  • It's season 4 episode 20, we had to do it.

Audra & Matt were joined by resident stoners of sister-podcast BFYTW, Stevie and Augie. As well as the executive producer himself, Adam Wood.

    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!
