link link The latest episode sees me celebrating the Silver Jubilee for the Podcast, 25 episodes and counting ! The top link will take you to the blog post the second direct to the Podcast. My guest is one of my oldest Wargaming friends and the picture above is from the mid 1980s and we are setting up a 15mm refight of Leipzig. Stephen has "grown up" to be a Historian, Author and Battlefield Guide, after a long break he returned to Wargaming last year so we have plenty to talk about. Hope you enjoy it. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

I always look forward to and enjoy your podcasts Ken. However, I have to wait weeks before it is on UTube. Is there way they can be uploaded to UTube much earlier? All the best to you.

Cheers Iron Duke, firstly thanks for listening. The Podcast comes out first on Audio (Podbean, Apple etc) first as I have to pay personally for that service so I try and maximise that first. Putting them on Utubes is very much an afterthought and other than sticking a few appropriate photos in the background it's not much of a visual spectacle lol. In addition I'm not keen on the adverts on Utubes and my long form format of around 2hrs per show tends to get hidden by the Utubes so unless you watch the Yarkshire Gamer channel already they can be hard to find. I'd not really thought about it but the change from 2 episodes a month to 1 and occasionally 2 means a longer delay for a Utubes release (it goes on Utubes when the new episode comes out). I suppose I could release on Utubes in-between audio episodes so there would be a two week delay rather than 4 weeks. Would that make a difference and just to help me understand why do you watch on Utubes rather than listen to the audio ?, same question to anyone who does it that way. Many thanks Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Thanks for your response Ken. I pay monthly fee for no commercial interruptions (Premium), which is worth every penny. Re hard to find on UTube; I select it as a favorite and everything that you produce is listed in groups by podcasts, monthly report etc. It is very easy to find almost anything that you have produced.
