It's a very special episode of Swapping Joysticks as we're in the studio chatting to two incredible actors, Peter Bramhill and Colin Ryan. They have a rich history of acting, but you probably know them best as the voice actors for Thancred and Alphinaud in the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.

Join us for a chat about their experience as Dadcred and Alphie, how they reacted when they first got the job, why Peter Capaldi is so great, and a whole dose of fatherly humour, plus much more.
