The Baldies have returned from the podcast pit of procrastination! In this episode we have a catch up with what we've been up to and playing, share some thoughts on playing an RPG in the flesh (phwoarrr!) , discuss a tricky second hand purchase and why there may be a shortage of Giant Skittles in Steve's local shop. Steve's poltergeist also makes a brief appearance although previously having been asked to hold off joining us until October, I mean, you just can't get the ghasts these days..

The Baldies are back with a phut! In this found audio adventure join us in this episode as, (backed by the  Bilbo Saggins & The Tall Guys funk band) we went on a roadtrip to the UKGE..
