EDITOR'S NOTES:
This was a nice and subdued episode- which we all needed after Cold Wars! Sorry if I sound stuffy as hell- can't kick this Spring Cold!

WWPD Live From Cold Wars '11

"LIVE from Cold Wars!"

The gang podcasts with a live studio audience, a cooler of beer, and a slew of special guests! We talk to the I-95 guys, Bill Wilcox, Bob Giglio of HMGS, Joe Krone of Battlefront Miniatures, Rifleman Harris, and the rest of the gang! This recording gets plenty rowdy, plenty ranty, and plenty silly! Steven has just a little too much to drink, and hilarity ensues- listen for the Choo Choo noises! The gang had an absolutely amazing time, and their enthusiasm for Cold Wars shows through.

NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for children, puritans, or those who hate fun.

EDITOR'S NOTES:
If my drunken rants didn't convey this already- I had an absolutely amazing time. This was our first attempt at "live" podcasting, and we hope everyone had as good of a time as we did! Lessons for next time: Bring more beer (drink less of it), keep up the awesome prize support, have fun

Steven, Luke, and Dirty Jon return after their short break, with fresh topics!

Great to be back in the saddle! I know my coverage of the Herman G. lists was light and I apologize for my lack of preparation- I blame my viscious sinus infection! Please do yourself a favor and check out those plastic T-34s by PSC. We hope to see you at cold Wars!

EDITOR'S NOTES

• Pardon our incorrect handling of tank riders- we are all soviet n00bs. Tank Riders DO count FOR motivation but do NOT count against
• As always- pardon our horrible pronunciations. That's how we roll
• Don't forget about our contest!
