Welcome back to the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast with our usual Xmas Special with the Brews in the Binyard Boys, Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain McDonald from Flags of War. In what is now tradition I butcher a Xmas song at the start of the show so get ready for a version of Fairy Tale of New York which you have never heard before ! The show ended up being 4 hours long, but lets face it, you've got plenty of spare time over Xmas, stick some earbuds in and pretend to be asleep after a festive meal. We tackle weighty subjects like, what the f.... is Trench Crusade about, why historians can't make their minds up (again), Crisp Butties, the demise of Twitter, Warlord Games French Lancer horse legs and most importantly which is the best Fish and Chip Shop in Skipton. Whether you digest it in a oner or in several more digestible parts, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it. I hope to be back in the new year with the regular mix of guests, until then have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year and may all your Pike Blocks be massive ! Until Next Time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer  

As lower Michigan braces for the first significant snowfall of the seasons, we're reprising a Talking Michigan Transportation episode from when the department launched a program to name snow plows. This episode features a conversation with Iain McDonald of Transport Scotland, about their program to name the plows, or “gritters” as they call them. Later, MDOT's Nick Schirripa joined the conversation to talk about some of the creative names people submitted for plows here.

Iain McDonald concluded our series ‘The Most Excellent Way' looking at the future resurrection and the final victory of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15). He ended with this poignant quote from C.T. Studd: ‘Only one life, twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last.'

Its that time of year again where the gang meet up in our terrace bin yard to chew the fat on the hobby in general. Today I'm joined by regular guests Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain McDonald from Flags of War, we have a quick catch up whilst Alex saves up the money for his internet connection before he tells us how he became the "face" of Warlord Games. Its then time for the panel to ratify the recent entries into Wargames Room 101 before moving on to draw Rounds 1 and 2 of the World Cup of Historical Wargames Miniature Manufacturers and yes the Perrys are in it ! We then finish of with the usual #askournora listeners questions where we discuss weighty topics like which pizza topping we would be. Hope you enjoy, as always with these shows they are not for the faint hearted and best listened to in a darkened cellar with soundproofing. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Continuing our series, ‘The Most Excellent Way', Iain McDonald spoke from 1 Corinthians 6. He revealed how the church in Corinth had lost their perspective and made things that were not God into ‘gods'. He encouraged us not to do the same.

Its back, the Podcast within a Podcast, our traditional (well 3rd episode) of the Brews in the Binyard Xmas Special. After being serious this year with special episodes on Paintbrushes and Papal Zouaves its time to let our hair down with a festive blow out. Sadly our usual hombre Sean Clark wasn't available this year so the wonderful Iain McDonald of Flags of War has stepped in, so Sean's Mexican corner is now Iains Jacobite Corner. As usual the episode has a Parental Guidance Sticker as Alex can't stop swearing (as usual), I am of course as clean as a church mouse ! Sadly the recording of the track for Alex in part 1 didn't record so I have edited it together as best as I can, I couldn't leave out the Mistletoe and Wine bit. Then Part 2 sees us review the recent entries into Wargames room 101 before moving onto a hot topic chat about how History is represented on the big screen. I then have my own Perry Miniatures related rant ! Finally its your questions and me and Alex actual get serious on our Complexity vs Playablity Session for a least 5 minutes. Hope you all have a great Xmas and New Year. Its been a great 2023 for the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast and I want to thank everyone who has listened in. I hope to be back in the New Year with many more. Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

We continued our series ‘Ego Eimi', the ‘I am' statements made by Jesus. Iain McDonald spoke on 'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.' After setting the context, he unpacked the significance of each of these words and what they mean for us today.

We're hoping that the Star Trek superfans don't need or want detailed episode recaps, and nor do people who don't like Star Trek, because we've got none of 'em for you today, folks. Plus, be warned, our guest this week is definitely a fan of Star Trek, but definitely not a fan of Star Trek Picard.

This episode we are back to the usual interview format and my guest is Iain McDonald who runs the company Flags of War. Just like it says on the tin Iain supplies a huge range of 28mm flags from right across the span of history to wargamers throughout the world. If that wasn't enough on top of a full time job and a family Iain has branched out into producing 28mm figures. Starting with figures covering the Gangs of New York inspired by the Warriors movie. He has moved on to cover the Jacobite Rebellions and has one of the most complete ranges available for that period.  Iain produces figures for periods he loves himself and that clearly shows, he has ranges of War of the Austrian Succession and The Border Reivers in the pipeline. But as with all my guests we don't just talk shop, we cover Iains wargames history, cover the Venn Diagram of Wargaming and of course have a bit of Big Game Chat. The Quiz breaks down into a discussion about Fish and Chips whilst we get another successful entry into Wargames Room 101. Iain was a great guest and its always great to hear from enthusiastic people who run smaller companies for the love of the hobby.  Flags of War can be found at, Flags of War Thanks for listening and if you haven't already please subscribe to the Podcast (it's free) it helps to increase the profile of the show to a wider audience. I hope to be speaking with my old friend, Historian, Author, Battlefield Guide and Wargamer Stephen Barker in the next Episode. Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Have you heard the names:For Your Ice Only?Gangsta Granny Gritter?Gritallica?Gritty Gritty Bang Bang?Ice Buster? These are not the names of films or rock bands. These are monikers for Gritters, which is what our friends in Scotland call snowplows. On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation, recorded Jan. 26, Iain McDonald joins the conversation from Perth, Scotland. McDonald works with ice 24/7/365, at Transport Scotland by day and, when off duty, as a producer of gin at The Perth Distillery Co. Transport Scotland's initiative to name the snow fleet generated worldwide attention, especially on Twitter. McDonald explains that the idea to name the vehicles came from frequent questions about when there would be a snowstorm and people would say, “We never see a gritter on the road.” So, the “Trunk Road Gritter Tracker" was born. Naming the plows makes it easy for people to follow their location and progress and make decisions about what roads are clear and salted before embarking on a journey. McDonald talks about how his team prepares for snow events, especially the all-hands-on-deck Beast from the East.  The popularity of labeling the plows in Scotland inspired others, including the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). In the second segment, MDOT's Nick Schirripa and Courtney Bates join the podcast to talk about the launch here. Bates tells us that as of late January members of the public have submitted nearly 12,000 ideas for plow names. As a website administrator working to keep the Mi Drive site up to date, she sees the naming initiative as a way to highlight all the features, including tracking the plows but also viewing real-time information about crashes, road work or other slowdowns, as well as camera images. Schirripa tells Fox 2 in Detroit that Plowy McPlowface and Sir Saltsalot were among the top nominations here. He also emphasizes there are not only educational and safety benefits from the project, but this also pays tribute to the people who brave the storms and clear the roads day and night.

