By exploring the connections between board games and other mediums, Intertextual Experience is looking to tap into some links that may not have been considered much previously. Through interesting guests, audience feedback, and general revision, there is an experiential element of this channel to grow and change in unique ways. By keeping the door open to various forms of entertainment, the myriad of possibilities and combinations to consider and discuss is limitless. In addition to always trying to create cleverly constructed episodes and questions for the guests, another goal is to continually answer the question \"why this podcast?\" Those ideas serve as the pulse of this show, and I'm excited to keep trying to answer (and then re-answer) that question.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-03T20:21:50.167780+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intertextual-experience-a-board-game-podcast-6581735"},"episode":{"title":"#37 - Josh Wood: Let's Go?

Despite my chaotic whims as a tour guide, Josh had some say in the destination choices, “drafting” between one of two locations for our third through sixth stops—with those selections discarding a different set of prepared questions. Fortunately for you, the third member of this trip, you were in for a treat no matter what locations/questions were selected, as Josh’s attention to detail, place, movement, stories, art, and experience leave you with a fantastic episode (and awesome games; go check out Josh’s games). Josh’s: BGG Page Instagram Bluesky Let’s Go! To Japan Designer Diary #1 …. and #2 Pre-timestamp/chapter notes note: As the structure of this a selection between locations that each have their own linked question, these notes won’t explicitly spell out “where” we’re going or what the question is explicitly, but there will be a high-level idea mentioned. The first two locations were kind of linked to some introductory thoughts, so those will be more normal. Additionally, the travel distances will be posted on the Games Mentioned in this Episode Google Doc (click if you listened, otherwise you’ll be spoiled a bit). Show Introduction and the Apostle Islands (0:00) How Josh’s background in visual effects has entered his game design mixed in with some stories behind his art/art direction.

Some of the aforementioned focus on place and theme take place here as well. [Semi-related, but I misspoke and said this was a Frank Lloyd Wright design.
