In this episode, Brenda talks about using videogames and board games to teach kids about history. Then she talks about how crazy it is that hardly any of us–including pro game developers!–knows anything about the people who actually made our favorite games. Thankfully, there’s always Matt Chat!

Warning: I’ve done my best to censor out the adult language in this episode, but my apologies if any managed to slip through.
