Podcasts about miniatures

In Volume 1 of The Best of The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast, we're cracking open the vault and revisiting some of the wildest, weirdest, and most unforgettable moments from the show's history. We're talking chicken wing sauce on the cards, Catwoman miniatures, Turkey Man, the Wood Booger, anal beads, Chris playing with a pig, Steve Dice Clay, Tony's bathroom habits and night terrors, and almost getting kicked out of Origins Game Fair. It's wild, crazy, bananas, boombastic, brilliant, magnificent, monumental and meshugenah - it's The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast.

Nutrition coach Jimena Lerma joins Ambitious Addicts to talk about a long road to recovery from disordered eating and exercise addiction. Starting in her pre-teens, Lerma's relationship with her physical body was influenced by social pressure to achieve an unrealistic ideal. Internalized social pressure drove Lerma to adopt unhealthy eating and exercise patterns, which eventually harmed her health and overall wellbeing.  Lerma realized her yearning for an unattainable ideal of thinness was doing more harm than good, so she sought healing through holistic and spiritual means. Recovery came in fits and starts, but eventually stuck. Lerma eventually applied her own recovery journey and experience with practical and business knowledge to launch a coaching practice, mostly aimed at women looking to heal from disordered eating and improve their relationships with their body.  Lerma can be found on Facebook via her name or on Instagram @jimena.ler.ma She welcomes DM's with inquiries about taking the first step toward better health and wellbeing. --- This episode is a production of the Self Discovery Sisterhood.

Hark and well met, noble Cabalists! Return ye now to the dust-laden tomes and candlelit halls of the Dungeon Master's Ludus, that ancient library of wisdom and whispered lore. On this day, the Lords gather in solemn counsel to ponder a matter most sacred to all who bear the mantle of Storycrafter - the elusive spark of inspiration. Come then, and let us speak of where ideas flare bright as dragonfire bringing forth sagas of brave heroes, dark ruins, and fearsome beasts.

Earth's most powerful leader discovers that the counsel he trusted most may soon be gone—just as the stakes become irreversible. When guidance disappears, the final responsibility cannot be delegated, delayed, or avoided. Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.When you're diving into the early days of sci-fi, one name you keep bumping into — even if you don't always recognize it — is Sam Merwin Jr., who makes his debut on the podcast today. Born Samuel Kimball Merwin Jr. on April 28, 1910, in Plainfield, New Jersey, he came into the world with storytelling in his blood: his father, Samuel Merwin Sr., was an established novelist and playwright. After finishing his BA at Princeton University in 1931, he also studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, and then spent the early 1930s in journalism — reporting for the Boston Evening American and later serving as New York bureau chief for The Philadelphia Inquirer. His first published science fiction story arrived in 1939, a tale called “The Scourge Below” in Thrilling Wonder Stories. In 1940 wrote a mystery novel, Murder in Miniatures, and over the years he continued to write both mysteries and science fiction, often under his own name and occasionally under pseudonyms like Matt Lee, Jacques Jean Ferrat, Carter Sprague, and others. Like many of his peers he even wrote a few comic book stories for DC's Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space.What really makes Merwin's impact in the genre interesting isn't just the fiction he wrote, but the work he did behind the scenes. In the 1940s and early 1950s, he became a key editor at some of the era's most influential science fiction magazines — Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Story Quarterly, and Wonder Stories Annual.Our story comes near the end of his career as a science fiction author, published in Fantastic Universe in November 1955 on page 61, Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A factory worker wakes up far from Earth after a routine job triggers something no one warned him about. What he learns there forces a choice between keeping quiet—and deciding who gets to live longer back home.

