It doesn't matter if you lose - what matters is that you feel like you have some involvement in the game. Good games are like conversations - you can enjoy a conversation with someone who's way more knowledgeable/smarter than you, but not one where you don't get a word in at all

The better player needs to agree to play or converse at a handicap for this to work.

I can have a fun conversation with my two year old, but it's going to be pretty limited in depth.

So no podcasts/radio-or-tv shows then?

Yes, those are a no go if you want to make conversation.
