Paragons of Change

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 thirteenth Paragon in the series is the acting advocate of diversity in boardgames, Calvin Wong Tze Loon. Calvin is probably best know from his advocacy on many sensitive topics in Twitter (as Ithayla) and thus we talk about topics like unintentional racism, (cultural) representation and diversity in boardgames, colonialism, reviewing boardgames, acting, and noodles. He also discusses about his passions for writing and science fiction, which ties nicely to our Top 9 topic this time: Sci-Fi Games! 

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 48:20 and the topic is Top 9 Sci-Fi Games!

This episode is recorded 6th of February 2021.

Thank you for listening!

Paragons of Change 13. - Calvin Wong Tze Loon

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 to 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 first Paragon in the series is Richard Simpson formerly not a Wizard. But is he now a wizard? Find out what he is by listening, or should I say what they are? We planned for an hour, this became two. We don't, or he doesn't actually, stay on topic and we touch subjects ranging from Halloween to patriotism, from learning skills to Nightwatch, and from gender fluidity to work culture. Basically all over the place. 

While editing, I began to think Witzhard's goal was to see how many names he can drop. I lost my count, but you can try to find out - and maybe you are there too?

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 1:13:50 , the topic in this episode is Games We've Enjoyed During the Pandemic.

Thank you for listening!

You can find Richard and We're Not Wizards by searching the Internet or you can go here for all the relevant links:
