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":"#46 - Amabel Holland: Episode of Six Video Essays","slug":"46-amabel-holland-episode-of-six-video-essays","published_at":"2026-07-24T09:55:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intertextual-experience-a-board-game-podcast-6581735/46-amabel-holland-episode-of-six-video-essays","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intertextual-experience-a-board-game-podcast-6581735","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/intertextualcardboardexperience/3017741","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/225115/3017741/intertextualcardboardexperience/2026_07_24_02_11_14_db313907-8dfb-4dc8-ae37-ac2f7c40b05e.mp3","summary":"Back like it never left, Intertextual Experience welcomes Amabel Holland—designer, video essayist, author, and co-owner of Hollandspiele—for its forty-sixth episode. Amabel has been making my favorite board game media through her video essays, so this conversation is in conversation with those videos. While the title of the episode is “Episode of Six Video Essays,” technically only four wind up being explicitly chosen through this installment’s game. With that being said, Amabel’s nuanced responses connect to more than the selected six, weaving in various other essays (future ones as well), games, movies, and more media to explore the ways in which art can impact us, why preservation is important, and how being unique and filling different niches will push boundaries of what games can do or be even if it might not be the most commercially viable strategy. Additionally, there is discussion of immersive sims and the correct way to eat skittles, some very impressive word game play, and much more. This is not an episode to miss. Speaking of things you don’t want to miss, check out following things from Amabel: Video Essays Hollandspiele Website Patreon Bluesky Here are the documents used in this episode: the reference document (serves as the games mentioned in this episode as well) and the word game itself . In order to not spoil too much, the sections of the episode are going to not have too many extra notes. Technically, you could cross reference the show notes, episode cover image, and the reference document to figure out what’s being talked about within each section; it’s a mini-puzzle in a sense. Regardless, each section is basically just the title of each video essay.
