Wargaming Podcasts

There are more miniature wargaming podcasts than I have time to listen to! Here's a list of ones I'm currently subscribed to. There's a wide variety here and I'm sure you can find something interesting in them.

Any podcast that hasn't published in the last year, I've left off this list. Otherwise, if I've missed any interesting ones, let me know!

The links I've used are a bit all over the place, but you should be able to find these in any podcast app.


20 Sided Gamified Podcast

"The 20 Sided Gamified Podcast is hosted by Jared Fishman, whose professional career includes a nearly 20+ year tenure teaching history in independent schools, and positions on the board of two game based organizations- HMGS Next Gen, Inc, and the North American Simulations and Games Association. This podcast is meant to be a place for conversations with interesting folks within the world of tabletop, roleplaying, and board gaming communities. This includes game developers, rules authors, and other luminaries in the field. In particular, we're always looking for connections and crossover between games and education, with a specific emphasis on why it is that even the most innocuous games can be a valuable tool for learning and growth."

No 10 figures a side on a 3ft square table here old chap. All scales, all periods, so long as its BIG.

You know what they say ”Go Big or Go Home” We, my friends have gone Big !

Each episode will look at a different aspect of the Big Wargame and do a little bit to bring them back into fashion. Is it a coincidence that Warlord games bring an Epic scale box set out just after this podcast went to air ! I don’t think so, so get on board the Big Game Train and let’s ride it down a 30 foot table."

Long episode, fairly irreverent, but generally interesting...
