I am sad to to say that due to some unforseen and sudden events in my real life, Podhammer is on indefinate hiatus.
I would like to graciously thank the many people who have enjoyed and supported the show over the past year and a half. The show has been a source of great enjoyment for me and the others involved. I walk away proud of my acheivements and the knowledge that I was one of the trailblazers in Wargaming podcasts.
One the best things that this podcast has done has brought more people to the game aswell as tournaments. In Australia in particular we have seen increase in tournament attendance increase dramatically over the last 2 years. Many factors have contributed to this however I would like to think what we have done has been a major factor.
I would especially like to thank my guests, advertisers and Inner Circle members. Without your support the show would not exist.
The website and existing episodes and files will continue to be available as normal and this will not change.
I hope the things going on in my life can be resolved quickly and the show can continue however I would be being overly optimistic to expect this to happen quickly. So please be patient and once again thanks very much
..
Regards

noooooooooooooooooo!
So sorry to hear this Jeff, your show was one of my main inspirations for starting my own show and I have remained a huge fan of yours throughout. I completely understand how hard it can be to keep up with the demands or RL fighting with the needs of the show.
I wish you all the best in all things and will keep looking forward to seeing podhammer come roaring back to dominate the Hobby Podcasting scene once again.
Long Live Podhammer!!
Here’s hoping that all your problems are resolved. this has been a great podcast to listen to, and I hope that before long you can carry it on again, as It’s been great to listen to for the past 4-5 months. Thanks once aggain jeff.
I hope everyone including yourself are ok Jeff. Thanks for all the good times and hope to hear you on my ipod in the future. Most importantly though I hope whatever is going on doesn’t get you too much mate.
*sigh* I hope that whatever is happening in your life is ok and that you can get back to podcasting soon. Sorry to see you go
Just like to echo all of the above,I hope life gets back onto an even keel and that you and your family are okay.I would Just like to say a big thank you and the guys for puting in all of the hard work which made your podcasts such a laugh to listen to.All the best for the future.
Jeff,
I only recently found podhammer having steered away from anything apple related, alas the GF got me an ipod so i felt compelled to find some really great pod casts. Yours stands head and shoulders above the rest, funny, insightful and a pleasure to listen to. Many times the GF would ask me what I was laughing at. I have to say it was the chemistry that you and your mates conveyed across the airwaves that made the show a favourite of mine.
I hope whatever things you have going on are fixable, and if ever you need picking up just remember the faceless many who have enjoyed your hard work and take pride in it. Thank you for providing me with many hours of entertainment and enjoyment.
To all the co-hosts who were every part as important thank you also.
Good Luck with the tourneys,
Dan P
You sir, single handedly got me back into Fantasy. I have enjoyed many many hours of listening to your podcast. Even though I am an American I find your sense of humor and your advice to be spot on. My little brother still replays the Druchii cast over and over since starting his Dark Elves and I will be revisiting the other Podcast until you either return or I stop playing. Sorry to hear that your going to be gone. Best of luck.
i keep coming back to the site hoping for a new podcast about the lizardmen. i think im in denial, come back podhammer!!
From Jeffs dad, Thank you for all your kind words in support of my son. He will get through his problems and I hope he will be back to the show sooner rather than later.
He is a great kid and I am very proud of him.
John
Hang in there, Jeff. We know that you can work through this, and remember that we’re ready to give you whatever support you need. We’re Your +3 rank bonus!
Long Live Podhammer
Jeff, your show is one of the primary reasons I am as interested in the wargaming hobby as I am and podhammer will always hold a special place in my heart. Best wishes and hope to see you back.
cheers!
It’s a shame to hear that you are not doing anymore shows!
Podhammer was the reason i started the UK Masters, Rankings and Baddice podcast.
I hope you get back at it as soon as possible.
Ben.
April Fool? Please?
Well, thanks Jeff, for all your hard work over the last year or two.
Fare well, wherever you fare.
And give Swearing Dave a big sloppy kiss from me please!
Cheers.
[...] Podhammer fails “Look out, Sir!” roll By matt This was announced a few days ago, but I only just heard about it. Podhammer is going on indefinate hiatus. [...]
