The Geek On Radio Podcast! - Board games, RPGs, co

Hello,   Swinging by to test that all systems are still functional and that we're still reaching all locations! Stand by for more (full) podcast goodness in the next few weeks! We'll be back!

We're BACK! Kinda. Mike B from Who Dares Rolls & Nate from #BoardGameHour bullied Millie back in front of the microphone for a rather distracted podcast. There's some talk of Essen including 504 and Pandemic Legacy, and we talk about THE game to play at Halloween. With no show notes to guide us it's The Rambling Podcast of Awesome!

Have I mentioned that I'm taking launching a Kickstarter for Dice & Donuts recently? No? Really? have you had no internet connection? Well, it seems you wait ages for one and then a plethora of UK games cafes show up! I got to chat to Lee from Dice Portsmouth, and Mike B from the Who Dares Rolls podcast popped along to make sure we didn't get to off topic. Check out Dice Portsmouth > http://kck.st/1VmuE3p Go vist Mike & the Who Dares Rolls crew > www.whodaresrolls.com AND COME BACK DICE & DONUTS > http://kck.st/1CZuitm Thanks!

We've finally published another pod!   Admittedly a little behind schedule, here's the latest Geek On Radio, Millie talks Kickstarter & the beginings of publishing your games with Bev & Gino from Tinkerbot Games! If you're quick (and the short notice is our fault, sorry) you can get your face in their game Ghostel! Details in this podcast, but the email you'll need is face@tinkerbotgames.com , you've got until Friday 10th July!

An alternative view of the UK Games Expo... I volunteered this year, and had an awesome time.

Play Test UK, who ran the play test area in Monarch Suite. Imagination Gaming who ran the Family Zone.   Sorry to any of the other volunteers who I got names wrong, by Monrach's Beard I was tired!
