The Mic Drop with Melanie Barr: Shelf of Shame or Opportunity?
7In this episode of The Mic Drop I interview Melanie Barr, the host of Mel's Board Game Room on YouTube, and co-host of The Boardgame Specialists podcast! We talk about her journey through gaming and how games helped her through some tough times. Then we debated whether those shelves of unplayed games are a Shelf of Shame or a Shelf of Opportunity.
