That's why it may prove useful--sometimes I have small, even tiny things to say or ask that are appropriate for Twitter. Boardgamegeek now has some hooks into
A podcast listener recently posed this question about easy access to the BGTG archives. I'm a long time listener but ever since my iPod was decommissioned I've been away. Now that I've got a new one, I'm trying to catch up with previous episodes but I've hit a small snag - iTunes (or rather BGTG's feed on iTunes store) only shows the 10 most recent files [. . .] Not that this is really a
It must be just about time for a boring show with just me on the mic, but you're spared once again! This time I have fellow podcaster Eric "Boardgame Babylon" Burgess with me to talk about another of my favorites, Big City.
