Yeah, I had sent over an interview for the OOTP guys and ended up talking to him some more. I have a personal interest in his work and everything he's done and thought it would be great if he came on. Lucky for us he agreed :)

I have to admit I'm bemused to see this.  Never knew I had a fan club.   :)

Of course, I'm thrilled to see this reaction. I had a great time chatting with Jon and Frank and hope I can stop by again.

Little bit of fandom, sure, but also, "I can't believe they got someone I've actually heard of on the podcast!" :-)

Well this is weird. As I write this I suddenly remembered that you (Brad) commissioned an article from IMG for Apple's game page, an intro to online gaming, that I ended up writing (and rewriting, and rewriting.) Pretty sure that was you; slightly more sure that it was me.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing the interview soon.

Agreed. Brad was an interesting and pleasant guest. I pity the poor loser who has to follow him.

I have full faith that our next guest will be just as interesting and pleasant!
