Geezaloo!  It’s been way too long since my last podcast.  Between taking two vacations, helping with Vacation Bible School, being crazy busy at work, and then all of other normal stuff that I still needed to get done, I haven’t had any time lately to write or record anything.  But finally, I was able to finish up this podcast (that I’ve recorded over 3 different sessions in the last 3 weeks) over the weekend.

So, in this podcast, I start off by running down my recently played games (there’s a bunch of them from the last month or more, including Bruges and old-school basic D&D), then get into a discussion about boardgame awards and their relevance both to us as hobbyists and to the greater public, and finish up with a review of Terra Mystica.

Listen, enjoy (hopefully), and feel free to give me feedback either here, via email (gamerchris@bellsouth.net), at my Guild on BoardGameGeek, or on Twitter (@kilroy_locke).
