Every month, Avery and Drew explore what we play, how we play, and why we play. From board and video games to escape rooms, from cat cafes to fantasy football, we believe that play is powerful. It’s an opportunity to explore power dynamics, practice agency, and discover how we can change the status quo through play. Play’s fulfillment, learning, and connection is what powers us, and that’s what makes it powerful!

Heroes and villains: they are the cornerstone of epic storytelling. From Indiana Jones to Sailor Moon, and Spider-man to Ali Baba, there's countless ways to play the role of a hero.

But what happens when the lines between hero and villain blur, transform, and mix together in unpredictable ways? Join Avery and Drew as they play around with the forces of good and evil that underlie everything around us.
