  • Warhammer Gold

    Jordan is to hobby history what David Attenborough is to nature documentaries. This podcast series perfectly compliments his YouTube channels. If you have any interest in old school Warhammer, D&D or RPGs then Jordan’s content is a must.

  • The Best Miniature Hobbyist Interviewer, Period.

    Jordans interviewees are endlessly impressive, this combined with his command of this subject leads to interviews which are engaging and informative. A constant sense that you never want the conversations he’s leading to end. Wonderful stuff.
