avatario ,

IMHO the best miniature painting podcast

Dave has a golden tone and sophisticated vocabulary, extremely knowledgeable and has a talent for communicating his ideas in a digestible way. Great advice most of the time but not infallible, when he makes a mistake he goes out of his way to correct himself, which is refreshing. I wish there were most podcasts that are this educational style rather than conversational style like trapped in plastic and others. Dave actually teaches you rather than just chatting about the topic.

Raulitos ,

Awesome podcast

Very clear friendly explanations. I highly enjoy it.
