On this episode of the podcast, I chat with Dr. Steve O'Rourke, who is a professor of psychology at Westchester Community College.  We talked at length about how he arrived at the school, how he implements games in the classroom, and what it's like to build community through gaming.  This was a really easy conversation and I could tell quickly that Steve was a kindred spirit, as we had much in common.

Episode #12:  Wargamer, NYPD Sketch-Artist, Iraq Veteran, and Owner of Battle Tribe!  A "What Has This Guy Not Done" Conversation with my Friend Matt Rendar

The 20 Sided Gamified Podcast is hosted by Jared Fishman, whose professional career includes a nearly 20+ year tenure teaching history in independent schools, and positions on the board of two game based organizations- HMGS Next Gen, Inc, and the North American Simulations and Games Association. This podcast is meant to be a place for conversations with interesting folks within the world of tabletop, roleplaying, and board gaming communities.  This includes game developers, rules authors, and other luminaries in the field.  In particular, we're always looking for connections and crossover between games and education, with a specific emphasis on why it is that even the most innocuous games can be a valuable tool for learning and growth.
