Delighted to finally get Andi Hamilton on the podcast as well, as he\u2019s excellent at this business and should be heard more. I will be getting him back on soon to talk about Goemon, if plans come together, so please look forward to that. Additionally, the return of the excellent John Linneman and our very own good ol\u2019 Diamond Feit bolster the chat as you\u2019d expect, both of whom will <em>also</em> be returning soon. Hopefully. Well, Diamond certainly will, anyway. Obviously.

Gosh, there are so many episodes to do and so little time! In fact, little time is why I\u2019m writing this in a hurry.

You know, they always say \u201csqueaky bum time\u201d about stuff like this, but I\u2019ve never really looked into why that is, or what it means.
