First we have a catch-up where we give news of a few Kickstarters (sorry that a couple of them just expired in this timeshift, but there is late...

Welcome to episode 55 of The Last Standee Podcast! We start with a definite Western vibe when Audrey chats about Colt Express, an old classic "bandits-assault-the-train" game, very fast-paced and family-friendly.

Welcome to Episode 51 of The Last Standee podcast! Let's start with a disclaimer: a weird German regional school decision (in her own words) is forbidding Cara to take any work activity outside teaching at school until she's back at 100%, so we'll have to go a few episode without her - come on Cara, hurry up! This episode, an A-Team episode (not the Vietnam war veterans, but Alexis, Audrey and Ale...
