Behind the Shield – Episode 46 “Short Talk About Long Games”

Friday, December 23rd, 2016

Today’s episode is pretty short because we all have so much going on with the holidays.  If you like games that take all day to play (or even longer) this is a good starting point for you.

Enjoy, and happy holidays from your friends at Battleground Games and Hobbies!

Behind The Shield – Live From PAX East

Friday, April 29th, 2016

behind_the_shield_sample
 

(Originally recorded on 4/23/2016) What a weekend! Somehow Andrew and I were able to find some time with a few other guests and talk about what’s been going on this weekend from the convention. This is an unedited and “un-raw” cut. Still it was a lot of fun recording and you can hear how ridiculously tired I was. What the heck is unraw? I honestly haven’t heard the clip in it’s entirety. I got home and I just uploaded it. So if there is something terrible in it, then oops. Otherwise, enjoy the show!
