Eric Angers Podcast

This week on the podcast we delve into the growing world of board gaming, an entertainment medium that has been around for thousands of years. I thought it must be a dying format, but Aric schools me up on what is a billion dollar industry. Board gaming has done nothing but grow and I knew Aric had been involved in this world for a long time. We have a great talk about the industry and how it compares to other mediums such as video games before we get into movies and ride that out until the end. Aric founded Mozu Productions and now runs it with his partner Jamie. They promote games locally and take their own prototypes to conventions to show off, play test, and even try to sell to manufacturers out there. Listen in and see what the world of board games is all about as well as some really great analysis of Marvel, DC, and Star Wars!

Halloween is a special time of year, when those of us who really don’t care about Christmas can finally have our day. I mean, when they veil between the worlds of the living and the dead are.. yeah, some mystical something or other. It’s just a cool day where society lets us talk about and parade around the things that traditionally inspire fear. This episode of the podcast we discuss fear and subjects that instill it in us with Johnny Ace, a long time horror film fan, and open minded skeptic when it comes to all things paranormal. While we may no longer feel the same way about certain films and subjects, they still fascinate us and provide mystery in the case of the unknown. From horror flicks to ghosts and aliens, we talk about our own personal fears, experiences, and thoughts on things that frighten. Sit back and enjoy, hear an EVP that was captured right here in Arizona on a ghost hunt with Johnny. Just remember, it’s not the dark you should be afraid of. It’s what is hiding in it. Along with this episode, we are giving away a copy of the SAW collection on Blu-Ray!

Jason Roll is the latest guest on Eric Angers. He is an illustrator who turned down the chance to work at LucasArts to remain with his family and currently works for for Raytheon, a defense contractor. We can't talk about his job, but we do talk about his art. If you're an up and coming artist this is a must listen as we talk about what it takes to be an artist today, living the dream, and pursuing art as a career. If you're someone who needs art for your business or creative pursuits, you should pay attention. A good artist can help you in measurable ways, whether it's branding or world building. A little bit of a bunch of subjects and a solid discussion on Star Wars rounds out this episode of Eric Angers.

Watching a puppy that’s not house trained, quitting your job to pursue your passion, satanism, businesses getting political, and against my better judgement we get political and talk gun control! This episode features Jack Matirko of the Naked Diner podcast, the satanic blogger on Patheos.com, and a model for how to quit your job and live your dreams. It gets controversial in here but if you have an open mind and want to understand how there can possibly be satanists, this might be a good introduction. We also talk about running a business and making political statements and then I fail to heed any of my own advice and we get political by talking about gun control. I think the difference is I’m open minded and willing to have the conversation with anyone who disagrees with me. So is Jack, and while we don’t agree on everything, we can at least talk about it as civilized adults. I also decide the internet is going to destroy the world and Jack has a theory about Trump and the USFL. All that and more as our conversation twists and winds back around on itself and conservatives find out I’m too liberal and liberals find out I’m too conservative! Go team freethinkers!

We’re sitting down with a long time friend Johnny Ace. Johnny is a martial artist, photographer, musician, and cosplayer among other things. He has just as many or more projects going than I have on a weekly basis. I don’t know how he finds the time. But we’re going to find out. Because when I say martial artist, I mean he’s an instructor at one school and attends another. All while being a husband and supporting his friends in their efforts. We take the time to talk through martial arts, Connor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, Bruce Lee, bullshido and the actual benefits of traditional martial arts versus MMA and actually fighting for survival. We also talk about the Shuhari dojo’s expansion into Tucson and how you can get involved. It takes us the entire episode and we don’t even get to touch on the other topics I wanted to address, so we’ll just have to have him on again!

It's not just silly subjects, there's some real talk when we need it. Join us as we put down our screens and remember what the art of conversation is all about.
