Hello

Well I got the first episode done and I hope the sound is a bit better this time. The quality has been upped at the expense of a larger file size.

This episode covers the various events and news items that have happened up to the first 2 weeks of Feb. I also talk about the board game series Carcassonne. I have also added some music and I have my first advert as well (care of Yog Radio). So sit back and enjoy!

Loads of links you may find useful:

Victrix 28mm Plastic Napoleonic
Wings of War

The music is a sample from the MP3 album Unama by Unama, Tracks 1 and 5 available from Jamendo.

Hello

Welcome to my first ever post.

I hope to bring you news and thoughts on gaming from a UK perspective.

My first download will be episode 0, a test podcast talking about myself and what I hope to bring you each month. I will then bring you a show proper dealing with general news, what I have been up to and my comments on a selected board game.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers
Rob
