But how will they fare when their adventures take them deep into the heart of the Mesozoic Era? This is my half of a planned tandem podcast with Random Signal. Go check it out to see what Jason Adams does with the theme "Steampunk and Dinosaurs.? The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net.
