WWPD News From the Front Episode 19






"Live From... the car?"

Steven and Sean record in the car to and from the Showcase Showdown in Media PA. This episode is primarily about their experience at this tournament, and is fairly unstructured. There is a brief review of the board game Wrath of Ashardalon, though a full review will be forthcoming. Be warned: the audio quality is not up to our usual standard, and the occasional foul language was loosed upon the world.

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.

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
