Hi All!

It's Brian here. I am back again writing the description to the episodes. I am not as good as Carrie, but please don't take that as a lack of quality of this episode. Richard and I had an amazing conversation with comics creator Devin Kraft where we talk, comics, space, anime, movies and more. It's a fun eclectic time that I hope you all enjoy as much as we had recording it.
