It Makes Me Smile

Dennis the Menace

Our guest is Boris' long-time friend Dennis, a passionate indie art director and co-owner of Tall Trall Games, who also designs and produces board games for fun. We talk about Comic Con in Vilnius, smoking habits and why you shouldn't do it, and trying to add a sad tone to the show but we fail because everything makes us smile. We also give you a glimpse into the (potential) future of this podcast. It is a lovely episode, so come, have a listen, and smile with us :) Tall Troll Games: https://talltroll.com [https://talltroll.com/] 30 to Mars: https://talltroll.com/30-to-mars-the-board-game/ [https://talltroll.com/30-to-mars-the-board-game/] Petrichor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor] Comic Con in Vilnius: https://ccbaltics.com [https://ccbaltics.com/] Lunar Base: https://lunarbasegame.com [https://lunarbasegame.com/]

From South Africa with Love

In this episode we talk to Rodney, our good friend, and former boss, who loves his home country, South Africa. You will also learn of our choices for a new home country, plus after a long hiatus Tool gets a short mention as well. It is a lovely episode, from lovely people to lovely people. Have a listen, it will make you smile :)

Future in the Past

Going back in time with Steve Roman (from San Francisco, California!), and some beautiful, but rare wild beasts of Estonia also say hello to the dear listener. An episode you don’t want to miss!

Better Call Jana

The return of the show with season two, no video (we tried but failed..., maybe next time), awesome guest with a lot of love for ceramics, and last but not least why is Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad?

Lamb & Road Rage

Spring and happiness, road rage and mpani worms, inventions of the past and the future, and we also almost (but not quite) solved the climate crisis. An episode full of laughter and annoying eating sounds. Excellent show, just excellent!
