About this listen

 On the Check Mates podcast, Nick & Daniel take characters from TV shows, movies & video games or the athletes and musicians they grew up idolizing and position them all on a chess board. Every week, Daniel & Nick pick their sides and logic through kings, queens, bishops, knights, pawns and rooks. They discuss (and often viciously argue) their choices, let their nerd flag fly and test the limits of their friendship. It’s the Check Mates podcast! Check it out.© 2022

    [EXTREME SEAN CONNERY VOICE] Thish week on the Check Mates podcast, you'll think Christmas came twice, as Daniel & Nick present their picks for an all-Bond (James Bond) episode. On side 1, it's every actor who played the titular MI6 agent, plus the very best of the Bond Girls facing off against Bond's rogues gallery on the other side. Shake (and not stir) your podcast listening this week because the Sky(fall)'s the limit. Check it out!

    1st Person vs 3rd Person Shooters
    Sep 16 2022

    It's a gamer bonanza this week as Nick & Daniel pit First Person shooters like Doom, Halflife and Bioshock against Third Person shooters like Grand Theft Auto, Gears of War and Tomb Raider. Duke Nukem figures in there somehow but be warned: it gets weird. This is an extra long episode. Believe us - IT'S WORTH IT.
