National Geographic photographer and conservationist Jaime Rojo has spent decades capturing the beauty and fragility of the monarch butterfly. Their epic migration is one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles, but their survival is under threat. In this episode, Jaime shares how his passion for photography and conservation led him to document the monarchs’ journey. He and host Brian Lowery discuss the deeper story behind his award-winning images, one about resilience, connection, and the urgent need to protect our natural world.

Table Talk Episode 008: The Klaus Teuber Spectacular! 54:43

54:43

It took us a while to get our meeply asses in gear, but we (Alice, Bailey, David, Taylor, and Victoria) finally managed to get together in one (virtual) place and pay tribute to Klaus Teuber, designer of CATAN (originally The Settlers of Catan ) and one of modern Eurogaming’s OG’s. After starting off with the usual “what we’ve been playing”, we share our earliest memories of CATAN and other Teuber favorites, discuss CATAN ’s role as a gateway game and whether it’s still the gateway game, whether it still stands up design-wise today, and end off by comparing our favorite CATAN variants. On the way we also talk about the following games: Ticket to Ride Hoplomachus: Victorum Dixit Kinoko CATAN Histories: Struggle For Rome Settlers of the Stone Age CATAN Histories: Settlers of America: Trails to Rails Fairy Trails Wacky Wacky West Machi Koro Space Base Read our latest musings on Tabletop games and culture at www.dailyworkerplacement.com .
