Well howdy hey howdy there! Welcome to another episode of the Play Greater Podcast!!!
Listen as one of your hosts Christopher and two of your hosts Paul accurately assess that there are three types of show notes–the first type being what you’re reading right now, the second type being the printed lister letters you hear read on the show, and the third type being an E natural.
Check below for links and/or info mentioned in episode:
Lo, the note in question was indeed an E natural. But if you want, we could call it an F flat so that it feels like one of your hosts Christopher was closer to being right with his guess!
IS Compile available?! It’s scheduled to arrive VERY close to the release of this episode! Check back next week and it SHOULD be here! Sign up for the newsletter to get alerted as soon as it goes live!

We recorded another podcast! Holy smokes, folks, and welcome back to the Play Greater Podcast! Can you taste the Gen Con in the air?! We sure can, and we cannot wait to sink our teeth into a slice of proverbial Gen Con pie.
Listen as one of your hosts Christopher and at least two of your hosts Paul tear through introductory banter and news with wild abandon reaching a potpourri of podcastian postage and their popular pinwheel of prompts.

- Link License to Grill crowdfunding page? Boom! Right here.
- Link Penny Arcade License to Grill VOD? This time here.
- Link to that Torchbearer song they’re talking about? Play the video on this kickstarter page.
(Oh hey there, you know that direct message Christopher references then says he’ll bring up later? He never brings it up later, and it bothers these show notes too.)
Awesome sea shanties Paul likes and also sings on a semi-frequent basis: Northwest Passage, Old Maui, Wellerman (yes, like the kids are singing these days, but he was a hipster about it before it was cool on TikTok), Santiana, Bully in the Alley, All for my Grog.
According to this peer reviewed wikipedia article, the AMX-10’s classification as a tank technically has been disputed... would you like to know more? (read in the TV propaganda voice from Starship Troopers)