In this episode of the Previously On TV Podcast, fangirl Jillian and her husband Tyler recap School Spirits Season 3, Episode 4, “The Bereftest Club”, a detention-day episode that's basically a haunted, lore-stuffed riff on The Breakfast Club (except the principal has no idea these kids would love being locked in the school).We break down everything that happens across both the living and the dead - Simon nearly gets pulled into the Hell hole (until Wally saves him), Maddie's life spirals as her mom leaves for treatment, and the “detention crew” is juggling panic, research, and cover-ups while Principal Hartman is distracted by the new superintendent Dr. Hunter-Price. Meanwhile, the ghosts uncover a hymnbook from the church in the hell hole, Mr. Martin and Quinn get high and we get a full musical dance sequence, and the episode ends with Simon getting grabbed by a creature called White Eyes.Then we get into why the vibe is full horror this season and bringing major Stephen King vibes (even the addition of Jennifer Tilly is adding to the scream queen tone). Plus the surprisingly emotional character beats: Maddie feeling isolated, Xavier stepping up, and Simon and Wally's bond deepening.And because this episode DROPS. SO. MUCH. INFO… we count down our Top 5 Lore Drops, including: Yuri's scar and how to stop resets, the “Cornerstone” stone tape theory, the church tragedy under the school, and the biggest reveal of all - The Forgotten and White Eyes.Finally, we go full conspiracy board with theories: Is White Eyes someone we know? Who exactly are The Forgotten? Is Mr. Martin's past tied to the original church tragedy? What does Dr. Hunter-Price know (and why the surveillance feels… ominous)? Plus: do objects brought into scars hint at a loophole or portal situation?Stone Tape theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Tape_theory00:00:00 Musical dance sequence00:02:30 Intro to podcast00:04:42 Recap of "The Bereftest Club"00:07:38 Review of ep 400:17:25 Top 5 Lore Drops00:17:51 Yuri's scar and preventing resets00:24:32 Nurse and Maddie's dad00:29:36 Mr. South and Stone Tape theory00:33:34 School built on church graveyard00:39:13 The Forgotten and White Eyes00:43:02 Maddie's visions and dollhouse miniatures00:46:23 Ghost minds vs bodies00:49:01 Video surveillance and Dr. Hunter-Price00:50:51 Theories and predictions00:51:01 Who is White Eyes creature?01:02:27 Who are The Forgotten?01:04:54 Dr. Hunter-Price motives01:05:55 Maddie's visions01:07:54 Tyler's Takes01:08:42 Calling it "Hell hole"01:08:59 Simon's podcast01:09:54 Wally's movie suitcase01:10:55 Simon losing watch01:12:11 Quinn is into Rhonda?01:13:08 Miniatures creepy01:13:16 Principal Mr. Hartman01:13:41 Xavier writing essaysCheck out our shot-by-shot comparison of School Spirits and Carrie (1976): https://www.instagram.com/p/DUO1IT5AVnS/School Spirits Season 3 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hx7kbgJeiEThank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

In this episode of Wargaming Recon, I reflect deeply on my journey as the host, sharing both personal milestones and pivotal life events that have influenced the creation and sustainability of this podcast. After a hiatus beginning in Fall 2025, I am back to engage with the community that has supported me through numerous challenges and joys. I take this moment to express my gratitude for Robert Dunn and Peter Bryant who stepped in during my absence, and their contributions have been invaluable to keeping the community alive. The focus of this episode is also on a significant family health crisis. In a heartfelt revelation, I share the news of my mother's battle with stage one, grade three uterine cancer. Her diagnosis was a shocking development, and I discuss how her surgical recovery has provided hope amidst the emotional turmoil. My family's experiences navigating this difficult time have instilled in me a profound appreciation for life, the power of resilience, and the incredible support from loved ones. Moreover, this episode marks a critical announcement: the coming year will be the final year for Wargaming Recon. After over two decades of episodes, I emphasize how integral this podcast has been to my identity and personal growth. It wasn't merely a hobby; it has been a community and a family that has shaped who I am today. From grieving the loss of my dear friend Adrian to celebrating the bonds fostered through gaming, this platform has allowed me to connect deeply with both friends and listeners alike. Expressing a mix of nostalgia and anticipation, I advocate for acknowledging the emotions surrounding this transition—both for me and for the community. I want listeners to celebrate the journey we've shared together, as we reflect on past episodes and the impact they've had. I also highlight the positive initiatives we've undertaken, from charity work for Extra Life to advocating for mental health discussions. It's been a platform for authenticity and vulnerability, helping many through their struggles while connecting folks from all walks of life. As I step back to prioritize my family and embrace new opportunities in gaming, including regular streaming on Twitch, I firmly state that while the podcast's conclusion is bittersweet, our community and friendships do not end with it. The relationships built here will continue to thrive, and I look forward to exploring new adventures while remaining an active part of the tabletop gaming scene. Now as we embark on this final year, the focus will be on celebrating our collective journey, sharing stories, and engaging with special guests. I encourage everyone to join me in this reflective and joyous time, as we savor the moments of connection and growth we've all experienced together through this podcast. There are still many exciting episodes ahead, and I am eager to cherish this farewell chapter with all of you.

