This episode of the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast goes "Ey Up and away" to the USA where I speak with my guest Martyn Kelly. He returned to the hobby a few years ago after a long break and he is definitely making up for it.

I talk to Martyn about his own hobby history and where he sees himself on the Venn Diagram of Wargaming, we have a general chat on Big Gaming in general before moving onto the features section where we do the Quiz, Wargames Room 101 and Desert Island Wargame.

Then its onto the Big Topic, Big Gaming in the USA. We chat about how Conventions work in the US and what a paying customer gets for their bucks before moving onto the games themselves.

Martyn has put on some absolute belters at the shows over the years and we discuss in depth the hard work and processes that go into putting on a game for a group of strangers at a US show. Really enjoyed this episode, after a 6 week break its good to be back on the air.
