Episode 031 - Down the Rabbid Hole
<p><strong>Somebody call for an exterminator? </strong>Once upon a time, colourful cartoon mascots were the video game industry’s lingua franca, and yet only one has a history as colourful as Ubisoft’s very own pal in purple - Rayman!

Episode 030 - The Mobile Invasion of Earth (ft. @PodtorWhocast)
<p><strong>Feels different this time… </strong>Freshly bi-generated and ready for Round 2, those fine folks from Podtor Whocast RETURN to restore the deeply cursed timeline of modern Doctor Who games. After a catch-up with Michel over yet more Fallout London talk (Atomfall who?), it’s right back into action on a conversation that’s as much about Who as it is a lamentation on the state of mobile gaming in general. And tangents? Oh, we got ‘em.

Episode 029 - Puppetry in the Space Age
<p><strong>Thunderbirds are GO! </strong>It’s all hands on deck and action stations in a series of tales so tall that not even the Mole could get to the bottom of it. Prepare for launch with Sam and David, as they bash their mighty vinyl craniums together in the name of stringing up just what pulled the venerable Anderson puppets along through trials across screens big and small. Oh, and I suppose we’ll talk about some "computer games" too.
