Dancing With the Bards

A tabletop game review podcast hosted by Ian, Brooke, and Will. We invite our friends to join us as we play and discuss boardgames and TTRPGs. https://linktr.ee/dancingwiththebards
Some of you may have noticed that there isn't an episode out today. Unfortunately, Bards will be on a hiatus for a while. Everyone is okay, but there have been a lot of factors lately that have made producing content difficult for us.

One of the great American Bards has passed. He will be missed by all of us.
Larry got it from Stephen. He got it from Brooke. We all agree it must have been Chris who gave it to her. He got it from Ian, who got it from Will.
It doesn't rhyme, but his songs spread through our group like a bad rash.

Tom Lehrer died today. He was one of the great comedians our culture ever produced. Without Tom, there's no Weird Al, probably no that entire branch of comedy.
He went alone and beat the odds.
