7 down, 6 to go! I hope you enjoy our first foray into video coverage at conventions. I'll post the others as quickly as I can get them ready, plus some bonus segments which don't appear on the audio program.

Really enjoying it so far - and very impressed with the video stuff so far, nice to put visuals to your goodselves - and you are both doing a good job.  I await the blooper reel :p

PS Remind me to remember to stop the first video before playing a second - or await the Spiel mashup tape

- Off to find out where I put my copy of Junta

Glad you're enjoying the coverage so far! Most of the bloopers are a little too off-color for public consumption, but rest assured there are plenty.

We're learning as we go, which means there's plenty of room for improvement, but at least we're starting out with a good foundation.

We'll leave the mash-up tape for you to construct. I shudder to think what silliness can be foisted on us! :)
