Using GMT's new Ventrilo voice server (with permission), Jon, Paul, and Martin discuss GMT West and the benefits of online and convention gaming vs. face to face.

Paul interviews Ed Beach, designer of show favorite Here I Stand and many others.  Topics covered include some great info on gaming with family members at the WBC, and the much anticipated followup to Here I Stand, Virgin Queen.

Paul and Martin discuss the state of the podcast, the lost episode, and GMT's generous offer to unemployed gamers (including a short interview with Tony Curtis).  Jon makes another guest contribution, Paul relates another famous quotation to wargaming, and Martin continues his segments on the history behind CDG events.

Programming note: The audio quality seems to be continuing to improve, but Martin was a little under the weather while recording and sounds pretty scratchy.
