Mailbag
Via E-mail (send mail to jonathan @ wargamingrecon.com):
- Guest Joe Wetzel sent an e-mail to his Kickstarter backers about Episode 166. He said “Jonathan has a lot of passion for the project and energy–I highly recommend listening. Thanks Jonathan!”
Via Facebook:
- Stephen Wollett of Nerd Rage News is directing a tabletop gaming documentary titled “And Now a Word from a Gamer.” It is in production. He asked Jonathan to be an interviewee for the documentary. At TotalCon 2017 he’ll interview Jonathan. Should be fun to experience the process and learn how it goes. No clue if Jonathan will make the final cut or how much air time he’ll receive. You can learn more through its IMDB Listing.
Wargaming Recon is dedicated to the memory of long time listener Andrew who helped to give the show its name. I ask all listeners to join me in a moment of silence in Andrew’s honor.
