Introductory Episode

Hey, thanks for coming by. My name's Charley Eastman and this is my first podcast about games. I'm going to leave this one up for as long as I can as sort of an introduction, but I probably won't start really advertising until I get another podcast up...episode one, coming soon...which means the first contest is coming soon!

Would you come by without a contest? Of course you would because that's the nice kind of person you are. You aren't like the other listeners. I value you much more than them, but don't tell, okay?

E-mail me with questions, comments, tips, recipes, free games, etc. etc. at [e-mail]. I'd also appreciate your comments right here at the site.
