The Broken Meeple is a show based in the UK set up in August 2013 that reports on board and card games from the perspective of Luke Hector, a born-again hard-core gamer. The podcast gives my first impressions of recent board games played, discusses various gaming related subjects that are topical and recently now issues a new Top 10 list every episode chosen by you, the gamers on BoardGameGeek. The aim of the podcast is to give a fun and interesting look on the board gaming hobby whilst not being afraid of going against the hype when necessary. The podcast can also be subscribed to on ITunes.

Bit of a shorter segment today as I have to rush off to teach games at a public event not to mention I got a ton of content to get done! :D But as well as the usual updates you get to hear a mega rant about Flick of Faith, my giddy schoolgirl excitement for the Ark Nova expansion Aquarius with more details released and then my discussion on climatic endings in Euro Games. . . . linked to an anxiety attack moment where a simple counter argument revealed yet another issue with the industry.
