Not Bobbins
A brilliant podcast, that combines warm, light-hearted witty banter with excellent insight into games design and the nature of games playing and social interaction. The icing on the cake for me is the delight of Dirk's dulcet Lanky tones describing the what, where and how of gaming back in the day.
