Summary
Look, I’m really sorry that I sat on the podcast intro music but what am I supposed to do, check every seat for audio files before I sit down? I know it’s a bit crushed and quiet, but if we give it enough love and care then it’ll spring back soon enough, I’m sure - and I can always do my own version of the music for the time being… Oh the podcast is meant to be out… today? I’ll see what I can do…
This podcast may contain traces of trains - perhaps more than a trace, even, as Matt and Quinns discuss both Russian Railroads and 1889: History of Shikoku Railways in the space of just one hour. I know, it’s all getting a bit exciting. Squashed between those discussions like a fun filling in a games sandwich, Tom yammers on about Calico, Pax Pamir 2e and Watergate; games that somehow all contain the same levels of tension and despair in spite of their wildly differing themes.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

| 0:34.5 | On the other hand, I have just locked myself in my office. |
| 0:37.9 | What? |
| 0:38.6 | Well, I mean, it happened about an hour ago while we were setting up to record the podcast, |
| 0:42.3 | but I close the door because obviously don't want... |
| 0:45.1 | Oh, and your door handles in your flat, I'm insane. |
| 0:48.3 | Yeah, and I went to close the door, and then the door handle came off in my hand. |
| 0:54.9 | So that brings an entirely new meaning to self-isolation. |
| 1:00.4 | But just, just, you guys don't know about this, but just before we started recording, |
| 1:03.7 | I was banging on the wall of my office trying to wake up my wife so she could let me out. |
| 1:07.9 | Oh, wow. |
| 1:09.5 | And that this, yeah, this now brings some new context to me |
| 1:12.3 | saying to you whilst I was trying to set up some of the audio stuff, Quins, just go take five, |
| 1:16.3 | you know, just go grab a coffee or something. I hope you enjoy taking five, um, just on the |
| 1:22.7 | other side of the room, I guess, just turning your chair around. Without wanting to share too much information, |
| 1:29.3 | I use those five minutes to determine what receptacles I could pee into should things get worse. |
