Pie Factory Podcast

Sean and Jim break from the usual Pie Factory Podcast format to chat face-to-face (perfect for an audio podcast) with Brian Colin, designer of Rampage, Arch Rivals, Xenophobe, and many other games too numerous to mention to fit in the iTunes description. And yet more discussion of the pronunciation of Galaga.
