SU&SD, Tariffs, and Sponsored Contentby SU&SD on April 24, 2025
Hello! Basically every single year I’ve worked for Shut Up & Sit Down, I’ve typed out the words: “it’s been a weird year” …and 2025 is proving to be absolutely no exception! We’ve just put out a sponsored video onto the channel, and that feels weird. I’ve taken some time, below, to chat about why.

Tom: Hey folks! We wanted to kick off the year with an update that goes over what Shut Up & Sit Down is going to be up to in 2024. This is the kind of thing we normally reserve for the newsletter, but we wanted this to be broadly accessible so that everyone’s in the ... Read more

This October in Shut Up & Sit Down!by SU&SD on October 2, 2023
Tom: October! Spooky Month! This one’s packed with TREATS! No tricks, I promise! It’s candy! Go on, bite it! BITE IT! Mmmmmmmm. Yum. Isn’t that nice? Tasty Tasty Cardboard. Videos! Let’s talk about those! We’ve got absolutely loads this month – a double bill of Emily sandwiching the second part of myself and Quinns’ Reiner ... Read more

Pod-pauseby SU&SD on September 15, 2023

This September in Shut Up & Sit Down!by Tom Brewster on September 1, 2023
Tom: September already? Summer literally collapsed in front of my very eyes here in Brighton, where the weather took a harsh left-turn into dribblesville. It’s SAD over here all of a sudden. But I’m HYPE about this month! Four gleaming-hot videobabies for you to clap your peepers on this month - a cracking vid from Emily about a tiny little eurogame, a soon-to-be-filmed vid from Matt about a much hyped eurogame, and a couple videos from me about small card games - one classic and one brand new. It’s a zero-Quinns month, but his videos are both timed releases for October, so you’ll see more of him there where we’re covering two chunky (and very good!) boxes from Dr Kniz himself. Podcasts are always a bit of an unpredictable soup based on what we have and haven’t played, but you can expect them to trickle out at their usual pace whilst we work on a few behind-the-scenes bonuses - more on that in our August and September newsletters. That’s the month! Nice and simple before we hit ‘CHUNKY OCTOBER’ and ‘BIG NOVEMBER’ which are jam-packed with some real cracking titles. What have you been up to, everybody?

This August In Shut Up & Sit Down!by Tom Brewster on August 4, 2023
Tom: AaaAA! CHAOS MONTH! I’ve been internally referring to August as ‘Big Month’ for the past few weeks but the more time I spend sort-of-planning-it-out the more I realise a better way to describe it might be ‘CHAOS MONTH’. We’ve got some videos planned! What are they, and when are they coming out? Science bears no answers. Podcasts? Oh yeah, we’ve got a few, and they’ll be near your ears… soon? Yeah, probably! Help. Please bear with us, for August is the month that we’re actually launching the studio stuff to donors at the same time as both Matt and Quinns taking time off. I’m truly laying the train track whilst it runs, Gromit-Style. Wish me luck! CHAOS MONTH!