Dear Jeff,
May I express my genuine regret for the ceasing of podhammer at this present time. I wish you and your family all the best in your current situation, remember what Churchill said; ‘if you are going through hell…..keep going’. Thanks for all the laughs, insights and genuine enthusiasm you pumped into the hobby of my little brother, my friends and most of all myself. I look forward in hope for the day your back on the air ‘talking sh*t’ about this game of our. Best of Luck to you and everyone involved in Podhammer, may you always roll well!
Right now i’m off to arrange my vampire’s and necromancer is circle and cast every invocation they know to resurrect podhammer as fast as possible! Nagash ain’t seen nothing!
You may not quit. I forbid it.
I have spoken.
Hi Jeff,
Even though I don’t play fantasy (I play 40k) I enjoyed listening to your podcast. I made the days I spent on my summer job (cutting steel) go by so much faster. I hope that you will have many happy days ahead of you. Thanks for all the enjoyable shows- CVP
Thanks for all the effort you’ve put in to the show Jeff. Hope you’ll come back to do more shows, but more importantly get your problems solved as painlessly as possible.
Regards,
Andreas
Really sad to see you go Jeff, and hope to hear from you again soon.
Hope to see you back in the near future man, swearing Dave is funny as fuck.
If you don’t record anymore anymore shows we’ll only be left with bad-dice and thats gash.
Hi Jeff
Sorry to hear about the real life issues, believe me I know that sometimes taking a break from everything and pushing the reset button does a world of good.
Heres to looking forward to your triumphant return.
Apostle Gillus
Thats what happens when you use Podhammer dice for saves in real life. What can I say that hasn’t been said. Someone get Matt and Dave a mic, even heroin addicts get methadone.
In all seriousness my thoughts are with you.
Cheers, Tim
Jeff,
When i first heard about the show i remember sending you an email with questions about my army lists, and was surprised to find a reply the next day. After about 5 replies, i then felt a little bit of myself in the show when i listened. And you guys definitely have the best audio quality!!!
Thanks,
Andrew
P.S. Whatever this disturbance is in your life i hope it is resolved in the most positive manner, not only so the show can go back on air, but also because we need to keep as many gamers out there as we can!!!
Hey Jeff, thanks for the great show and I hope things get better for you. Yours was the first podcast I regularly started listening to and it started a massive snowball of closet nerd fun (haha, I’m on the bus, in public, and nobody knows my hideous secret!). Good luck in the future
Like sigmar jeff will return to his people when he is ready. With so many other pod casts out there this was the first and the best.
Get back on the dragon jeff… You know you want to…
And what will happen when palms plays high elves?
Will fairy’s orcs be finally exposed as a VC army painted green.
No one else can answer these questions.
You could always let Matty Cole take over the reigns in the mean time. He likes talking
Thanks for the fish mate!
Hi Jeff,
Sincere best wishes to you and all of yours… Many many thanks for the hours of Warhammer & general geekage pleasure you unselfishly gave to the rest of the world. You and your mates always came across as top blokes and your decision to put real life ahead of this podcast is only further proof of your “top bloke” status.
Take care and look after yourself,
James
I just got into Podhammer and it has pulled me back into Warhammer after a 13 year break. I loved the show and want to thank you for all your hard work.
I’ve been going through the back log of the show as I try as I work on my army every night and it is a great motivator to keep working.
Good luck with whatever is ailing you and if you decide to pick up Podhammer again know that you have one more fan.
Best of luck Jeff
Hey Jeff, sorry to hear you wont be back for a while mate. I have enjoyed your shows a lot and it has helped me get back into the hobby.
Best of luck, Luke.
Fingers crossed for April 1st. Please come back Jeff!
I haven’t checked out the site for a while, but I must say I’m deeply saddened to hear things have gone awry for you Jeff. You’ve been a fantastic leader of the wargaming community and your contributions will not be soon forgotten. I sincerely hope that things come together for you, and that you can get back to the hobby/podcast some day soon. Until then, take care and know that you’ve got a legion of fans pulling for you.
Best wishes!
-Dan
Mate, all the best. I can only imagine the time commitment of doing a podcast. Hopefully a market develops so that you and all the other WRN guys can do this professional and make a gazillion dollars – you guys all deserve it I reckon
. Anyway, hope things all work out ok, and no mater what, thanks heaps – every show was a blast. Contagious enthusiasm is a rare thing and you guys nailed it.
All the best mate,
James.
Good luck mate, i too am from Newcastle and it isnt good to hear another Novocastrian in trouble.
Good luck again mate.
