Welcome to Episode 71 of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast

In this show, I look back at 2010, and choose my top 5 boardgames and top 5 miniature wargames.

Well, I'm back having spent a week (remarkably) sunning myself in the wilds of Sussex (I was actually camped near to 'Battle', the site of the famous 1066 Battle of Hastings...but I never got there!)

I thought that now would be a good time to start a text blog to complement my podcast, so look out for more many more entries of the 'text' variety in the near future...

Anyway, arrived back at work to find the latest Battlelore packs: 'Goblin Skirmishers' and 'Dwarven Battalion' sat on my desk - so I'm looking forward to getting those home tonight.

I'm starting to record episode 17 of the podcast this week - it will concentrate on gaming in a fantasy setting. I'm hoping to publish it at the weekend (11th August) but that may be pushing it a bit...

Hi all,

You may have noticed that there hasn't been an episode this week - sorry about that, but I've had a week off work over Easter and I've been doing several jobs around the house and spending some time with the family prior to working away from home for 3 weeks...which should give me ample time to record some shows (what else am I going to do in a hotel of an evening?)

Easter greetings to everyone, and I'll 'speak' to you soon.

Regards,

Neil.

Unfortunately, due to some technical problems, Episode 2 of Meeples & Miniatures has been delayed for a few days.

I will be looking at publishing a new podcast early next week (w/c 12th Feb)

After reading some feedback, I think I will start producing more frequent, but shorter shows (roughly 15-20 mins length) This should cut down on my editing time and make listening to the shows easier.

Take care

Neil

Apologies for those that have been trying to download this podcast via the RSS feed - I incorrectly used an '&' in the filename of the jpg, which caused a syntax problem when trying to create the feed.

I've now corrected this, and the RSS feed now appears to be working OK - many apologies for any problems this caused...I'm still a bit new to this!

Regards

Neil
