"In Memory". Nathan and Eric are shaken back from their slumber by the news of the sudden loss of the creator of the game, Alan Calhamer, whose passing we memorialize with an wonderful interview with Edi Birsan.

"'Being Ken's Real Ally', and Other Cautionary Tales." In this episode, Nathan and Eric respond to an avalanche of excellent emails, and then attempt to intrigue the listener with their discussion of learning the Diplomacy tendencies of those opponents you might play again and again. Brian Shelden then joins this conversation, and gives the listener his thoughts on other, more techy, matters as well.

Episode 20 is a joyous celebration of the gripping topic of stalemate lines, and how you can abuse your opponents with them. But then we cheer you up with an interview on all sorts of subjects with Diplomatic Pouch editor and Diplomacy Renaissance man Chris Babcock. Also, a couple of choice emails.
