With Vinny off roaming the earth, our friend Will Smith stops by for a quick ramble, and swaps some stories with Alex about working in game dev communications, regales us about the magical Safeway/drive-in movie theater combo, sells us on Star Trek animated series new and old, ponders the necessity of punching a Gorn, and more.
NOTE: The production process was a little different than usual this week; please let us know of any issues with the .mp3, especially the chapters!
