    The Redcast returns with my first interview of Season 4, this time chatting to the wonderful Rich Keeble - star of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight, Rivals, Good Omens, Marathon and much more.

This is due to the surfacing of behaviour on social media on Frazer's part demonstrating transphobia, homophobia and more. I do not, not does anyone else in that series, endorse his behaviour and I find it necessary to remind you that this channel remains a safe space for people of all genders, races, sexualities and everything beyond.
