It’s our hopes that if you weren’t able to join the live broadcast (or if you want to re-listen) then this (and the upcoming Saturday livestream show) will bring some cheer to your shelter-in-place regiment – whatever that may look like. On this episode, we had the distinct good fortune of getting the following to sit down in front of the mic with us at expo: *Jeremy Fleitz (where we talked a LOT of Tron pinball) *Corey Sims (of RecBar 502/812) *Daniel Pesina and his manager Luis (this conversation went almost two hours and we talked a LOT about Mortal Kombat!!) Wherever you are in the world – we thank you for listening and hope that you and your family are safe and continue to be in good health. Enjoy the show!
