[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 3287672, member: 5265"] Yeah, I guess I'm just not Diaglo material. . . . I've been here in the UK for about 6 months now. I work at Esdevium Games, the UK's biggest game distributor, where I run the UK marketing for the gaming brands that Esdevium represents exclusively in the UK. (Which is pretty much the bulk of major hobby gaming brands.) The radio gig came about from a conversation with our PR agency, in which we were lamenting the unimaginative game-buying habits of the UK public (the mass market, not the hobby market) and wishing we could get more people to try a more diverse range of games than Monopoly and Deal or No Deal. "In the US, we have these self-proclaimed experts on toys and games who get invited onto all the talk shows to give the public advice on what to try around Christmas time," I said, "Too bad there isn't anyone like that in the UK." "Hmmm. . ." replied our PR people. And a few weeks later I was on the radio! [/QUOTE]
