The title says it all. These are the ones I listen to
Podhammer The D6 Generation This Week in Wargaming Meeples and Miniatures Point2Point What Are You Working On The Tabletop Battlefield 40k Radio The Drop Podcast Baccus Podcast Atomic Lounge Atomic Lounge All About Miniatures (no episode for ages) I am torn between Podhammer and The D6 Generation as my favourite. Does anyone know of any other wargame podcasts to listen to whilst painting? |

Got to be Meeples and Miniatures. Neil's enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious. |

Thank you 'runs with scissors' :-) BTW – Don't forget Fell Calls for all you Warmachine / Hordes / Iron Kingdoms fans Horrors! I missed one! Didn't know about The Tabletop Battlefield – will have to go and fill up my MP3 player again to catch up
Thnx Rat |

My two favorite are Meeples and D6Generation. Meeples for it's breadth and D6G for the humor. Listen to most of the others except those that are GW exclusive content. Not my area of interest. But Meeples and D6G I'm pretty religious about. I haven't heard of The Tabletop Battlefield either. Will have to track that one down. |

Meeples & Miniatures for me, too, thank you! How can you not like a show with "meeples" in the title? |

er
what gaming podcasts? I must be in the invisible minority here that tends to totally ignore podcasts of all kinds. |
Neotacha | 05 Aug 2008 7:28 a.m. PST |
No, you're not, TheMackster. I'm not even 100% sure what a podcast is. |

Good topic RoT, a couple there I did not know about. Have found that listening to game podcasts whilst working on minis tends to inspire me. Don't matter if the podcast has nothing to do with what I'm working on, just nice to hear the enthusiasm and joking about. |

I'm partial to Scott and Jason on Point2Point, but they're very heavy into boardgaming (so am I). |

Meeples and Miniatures and 40K Radio are automatically downloaded and fill my commute with interesting commentary. I have other podcasts I listen to that are science based. If it weren't for work and life I'd listen to them all. I've not tried any of the others you list but I am sure they are good for a go. I considered doing my own as a supplement to my own blog but the quality of the ones already out there is actually a barrier to entry! |

Mackster and Neo, start downloading podcast's onto your MP3 player or I-pod. There is nothing better than listening to wargamers babble on about the best hobby in the world. Especially while you paint. CorpCommander, start podcasting. I'll listen. |

Mine is Deano Ware's solo wargaming podcast--good stuff there for solo gamers! |
Neotacha | 05 Aug 2008 10:25 p.m. PST |
Rat, you're making an assumption here, involving mp3s or iPods. |
Wargamer Blue | 06 Aug 2008 1:21 a.m. PST |
Crikey Neo. Quick, to the local shops and buy an MP3 player. They are as cheap as chips. Or, you can just save a show to your computer hard drive, once downloaded click on the file and listen to it on the computer whilst you browse TMP. |

Meeples & Miniatures for me, hands down. Neil, if you're reading this – two thumbs up for a really stellar effort. And thanks for all the money that went out of my pocket, based on your recommendations. :-) I've also liked All About Miniatures when it was published. Point2Point is fun to listen to now and again. And although it's stricktly boardgame and euro-related, I'd like to mention The Dice Tower. |

Thanks for all the kind words – I really do appreciate all the positive feedback. |
Wargamer Blue | 07 Aug 2008 4:19 a.m. PST |
Neil, you have to do a guest spot on This Week in Wargaming one day. That would be a great show. |

If ever I get invited, I'll take them up on it – though I'm in doubt that it will happen. The problem is, I think, that Meeples & Miniatures is under many peoples radar for the simple reason that I don't cover 'mainstream' games. So, you will not find much about Warhammer, W40K, Warmachine, AT-43 or Flames of War on my podcast. Rather, I look at all the 'other' rulesets out there. I'm a bit of a rules nut, and so I've got a whole host of different rules for different periods. But it's horses for courses. Now that 'All About Miniatures' has ceased, I think I'm the only wargaming podcast covering historical miniatures games, for example. I try and fill a niche
hopefully I can attract more peoples' interest in future. |

Another enormous fan of M&M here, but I do find it amazing that there aren't more miniatures-related podcast out there now
