Bonus: Roller Boaster
In September we took a break after ending Season One and developed Balderdash Academy's Teacher's Lounge. Before we settled on the narrative improv format we were playing around with new game ideas. Steve presented a version of his "Steve's Brain" game. This one proved too long for inclusion into the game show or Teacher's Lounge, but it was too good to let go.
Bonus: Catharsis – The January 6, 2021 Taping
We weren't sure if we would ever release this episode. It was taped on 1/06/21. We are distracted, raw, and all over the place. Our suggestions bordered from the juvenile to the bizarre. As the night progressed we got sillier and, in some cases, a little drunk. This is our catharsis. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode.
Happy Founder's Day!
Today is Founder's Day here at Balderdash Academy. Join us in our celebration by listening to our preparations while playing the games that started it all. Download our official Balderdash Academy Founder's Day Games and play on!

In this Teacher's Lounge, Coach Steve comes into an unexpected inheritance and we get to see him navigate the pitfalls of it all.
Teacher's Lounge Episode 10: The VD Dance
We're all celebrating the big VD here at the school. That's right. Valentine's Day. While the staff plan for the big dance we meet some students from Professor McGill's Adult ELA class. Get some new music in the stacks of the local record store, and then settle into Mort and Mindy's ASMR Corner and Flip Axeman's House of Heavy Metal on Balder 97.5. All this and more on Balderdash Academy Teacher's Lounge.
Teacher’s Lounge: Film Festival
In this episode of the Teacher's Lounge, we prepare for the annual Balderdash Film Festival. We listen to the BCPD on the scanner and find out that there's a report of a robbery in the village. We hear the pitches for some of the submissions and check-in with the PPP Pawnshop to look for some of the stolen items. We stop into the Balder Dash & Dine for lunch and pick up some unnamed items from Tender Vittles. And finally, we listen to Mort and Minty as they sit in for Flip Axeman on Balder 97.5 House of Heavy Metal.
Teacher’s Lounge: Artisanal
In this episode of the Teacher's Lounge, we meet back in with our pair of substitutes, listen in on the student's morning announcement show, and uncover the mysteries of Balderdash Academy. We then take a trip to Balderdash Village where we listen in to Mort and Mindy's ASMR Corner on Balder 97.5, explore the trend of Artisanal shops in town, and sit in on a meeting of the BBBC with their special guest Coach Steve.
Teacher’s Lounge Holiday Special
In today's special holiday episode of the Teacher's Lounge, we meet more of the staff of Balderdash Academy. After a meeting on the Carol of the ABCs we learn why the food in the cafeteria has the students going back for more. We listen in on the final exam for Professor McGill's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy class. We then meet the accident-prone bus driver Tedward, and go outside of the school grounds into the village of Balderdash. Then unwrap it all up by sitting in on the faculty's Secret Santa. It may not be a holiday miracle, but it sure is funny.
Teacher’s Lounge: The 30 Million Dollar Sandwich
We're back at Balderdash Academy celebrating our big win on Thanksgiving.

Special Announcement: Welcome to the Teacher’s Lounge
When we originally designed the release schedule of Balderdash Academy we did so expecting a ton of bonus content to fill the bonus week. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened; we got really good at performing the show and eliminated the glitches and side speak that generated the extra content. We fixed that.