In this episode of Wargaming Recon, Peter Bryant takes the helm and is joined by Robert Dunn as a guest host to tackle listener-submitted questions from our Facebook page while our usual host, Jonathan, is on break. We engage in vibrant discussions sparked by questions from contributors like Brian Butler, debating the merits of different dice types, particularly the classic D6 compared to the D10. The conversation shifts to miniature painting tools, where we discuss the advantages of natural versus synthetic brushes, drawing from Robert's experiences as he prepares for an upcoming skirmish game. We reminisce about fond early gaming memories and reflect on the dynamics of player interactions in tabletop settings. Additionally, we explore logistics for wargaming events and share tips for organizing and transporting miniatures effectively. As we conclude, we emphasize the communal spirit of our audience and invite ongoing input for future discussions, promising to continue exploring diverse topics in the gaming world. In this episode of Wargaming Recon, Peter Bryant step in as host alongside Robert Dunn as we navigate through listener-submitted questions gathered from our Facebook page. Jonathan, our usual host, has taken a break, and we make the most of this opportunity to engage with our audience by addressing their curiosities and thoughts about the gaming world. While the question pool isn't vast, we decide to maximize the engagement by discussing each query thoroughly. Our first round of questions comes from frequent contributor Brian Butler, whose inquiries spark lively conversations. We dive deep into the debate of dice types, favoring D6s for their iconic status and versatility, followed by a friendly rivalry between the D6 and D10. Robert shares fond memories of rolling heaps of D6s in early games, asserting the classic familiarity they bring compared to more contemporary dice. We then shift to a more hands-on topic: brushes for miniature painting. With Robert's love for wargaming and painting, we debate the merits of natural versus synthetic brushes. Through our banter, we touch upon personal experiences with painting miniatures, the differences in functionality of brush types, and the inevitable challenge of maintaining them during a creative session. As Robert prepares for an upcoming skirmish game called Moar Blood, he details the excitement of using specialized tools like dry brushes, indicating how they can streamline the painting process for repeated terrain features. Leading up to our next series of questions, Robert initiates discussions on various gaming themes and practices, segueing into a nostalgic reflection on his early gaming experiences. We reminisce about unforgettable moments, from crafting scenes for armies of miniature figures to the thrill of adventuring through beloved games like BattleTech and Car Wars. Here, Robert vividly recounts a particularly creative endeavor in his youth—transforming plastic army figures into a dramatic battle scene after a memorable shooting session. As we continue to engage with listeners' inquiries, we explore varied topics such as player dynamics in tabletop settings, the shifts in gaming popularity over the years, and modern game mechanics that reflect evolving trends in the gaming community. Our discussions touch upon the joys and frustrations of waiting for turns in multi-player games amid interactions with less experienced players, illustrating the balance of patience and enthusiasm that characterizes the gaming culture. We also address intriguing questions regarding logistics and feasibility for wargaming events, including the most effective strategies for transporting materials and miniatures. Robert shares innovative approaches to packaging and organizing gaming gear, which enhances the experience of participating in conventions and gaming sessions. As we wrap up the episode, we look forward to expanding upon these discussions in future installments. With Jonathan's return on the horizon, we encourage listeners to continue submitting their questions and topics of interest. Throughout the episode, our dialogue serves as a reminder of the vibrant community that surrounds us, rooted in shared passions and experiences in the world of wargaming. Stay tuned as we plan to delve into more unique perspectives and insights in upcoming episodes, keeping the spirit of gaming alive and accessible to all.

Jamie and Don, freshly back from PAX Unplugged 2025 in Philadelphia, have been getting into some board, card, and dice rumbles lately, and they wanted to dig into the many styles of combat systems in board games.
