This is the Play to Win Podcast from Aconyte Books. This first series of the podcast accompanies the book Everybody Wins: Four Decades of the Greatest Board Games Ever Made by James Wallis. In this episode, James wraps up a look at the last four decades of board games with guests Tim Harford, Christopher John Eggett and Holly Nielsen.

Holly Parson Nielsen’s art encompasses painting and drawing, mixing abstract elements with narrative impulses. Much of her work is created through the element of line, using mix mediums of charcoal, graphite, watercolor and or acrylic paint. As an illustrator, she has published with a variety of publications, including Covenant Communications, Hickman Music Editions, and the National Society for John Steinbeck. In 2018 she received the Moon Beam children's book Gold Medal Award. Holly has taught as adjunct faculty at Utah Valley University and is currently an instructor of record at the University of Utah. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at the East Idaho Museum of Art, the UVU Faculty Show at the Woodbury Gallery of Art, and the Heming Village Juried Exhibition. She presented a solo show at L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center in 2018, and is currently collaborating on a group exhibition titled A Sense of Place, sponsored by the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Holly is currently an MFA candidate at The University of Utah. Her thesis exhibition, Reclaiming Motherhood: I Will Not Vanish, will open May 24th at the Gittins Gallery at the University of Utah. The show focuses on resilience, reclaiming motherhood/personhood and dealing with past trauma. She uses acrylic paint and charcoal to create an atmosphere partially removed from reality through a fantastical lens, where images and motifs transition and shapeshift through a narrative journey of a central character.

For today’s Mormon Stories Podcast episode we interview Ryan Nielsen and Holly Parson Nielsen, who were both raised as devout Mormons in Rexburg, Idaho. After marriage, Ryan worked as full-time BYU-Idaho faculty for twelve years in the Department of Music, while Holly taught middle school art. Important themes for this episode include: Ryan's perfectionism and guilt/shame as a Mormon youth. Holly's closeted feminism as a Mormon youth and adult. Holly and Ryan learning to listen to their own inner voices, which also involved navigating a religious faith crisis. Navigating BYU-Idaho while one is full time faculty, and in a mixed-faith marriage. This story includes harassment from bishopric over maintaining continuing faculty endorsement (mostly related to Holly’s resignation from the Mormon church. An insider’s view of BYU-Idaho administration, including difficulties dealing with BYU-Idaho executives related to Title IX issues (e.g., sexual misconduct of Mormon ecclesiastical leaders towards BYU-Idaho students and faculty). Navigating and healing from religion-based depression, including suicidality. Deconstructing Mormon literalism and reconstructing a nuanced worldview. Learning to choose love over ideas. Additional Resources mentioned in the episodes: Ryan's AMAZING faith crisis/transition Reading/Podcast list can be found here, and has also been included below, after the video and audio links.  This is probably the most impressive and thoughtful resources list I've ever seen for Mormon/religious faith transitions. Holly's Art: https://www.artbyholly.com/abstract.html  -- This link goes straight to the art Holly has done related to her faith transition, and her reclamation of motherhood. Ryan's Music: http://www.ryannielsenmusic.com/music -- This link goes straight to the music portion of Ryan's website. Several pieces there are related to my faith transition, including "Prayer for Peace" and "Requiem." Support Ryan!  Ryan has written a 9 movement suite that explores his experience of a faith crisis, through the lens of the life of Elijah Abel.  It's time to get this recorded. Ryan has created a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the project.  Please support this worthy project!

Hit play for the podcast interview below. MGIF is also available on iTunes or with whatever podcast software you use. Just search for "Making Games Is Fun" and hit subscribe. This episode of Making Games Is Fun is with videogame journalist and historian Holly Nielsen. We talk about when Holly's interest in both videogames and history began, and how she managed to marry the two and make that into a career. We get into the history of gaming and how communities formed around games. We also look at the use of history in videogames and where games can do better moving forward. I wanted to get Holly on the podcast to show how broad a range of careers are possible in the industry; whatever your skillset or specific interest, there is most likely a place for you. Videogames are becoming broader and broader as an art form now, and we are seeing all kinds of new roles pop up. This can only be good for the games we play in the future.

YES.So, as the usual end of year show turned out to be a logistical impossibility, we knew we needed to do something different. So I fucked off to Chris Spann's house and wrote a fucking idiotic quiz, then got six people together and made them sit through it.THE TEAMS ARE:TEAM MIDNIGHT RESISTANCE (Andi and Owen)TEAM TOKU (Kate Gray and Holly Nielsen)TEAM CHAT VERY GOOD (Joe Skrebels and Sam White)Listen as they attempt to navigate the mind-shattering gauntlet that Chris and I have set for them, with nothing to gain but a vague sense of superiority because there's no fucking way I was paying up for a prize.Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for the quiz, and to Chris for helping me write it. Probably wouldn't have happened without him.SIDE-NOTE FOR REGULAR LISTENERS: This might be the last thing that we put up for a bit, as we've got some stuff to work on. All will become clear soonish, and we're not going anywhere or anything. Bear with us.HAPPY NEW YEAR. x

It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.
