Mentioned in Dispatches (2018) [+]
Mar 24 2025
Mentioned in Dispatches is the podcast of the Armchair Dragoons web site and it covers tabletop and computer (and some RPG and professional) wargaming. It's an open discussion amongst 3 to 5 people most of which vary from week to week (they do two season per year, each season about 14 episodes). One topic per episode.
I reviewed this once before and didn't like it because it seemed like meandering conversation and less about actual gaming. But now I've listened to seasons 1-5 and 11-14 (the latest).
Now I appreciate it more. They've done topics like Napoleonic wargames, Science Fiction wargaming, Professional wargaming, WWII PTO, Traveller RPG, and others. Mostly interesting though the conversation still meanders a bit. I do like they sometimes include wargame designers (tabletop and computer) and professionals (who run wargames for the military and government).
The other two wargaming podcasts I subscribe to are low volume this one has become my main one.
