Hi there Drew, first time caller long time listener. Few questions here for you.

1) When did you get the idea for Cloth Map and for how long did you consider leaving GB to start it before you actually went ahead with it?

2) What is your plan for if you go to a country to do a video, get there, record it all, and then decide the content you got was bad? For example, any interview or tour you go on to get content just isn't very forthcoming and informative as you had hoped. You are investing a lot into each individual trip, so quality control has to be a concern for you.

3) Obviously on the go you will be doing a bit of a point and shoot setup with you handling the camera. However for anything like interview shots or shots with you speaking into the camera, will you have a dedicated cameraman/woman?

4) What was your favourite thing about each of your previous coworkers at GB? It can be a moment, a personal quality, anything really. (e: I see you since answered something similar to this so skip it if you want because the answer up there works.)

5) Did you see yourself working at GB for as long as you did when you first started working for the site full time?

6) How do you explain your new career to friends and family? I am sure when you proposed it to them some of them gave you weird looks and threw questions about it at you, especially if they already didn't understand the idea of "dude who works for videogame site." I am sure "dude who goes globetrekking to look at game related stuff to make a travel diary about it on his own" is an even more puzzling thing for them to comprehend.

You mention 7 board games you and your family play a lot. Have you ever used Table Top Simulator to play a boardgame? Past getting used to the controls it is actually really good and it has a ton of... ahem totally legit and officially licensed 'mods' in the workshop. It is a great way to try a ton of new boardgames you didn't even know existed before.

Also a boardgame I will make a suggestion for if you ever wanna play a longer game. Archipelago. It is a euro/worker placement/trading game. It take a bit to figure out, but once you know what is happening it is probably the best euro going.
