Fun Listen

Hey Ben, glad to have you back. I only discovered your feed recently and I’m really looking forward to the Micronauts, ROM and Battlestar reviews. Equally looking forward to Human Fly ending. Lol! Always worth my time to spend 30-45 minutes with you looking back at the books from my childhood.
