press RPGs from 2006.

Fred talks all about the TV show and tackles and defuses the "nerdfury" over changes from the books with the help of the man himself, Jim Butcher. Some other TV show chatter slips in here and there, and the show gets rounded out with a quick plug for some games that Fred has worked on in 2006. Roll tape!
