I’m Andrew Finlay Stewart, and I’m the host of a new podcast called The Rules of the Show. I’ll be talking to guests about rules they like and rules they hate, from board games and sports, to legislation and regulation, laws of physics or fashion dos and don’ts. Anything from biblical Thou Shalt Nots to household rules they grew up with.
But that’s just the beginning. Every episode, my guests will introduce a new rule for the podcast. We’ll debate and discuss it, and then add it to the rules of the show, changing the podcast forever,
I predict some of these new rules will be silly and small, and some could fundamentally change the nature of the show.
But I don’t know where this is going to go any more than you do, we’ll be along for the ride together. I hope you will join me in messing around with The Rules of the Show.

Mike Lau joins us to talk about being a prop, wrapping gifts in record time, and updating the rules for professional sports leagues. Plus we get a mandate for how sorry to be, and spend some time calibrating the silly meter to get things just right.
