My Life In Miniatures

In this episode, it's just me, your host, John, and I'm going to be waffling on about my year in the hobby, some news, plans for 2024, and just general thoughts and further waffle. This is a bit of an experiment - I've never done a solo pod before - so let me know what you think of it. Find me on Instagram at my_life_in_miniatures and tell me if you think it works, or not. I thought this could be a yearly thing, but if you hate the sound of me gabbling on about the hobby on my own for almost an hour, maybe I won't. Let's find out!

In this week's episode, I'm talking to Emma Svensson who you can find on both Instagram and Youtube (and you should follow her on both if you don't already). We talk about technicoloured dreadnoughts, oodles of orks, massive dragons and much more besides. Enjoy!

And in this bumper episode, I run through what it was like to do season 2 in the outro.

On this week's My Life in Miniatures podcast, I'm talking to Em, who you may know as Electriceve on Twitch, Twitter and Instagram about the miniatures that have meant the most to her throughout her hobby and career painting minis.
