Boardgames To Go

Here they come Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

The pattern continues--I don't have time to work on the podcast much during the week, and so it all piles up on the weekend. I actually recorded three new shows today. Partly that's because I'm still pretty excited about this thing, partly it's taking advantage of the time I've got (knowing it will evaporate later). I could hang onto these things and post one every few days, but I don't see much

Get 'em while you can Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

Am I posting too many shows? Can you keep up? You don't have to, of course, but I understand the desire to stay up-to-date with a website or podcast you follow. Turns out I've been uploading a little too much for me podcast host. That's no big deal--I can just lay low for about a week (the usual interval between shows that I record on the weekend anyway). Or, I can replace some of the existing

BGTG - May 30, 2005 (SR: Struggle of Empires, Alhambra, Flowerpower) Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

I had a few technical challenges with this show--hopefully none of them come through in the recording. (I did the intro on my little Treo phone/PDA thingie, then pasted it into my normal Audacity recording software. I hadn't noticed that this fiddled with my normal sampling rate, which affects some CD burners. I think I fixed it, though.) By all means, let me know if something is amiss.Note the

BGTG - May 28, 2005 (Intro to Strategy Boardgames) Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

This show may not be as interesting to listeners who have been enjoying this hobby for a while. But as I mentioned in a previous show, I think it's important that this podcast have one show intended for newcomers. Though there are at least a couple more boardgame podcasts out there, mine is still the one that pops up when someone does a podcast search specifically for boardgames (only because

Another "people's choice" award Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

I haven't talked very much about wargaming on Boardgames To Go (yet...). However, I do still play some of those, and today happens to be the final day for submitting your votes for the Charles S. Roberts awards. Though handed out at Origins (I think), the CSR awards have more dignity and credibility within the now-smaller hobby of board wargaming. Their history stretches all the way back to 1974.

BGTG - May 22, 2005 (Game Awards) Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

A theme show I'd mentioned earlier, focusing on the ideas behind game awards. I was consciously trying to avoid just making this a rundown of the various awards, trying to get a little behind the purpose and motivation for game awards. Was I successful? Partially, I think.Email Mark JohnsonLinksBrett & Board's Awards pageInternational Gamers AwardsDeutscher Spiel Preis form (and Mik's explanation

A little tweaking Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

I did a little tweaking this afternoon, discovering that I had a way to check some more usage statistics than I'd previously known. One of them I can share right here on the sight: a little graphic at the bottom of my sidebar, tracking the number of listeners(?) using my feed. At least, I think that's what it's tracking. The poll (also at sidebar) indicated over half of my listeners are not using

BGTG - May 16, 2005 (Conventions, part 2) Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

Finishing up the earlier theme show about conventions, this time covering invitational events like The Gathering of Friends and Gulf Games, then wrapping up with some of the smallest but best events, public Games Days.At the end I mention the next theme show will be about the various game awards, and I'm asking for feedback/input about that topic in particular.Links(No website for private events

It's over, but at least I've got a poll working Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

Just as I predicted, the universe returned to normal and I dropped off the Top 40 list at Podnova.com. This morning I found that the listing was based on subscriptions, I imagine ones registered through the Podnova website. Now Adam Curry and Dawn & Drew have resumed their rightful places atop the podcast world. However, I see that Geek Speak has now made the list, and that show might have the

My feet are on the ground, and I'm reaching for the stars! Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

It can't last--I know it can't--but all day I've been in the listing of Top 40 podcasts at Podnova.com. This site is primarily a new podcatching service, one that works as a web application or downloadable client . . . or both, synchronized together. They've even got an audio player built into the website, allowing you to stream shows like mine. I've got a clickable link to the right that makes
