Series 3 Opener : Huge Grenadier Hat Malarkey

<p>After a barren 5 month interregnum a mathematical majority of the Madaxeman Podcast crew stumble grudgingly back onto the airwaves with a near-2-hour episode to kickstart the 3rd series.</p> <p>Any semblance of order, structure and giving the impression of planning is almost instantly thrown out of the window as we immediately go off tangent in a fascinating discussion around the origin (and ending) of the  entire concept of a Grenadier, before we swerve decisively into some surprisingly well informed opinions about 3D printing, consider whether the long time coming Dire Straits revival will include a remixed Europop single called "Gaming by the Pool", have a vote to decide if the 1980's RPG "Traveller" ever really existed <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Peripheral-William-Gibson/dp/0241961009'>in our stub</a>, try to guess who won the 1936 Eurovision Song Contest, witter on about Contrast paints (again..), and then give a look back to Britcon and a heads-up to the SELWG show.</p> <p>Of course, Andy's quiz also returns from the mists of time with something equally and typically topical too, aided and abetted by its timeless theme music.</p> <p>Tamsin's 3D printer we discuss at some length is an <a href='https://amzn.to/3fCniMO'>Anycubic Kobra,</a> but I've been asked to flag up that it's not necessarily a good one for a beginner - Tamsin instead suggests the <a href='https://amzn.to/3SXUz3y'>Elegoo Neptune 3</a>, or the <a href='https://amzn.to/3fNOUyM'>Anycubic Vyper</a> if you have a bit more bench space available. For both of those she'd recommend replacing the PTFE tubing they come with with <a href='https://amzn.to/3Ma2adc'>Capricorn PTFE tubing</a> (affilate links to Amazon). </p> <p>The pictures of some of the stuff we talked about is also online here:</p> <ul><li><a href='http://wargaminggirl.blogspot.com/'>Tamsin's Blog</a></li> <li><a href='https://madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/'>The Madaxeman Blog</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p>
