The description above for this podcast is missing the interview section. Just sayin'...
Still hating on Heroes, huh? Can you put all the Heroes hate at the end so I can skip over it
. Just because you and all your friends don't like it doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of people that still like and want to to know what's going on. The fact that NBC is considering bringing it back next year must mean that they are happy with it's performance. Anyway, I'm done.
Will - Yes we are and no we won't.
Where is the Dr Who stuff you talked about in this episode. Can't find it anywhere!
Listened to this today for the 2nd time; caught it live, well sorta live, XM sounds live.
Ever think of following up on the Casual Game thing. Yes, I said 'thing'. Just wondering....
