This week we have a great interview with James Brady from Cloud Cap Games in Portland, Oregon. Cloud Cap is Regina’s favorite LGS (Local Game Store) and a great community-based small business. Listen to hear us discuss setting the tone for the store, getting started running a small business, and, of course, some of our favorite board games. We wrap up the show with some summer game recommendations.

Regina is a gamer, writer, teacher, and podcaster living in the Pacific Northwest. She completed her Ph.D. in 2011 from Washington State University in Vancouver and continues to teach there part time. Regina’s research interests focus on women and technology, and her dissertation discusses female gamers and identity in digital role playing games. A lifelong geek and technology enthusiast, Regina recently started a Girls Who Code club in support of their mission to close the gender gap in technology.
To continue the conversations about gender and gaming that Regina started during her research, she started a podcast called Game on Girl. Called the “NPR of game podcasts” by Chris Brown of The Married Gamers, the podcast features women involved in the game industry, and tackles some of the complicated issues in the gaming community. Season 2 began in the spring of 2018 and will premiere new episodes monthly.
