It's been a couple of months and JP introduces a special news bulletin on what is happening on the Whose Turn Is It Anyway Podcast.

It's a good news / bad news situation, starting with the bad news we're sunsetting the Whose Turn Podcast and we want to thank all of our listeners and supporters over the past 4 years, you've been amazing. Now the good news...your board gaming podcast thirst can still be quenched as JP is launching a brand new podcast on his own called "Just Play" and it is now live.

You can find the new podcast on https://www.justplaypod.co.uk/ where Episodes 0 & 1 are there waiting for you. For the first time visually I'll be also podcasting visually on YouTube so you can find the channel right here
