Today on my pilot episode, I invite Joel on to discuss Hannibal, the 2 player wargame set during the Second Punic War. This should be a fun discussion, as Joel has limited exposure to wargames and seems intent on avoiding them. I'll be curious to hear his thoughts. We also share what's interested us lately and I wrap up by revealing my song of the week because I believe great music should be shared. I'm your host, Nick Northcutt. Enjoy the show!
