Rolling Dice and Taking Names is a podcast where two seasoned tabletop gamers have discussions about board games, RPGs, and miniatures that are entertaining and informative to casual gamers and experienced hobbyists alike. The level of conversation would be similar to friends sitting around the kitchen table playing the latest game, discussing their likes and dislikes of a style of game, or just trying to make sense of the latest gaming news. In addition, special guests add their gaming knowledge to help the hosts sound more credible. Family friendly, informative and always striving to be entertaining.

Marty and Tony are great hosts and long time friends that do an amazing job with their board game podcast.
I like how they mix on board game adjacent topics like lawncare and southern cooking as well. Taste buds is also a great segment to break up the board game talk and banter. I’ve discovered new snacks and drinks galore from listening including grape pop-tarts and all kinds of soda flavors.
Always look forward to each episode. Thanks “gentleman”.

This is a must listen to board game podcast for any modern board game enthusiast. And actually I really enjoy the non-board gaming discussions quite a bit. Marty & Tony are always engaging and I look forward to every episode even though I don’t play the kinds of games that they play. Thumbs up, way up!

While they don't take themselves too seriously, Tony and Marty are serious about what they like and don't like when it comes to boardgames, and are obviously great friends, to boot. The Five-Minute Initiatives and Flying Squirrels segments are great for getting a quick sense of a game, while the Scurry Report and longer reviews provide for a more detailed look at gameplay and strategies. Diversions about food and lawn mowers notwithstanding, trequent industry guests demonstrate the true reach of this pair within the boardgame community. Their Squirrelly Awards show is an annual reminder of that, as well as a hilarious celebration of their self-deprecating humor.

If you’re looking for a Boardgame podcast, look no further than here. Marty and Tony are great fun to listen to. They discuss all kinds of board games ( and occasional food, lawnmowers snd music). Once, when I asked my daughter what Boardgame podcast she wanted to listen to on the way to school, she said “The one about the diapers”. Seriously, I look forward to every episode.
