Happy Holidays, and welcome back to Legal Geek. This week, we close out 2018 with answers to where you can find the Legal Geek content, including on other podcasts this year, and then discuss another holiday gift guide in a field we cover frequently.
Throughout the year, I receive several questions on whether there's a separate podcast for Legal Geek or another source for prior segments, especially now that this segment has reached a fifth anniversary from its start in December 2013. While there is no separate podcast as of yet, you can always find the more than 150 prior installments of this segment over at Archive.org, under the user BuckeyeFitzy. I also keep a running list of my scripts at legalgeekfitz.blogspot.com, but fair warning, these are typically unedited versions of the audio you find on Archive.
I also make appearances at trade shows in the tabletop and video game industry, providing educational seminars to game designers and publishers regarding my chosen field of practice, intellectual property law. I provided seminars at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH and at GenCon in Indianapolis in 2018 and plan to attend both again in 2019. There are over 300 gaming conventions in the U.S. annually, so if you know one that needs such a speaker, let me know and I'm happy to explore new ones as we move forward.
Finally, a 2018 Legal Geek recap would be incomplete without mentioning a couple of find podcasts that brought me on to guest for full shows. As usual, I appeared on The Geek All Stars with Dan the board game man this year, specifically in Episode 166 entitled SDJ, Charterstone, and The Law Star Rides Again. I also appeared on Ritual Misery Podcast near the beginning of the year in episode 150. If you want a little longer form Legal Geek, check those shows out.
Before wrapping 2018, I also wanted to provide a second gift giving guide I enjoyed for this holiday season, following up on the privacy law-themed one from 2 weeks ago. This one is just a great overall guide to the best tabletop board games, an article entitled Ars Technica's Ultimate Board Game Buyer's Guide. If you're looking for a last minute gift and can get yourself to a local game store or Amazon prime, these lists will provide good ideas for gamers of all experience levels.
2018 was a notable year on multiple fronts, including a contentious Supreme Court replacement and multiple landmark cases at that court, including one opening the door for sports betting in all 50 states and another striking a blow at partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts. We also had plenty of fun legal stories to cover, including the romance novelist who trademarked Cocky, and the surprising legal problems raised by the electric scooter invasion into many major cities.
The Bottom Line is, the legal and nerd worlds keep generating interesting content and lessons to learn, and I will continue to provide insights into these fields in 2019. Thank you for listening to this segment and supporting it with your suggestions, and also to Scott and Tom for making this a part of Current Geek for the last 5 years.
