Board Game BBQ HISTORY
The Board Game BBQ Podcast is Australia’s premier tabletop podcast and the organisers of Play Con. The podcast was founded in 2020 by a group of Australian friends who shared a love for board games and a desire to create a platform for discussing the latest games and industry trends.
The podcast quickly gained traction within the gaming community, thanks to the hosts’ entertaining banter, their passion for the hobby, and their engaging personalities. Each episode of the show features in-depth discussions and reviews of the latest board games, as well as interviews with designers and industry insiders.

They have also collaborated with other podcasts and content creators in the gaming community, demonstrating their commitment to building strong connections within the industry.
