Things That Are Blank - Game Show

Things That are Blank is a podcast game show that takes the best elements of the Pyramid game shows and board game Taboo and combines them for a high energy compeition. Two contestants are paired up with the Oakes Media Group irregulars. On each turn a team has one player trying to get the other to say the words on a card without saying anything that will get them buzzed. At the end of 3 rounds a champion is crowned.