Iain McDonald is a guy who Brad recently met and instantly wanted on the podcast. Not only is his energy calming and empathetic, but he also is very clearly hungry for knowledge and connection in a way that's contagious. He’s an actor and photographer, but as you’ll hear in the show, he is above all a curious guy, unafraid of questioning the reality we live in. I wade into the deep end with him about spirituality, metaphysics, technology, and the importance of asking “why”.

Volvemos al ataque. En este episodio nos acompañan Alexander Páez (de Donde Acaba el Infinito, The Spoiler Club, Neo Nostromo y El Peso del Aire) y Armando Saldaña (de Postcards from the Edge).Ilustración de The Builders, de Daniel PolanskyNos ha salido un capítulo extenso. El resumen de contenidos lo podéis encontrar a continuación:Hemos hablado de las nominaciones a los premios Hugo, a los Locus, a los Arthur C. Clarke y a los Ignotus.Desde el otro lado del charco se ha expresado alguna queja por la progresiva pérdida de importancia de la ciencia ficción frente a la fantasía en los premios Hugo.Hemos valorado el impacto de la campaña de los Sad Puppies (el nuevo Gran Hermano) en las diferentes categorías del Hugo.Leticia Lara ha defendido Binti, de Nnedi Okorafor, porque alguien tenía que hacerlo y ella tiene buen corazón.Miquel dice que no hay para tanto con The Builders, de Daniel Polansky, pero mola un montón.Por primera vez, Alexander dice que no se le haga caso a Miquel. Elías dice lo mismo, pero no es la primera vez.Los VerdHugos descubren un complot anglofóbico en los Hugo y lo relacionan con la falta de nominación (en los Hugo y en otros premios) del Luna: New Moon de Iain McDonald.Se ha producido una discusión sobre My Little Pony y otras series del mismo calibre.Alexánder Páez da una sorpresa (eso cree él) sobre sus gustos literarios (o falta de ellos).Se produce cierto debate en torno al potencial aburrimiento o no de Ex Machina, al margen de su interés. Miquel tiene razón.Nos enteramos de que en Chez Combarro la nueva generación está a la espera del Episodio VIII de Star Wars, como debe ser.Se produce un panegírico nostálgico sobre Supernatural y sus buenas temporadas.Descubrimos que olvidarse una temporada de la fantasía épica es como pasarse al vegeterianismo o a la leche sin lactosa: de golpe te sientes feliz y te sobra la energía.Hay una discusión interesante sobre las diferencias de espíritu en las nominaciones de los Hugo y las los de los Arthur C. Clarke.¡Felicitamos a Aliette de Bodard por su segundo tiento a la maternidad!Se plantean dudas sobre si la buena de las trilogías, en general, es la primera, la segunda o la tercera.A raíz de la nominación de Ken Liu en la categoría de Primera Novela de los Locus con su “The Grace of Kings” discutimos la necesidad (o lo contrario) de que exista ese premio.Tambien se plantea si es correcto que en categorías como “mejor antología” o “mejor colección de relatos” deberían entrar libros estilo “The best of” o solo libros con relatos originales.Descubrimos que los turcos son aficionados a la ciencia ficción.Resulta que a pesar de cierta controversia, la selección de finalistas a mejor novela del Ignotus, y a varias otras categorías, es bastante interesante y representativa.Los VerdHugos defienden la importancia de que sea “El Ministerio del Tiempo” quien se lleve el Ignotus a mejor producción audiovisual y no sniffnuestro podcastsniff.Recomendaciones literariasMiquel CodonyThe Fifth Season, de NK JemisinLa polilla en la casa del humo, de Guillem LópezAlexander PaezSharp Ends, de Joe AbercrombieLas visiones, de Edmundo Paz SoldánLeticia LaraRelojes de hueso, de David MitchellHouse of Suns, de Alastair ReynoldsJM OriolLovecraft Country, de Matt RuffThe People in the Trees, de Hanya YanagiharaArmando Saldaña(Cómic) The New Frontier, de Darwin CookeDark Orbit, de Carolyn Ives GilmanElías CombarroProyecto Marte, de LJ Salart(1/2 recomendación) Too Like the Lightning, de Ada PalmerPodéis descargar el episodio desde archive.org y, en cuanto se propaguen los feeds, también desde iTunes e iVoox.
