BGTG 61 - Aug 2, 2006 - Friendly, Local Game Stores: Whew! Finally a new show.

BGTG 49 - Jan 21, 2006 - Five & Dime Lists (with Mark JACKson): Though it's happening less often nowadays, in the past people have confused Mark Jackson and myself. Though that's mostly due to the similarity in our names, we have some similar tastes in games (e.g. original Entdecker), we've crossed paths a few times, by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 47 - Jan. 8, 2006 - Behind the Scenes at BGTG: This is more or less an update of the "intro to podcasting" show I did way back in May, 2005.

BGTG 51 - Feb.13, 2006 - SR: Jenseits von Theben, Vegas Showdown, Bolide, Zahltag, and Feedback: This episode became my white whale.

BGTG 60 - June 14, 2006 David Arnott Leftovers about Medici, Elasund (and Hacienda): During the All About Vinci show, my guest Dave Arnott thought to bring up something we'd failed to cover during our previous All About show, covering Medici almost a year ago.

BGTG 50 - Jan 24, 2006 - A Look Back at Essen (with Mike Siggins): My fiftieth podcast! Wow, I really wasn't sure I'd ever make it this far when I started last March.

BGTG 55 - April 4, 2006 - "Dark Johnson" Interview (with David Arnott): Dave Arnott sprung this show on me, turning the tables on the interviewer. His plan was to expose me for the sinister, heartless gamer that I really am. Of course, the plan backfired and I come out smelling like a rose. :)No, he just asks some fun questio by Boardgames To Go

BGTG 57 - April 30, 2006 - Ordering Overseas: Here's a shorter show that I've wanted to do for a while, talking about how I've ordered games from overseas.

BGTG 45 - Dec. 2, 2005 - My days with Steve Jackson Games: The last in the series of BGG.con-related shows, this one's only connection is the fact that I first tried to record it on the way to BGG.con . . . and the fact that it features Texas (Austin, this time).
