Are you interested in Africa and its opportunities with railway? Summary of two blog posts titled: African Railways could go bankrupt but this is not necessarily a bad thing and It will be the best of times, it will be the worst of times: thinking about the contemporary African railway mania from 2022 by Matthew McCartney published on the Charter Cities Institute website. Matthew will be the next interviewee and this episode provides some background information on some topics we will discuss. Additionally, since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how the African continent is progressing with railways. These articles present the contemporary situation, challenges and possible benefits of railways across Africa. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Although historical evidence proves that railways are basically bad financial investments, they are important for long-term economic growth, like education, broadband internet and good governance. Railways can help long-term economic growth with making urbanisation, transportation and industrialisation easier, which later lead to paying for the railways. The economic growth driven by railways can lead to institutional change. You can find the first post through this link and the second through this. You can find the transcript through this link. What wast the most interesting part for you? What questions did arise for you? Let me know on Twitter @WTF4Cities or on the wtf4cities.com website where the shownotes are also available. I hope this was an interesting episode for you and thanks for tuning in. Music by Lesfm from Pixabay

It's full steam ahead as Mitch stokes the fires and tries to keep Episode 194 on track, which isn't easy with Def and Adrian on board as well. The lads discuss games based on other intellectual properties, the ongoing fascination of trains in boardgames, and revisiting a classic. In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Targi vs Anachrony, before we cue up the next battle: Quacks of Quedlinburg vs Too Many Bones. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials. Finally, in Swear An Oath, Mitch and Def both played more burncycle, Def also played Andean Abyss with Mitch and Conor, while Adrian still hasn't erased the errors of his butchered phoenix mini. New oaths include On Mars: Alien Invasion (Def), Pandemic: Reign of Cthulu (Mitch), and a solo playthrough of The Trancontinental (Adrian).   Sizzling Games: Dune Imperium (04:30), 1862: Railway Mania in the Eastern Counties (19:45), Rajas of the Ganges (50:55) Board Game Bracket: (1:05:40) Swear An Oath: (1:18:45)   Check out our Eventbrite page for all of our upcoming Game Days: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/board-game-bbq-32833304483   Has this episode left you with a thirst for more?

In episode 24 of the Railway Mania podcast we welcome Matt, Will and Nathan from the 563 locomotive group to talk about a special loco that's spent a good deal of time treading the boards starring in 'The Railway Children' stage play and is soon to be restored to working order on the Swanage Railway. We talk about the loco's history, how it escaped the cutter's torch, its life at the NRM and then the process of de-accessioning which means it will soon be able to turn a wheel in anger once more.

No one's going to accuse us of following the cult of the new in this one. We talk about a couple older games that have hit the tables around here while shaming ourselves about a good number of titles collecting dust on our shelves. Our whiskey's been nicely aged as well (Unfortunately, the fine salted caramel stout decided to collide with some rusted trains). So, tip your servers and enjoy the session, and please, please, please, don't spill your beer.
