot of new episodes from Dice Dads drop for that reason. My co-host Chad in particular found himself getting pulled in lots of different directions, and this invariably led to us not being able to get much gaming time in.
00:00:49
Speaker
We kept pushing out our recording dates, hoping to be able to get some good gaming time in to discuss new and interesting games. But unfortunately, we just kept missing the mark there. And for that and the subsequent lack of new content on the podcast, I'd sincerely like to apologize.
Changes in Co-hosting
00:01:06
Speaker
So this has ultimately led to some changes. As I said, my co-host was finding it harder to focus on game and podcast time. And finally we came to the conclusion
00:01:16
Speaker
that it made sense for him to step away and turn his attention to the more pressing things that he has in his life. He will be stepping out of his role both as co-host of Diestads and as a partner in our game development company, Salamander Games. While I'm saddened to see him go, we were in agreement that it made the most sense so that we can all move forward and not feel conflicted or overcommitted with the limited hours that we have to spend each day. I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
00:01:41
Speaker
And I hope that this means he'll have a few hours here and there that he can come join in in a game night.
New Beginnings and Format
00:01:45
Speaker
So where does Daistads go from here? Well, I spent the last few months trying to mull that question over and come up with a good answer. And I decided that it is a good opportunity for a fresh start with some fresh perspectives. To that end, I've reached out and found several exciting voices in the tabletop hobby that were very interested in getting involved in the podcast. And I'm now in the process of getting us all pulled together as a team.
00:02:09
Speaker
This will change the format of the show somewhat, as I'm wanting us to take on a more of a discussion roundtable format with a wider view of the tabletop hobby in general. I'm very excited to see where this can take the podcast, and I hope that you will join us on this journey.
00:02:24
Speaker
To that end, I'm excited to announce that we are rebranding the podcast to better fit this new crew in the new direction that we're taking.
Rebranding and Contact Information
00:02:30
Speaker
Distads will be no more, and instead we are going to become the Corner Game Table, a board gaming podcast about board games, the people who play them, and the amazing experiences that are just waiting to be had when you sit down with other people around a game table.
00:02:46
Speaker
Our new group of exciting co-hosts has assembled at the best table in the house, and we've been saving a seat just for you. Won't you come over and join us? We look forward to providing you with loads of awesome new content in the future. You can reach out to us on Instagram, at Twitter, at Corner Game Table, or on Facebook on our page for the Corner Game Table.
00:03:07
Speaker
You can also email us at cornergametable at salamandergames.com.
Looking Forward and Listener Engagement
00:03:12
Speaker
The podcast feed should start reflecting our new branding after this episode drops. I wanted to make sure and explain what was going on before we started changing things around so as to not confuse anybody. I'm very excited at what the future has in store and you should be seeing new content from us in the near future as soon as we get the gang together.
00:03:32
Speaker
Thanks for listening and for your patience as we change things and move on to bigger and better. As always, we appreciate you listeners and welcome any suggestions on how to improve things for you. Until next time, I'm Josh and I wish you a happy game.
