Summertime is almost upon us, and it’s time for the Unarchived podcast team to take a break and get away–for road trips, excursions, and outdoor recreations, be they relaxing, interminable, or perilous! In this special episode of the Unarchived podcast, each panelist recommends a game of their choosing that involves a journey, a getaway, a summer(ish) pastime, or maybe just a space, physical or mental, to chill out. Riley is off to Hawk Peak Provincial Park to take A Short Hike, Alex is getting behind the steering wheel for a somewhat grueling road trip in Eastern Europe in Jalopy, Jeremy is climbing on a speeder-bike to take a voyage of self-discovery in the desert in Sable, and Jason is visiting the charming seaside village of Fulworth in Sussex to attend The Beekeeper’s Picnic.
