Here's some festive fun to kick-off your twelve days of Christmas. On the first day of Christmas, my favorite* podcast gave to me... Four games, five friends, and presents for thee.
Matt, Audra, Jason, Jenn and Chris gather around the fireplace for a festive game night, just like the ones you had growing up. Except it's weird, and with fandom themes. Have a Merry Everything, Everyone! We'll be back in two weeks with STATLeapers.
*or at least Top 5 according to Spotify Wrapped!

Matt Watson is a comedy writer and podcaster. But you may also know them as the Gamesmaster.
Matt shares his early childhood obsessions, and how they shaped who they are. Matt tells a story about getting screwed-over by a carny at Legoland, as well as giving cringe-inducing presentations about the TV show Lost. Maybe this will explain Matt, maybe it won't, but it's a lovely conversation either way.

We leap back into the world of reality TV, via a gameshow that looks back at the highs and lows of reality TV in 2024. "This is a fun one y'all" - Is the kind of out of context line from one of our players I would put in a hype package.
Our players this episode are four close friends - Jenn Ragain, Ash Wood, Taylor Logan and our resident team captain, Audra Stephenson. Can #GateTok survive this!?

A very special bonus episode for you while we're away on vacation! Back in March, Audra and Matt joined Aaron, Stevie and Augie of BFYTW - For a series of games and challenges about Game Shows... So meta!
Aaron hosted a Gateleapers style episode, that is a homage (not parody!) to what we do here at Gateleapers. Aaron was a fantastic gamesmaster, but Matt wasn't quite so good at being a player... Something something power dynamics.
This was such a fun time, with some of our favorite people we've met through podcasting, and we hope you have as much fun listening as we did playing.
We'll be back in two weeks with a brand new gameshow. Remember to put September 21st @ 6pm EST in your calendar for our first livestreamed episode. See you there Leapfrogs!
