Here's a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how we plan out each and every delicious episode of The Podcastle. As you can see, I spend my time making sensible suggestions and sticking to the point, while Wardrox is intent on messing about and making jokes.

At the end of the convo, you will get to see that WE WANT SOMETHING FROM YOU! We want your suggestions as to your favorite games to come out of Europe, so we can formulate a list before the next show. You'll get to see exactly what games we're talking about before the show even "airs," plus -- ONE MYSTERY GAME IN THE NUMBER ONE SLOT! Oh FUCK me, what fucking MYSTERY! SHIT! Swearing is great. ARSE!
