Hey, great podcast. I have just recently started listening to podcasts (just last week in fact.) It's actually quite a nice break from listening to the same songs over and over again as I've been doing for years as I work.
So I'm interested in sending some feedback on specific games as you've requested, but I'm a bit unclear on some things. For example, in #53 you as for some feedback on Evo, which I'd love to provide, but I'm not sure if that entry is WAY old, and perhaps you're not asking for feedback anymore on that, or what. It appears that you just recently posted it... but on the other hand it's #53, while your most recent one is #136.
Can you help me understand the episode numbers vs the dates posted - and which truly represents the chronological order in which they were recorded?

Can you clarify which version of Golden Compass is Shelly's favorite? On BGG there are at least three different Golden Compass games. Thanks.

Here's the link to the Golden Compass game that we really enjoy:

Hope you like it if you get a chance to play it.
