The Lorehammer Podcast
A panel of Canadian friends explains the expansive lore of Warhammer 40,000, mixing deep-dives with casual discussions on the game's history.
This is a panel discussion podcast where a group of knowledgeable friends unpack the lore of Warhammer 40,000. Episodes typically follow one of two formats: a structured, deep-dive into a specific topic like a character or faction, or a more free-form 'Edition Eras' roundtable discussing the real-world history and evolution of the tabletop game. The tone is casual and conversational, often filled with in-jokes and personal anecdotes from the hosts' decades in the hobby.
“The show's dual format of structured lore episodes and meta-discussions about the game's historical editions sets it apart. It also uniquely integrates its community by featuring live call-ins from Patreon supporters, allowing listeners to share their own hobby experiences during recordings.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The show does not follow a traditional one-on-one interview format. It is a co-hosted panel discussion. When the hosts take live calls from listeners, they integrate the caller directly into their ongoing, casual conversation. They ask questions about the caller's personal history with the hobby to make them a temporary member of the panel, rather than treating them as a formal interview subject.
Led by primary host Mark, the show features a rotating panel of co-hosts in long-form conversations that often exceed two hours. A recurring opening bit is the 'health and wellness check' for casual banter. The hosts frequently promote their Patreon, which offers ad-free episodes and access to the live recordings.
