The Spiel 

The Spiel’s media network is a vital part of the Foundation’s mission

The Spiel publishes podcasts and written content covering the game playing world.

Podcasts include in-depth reviews for each award winning game and also feature segments exploring and celebrating many different aspects of the game playing community.

We also record panel discussions at large game conventions with key figures in the game playing world on a wide variety of topics.

All media we produce is syndicated so readers and listeners can subscribe and receive the content automatically.

All media we produce is posted to our web sites, so anyone can listen or read.

All content we publish through our media network is free!
