Which of the X-Men would be the biggest bummer of a roommate? Is King Bob-Omb's rule officially recognized by the Mushroom Kingdom or is Bob-Omb Battlefield a sovereign nation? Debate This! asks the kind of bold and heroic questions about your favorite video games and comics that no other podcast would dare ask. Although, it's probably because other people have better things to do than argue which color of Yoshi is the best color of Yoshi. In this show, no one is right, but someone is definitely wrong.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-23T06:21:06.795273+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/debate-this-66046"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 197: The Pres-TCG","slug":"ep-197-the-pres-tcg","published_at":"2026-08-25T14:42:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/debate-this-66046/ep-197-the-pres-tcg","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/debate-this-66046","url":"https://debatethis.libsyn.com/ep-197-the-pres-tcg","audio_url":"https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/debatethis/TCGs.mp3?dest-id=666941","summary":"Trading card games are so hot right now. You've got Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-OH!, Riftbound, One Piece, Lorcana, Flesh & Blood, and, like, a dozen more. The whole economy around TCGs has only been accelerated by millennial nostalgia. With 90s kids cresting into their 40s, they now have the funds to chase that foil Charizard they've always wanted. Well we're on a mission to break into that market. This week we're pitch nostalgic TCGs based on properties that have never come to cardboard. Matt is appealing to a particular type of gamer. Todd is appealing to a particular type of athlete. Kyle is appealing to himself in particular. The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!
