For my second podcast, Price and I discussed the rhetoric of Monopoly: Cheaters Edition. This was inspired by the discussions we had in class earlier this semester. I also had just played this variation right after we had finished our previous podcast and knew that I wanted to talk about it. I talked about my … Continue reading Podcast 2 Reflection →
