Episode 68: MFCA 2026, With Special Guest Joan Biediger

About this episode

Jim and Barry discuss the MFCA Show with guest Joan Biediger, highlighting participation issues in the original category.

In this special “crossover” episode, Jim and Barry are joined by his beloved Joan, host of the fantastic podcast “Her Shrink Ray Eye,” to share their thoughts about last month’s annual MFCA Show in Trevose, PA, and, with some agitation by Jim, the dwindling or scarce participation in the “original” category (which many other open-system miniatures shows call “open”).
