Interview: with Team Meat : Listen HERE or refresh your iTunes
Instead of our normal pokey little podcast, we actually landed an interview with Edmund Mcmillens and Tommy Refenes - the creative minds behind "Super Meat Boy". The fact that we used Skype and that the interviewing half of the team was in "Beatlesmania" mode means it was sub par on our end. However, Edmund and Tommy are pros, so they keep it quite interesting with awesome stories about working in the Netherlands and sandwiches... and we thank them greatly for that!
We will resume normal broadcasting next week.
