016 - My Favorite Monster

Author: Zack Bolien February 8, 2025 Duration: 30:43
The Tabletop Rambles are back, whether you wanted them or not! We're talking new events, the Monster Manual, Fantastic Four trailer, and more!As always, thanks for listening!

For nearly a decade, The Tabletop Rambles has been a weekly gathering of voices anchored by Zack Bolien and David, a show that feels more like pulling up a chair at a lively game night than a formal podcast. While the core of the conversation often revolves around tabletop games-from the latest releases to forgotten classics-the discussion happily sprawls into community happenings, deep-cut movie reviews, and the kind of off-topic rants that only good friends can have. The vibe is unscripted and welcoming, built on the idea that the best talks happen when you follow the fun. Listeners will hear a rotating cast of guests, genuine camaraderie, and a refreshingly honest take on hobbies and pop culture. This isn't a tightly edited review show; it's a recorded ramble where the topic might be a board game one minute and a cult film the next, all held together by nearly ten years of shared history. Tune in for the games, stay for the unpredictable and companionable chatter that has defined this podcast since 2015.
