  • Table Topics – Sibling Rivalries

    Table Topics – Sibling Rivalries
    Jun 24 2025
    Kalee and her sister Cortlyn reminisce - or confess - about their experience gaming together as siblings and the sibling rivalries that formed. They cover stories of siblings at odds or in communion against others. It’s an interesting thing to balance when different ages and dynamics are involved, and especially when you know this person is your main partner to ‘play with’ for the foreseeable.

Host Kalee Holdren retrieves stories from Reddit to share, with a rotation of guests who react and give feedback. Episodes look at specific scenarios, relationships, or types of games, and present advice and empathy to the posters or other characters in the chosen stories. Occasionally there’s a harsher rebuke - but all in the pursuit of better times with friends and better gaming. And honestly, sometimes you must speak truth when someone asks - AITA? Listeners will be guided across the ups and downs of games, deserved victories and crushing defeats, outbursts that may be or may not be about the game in question. The hosts approach the situations presented with humor and honesty, and invite listeners to send in stories they find, submit their own, or participate in the discussion on our social media and Discord.
