    Stephen Frost (Atari 50)

    Is it cold in here? Maybe because there was no episode last week due to vacation, or maybe because this week we've got the Frostman himself, Digital Eclipse's Head of Production Stephen Frost! You might know Digital Eclipse for their in-depth collections of the Street Fighter and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, or their interactive documentary Gold Master series. We discuss all of those and everything else Stephen has tackled and learned in his 20+ years in the industry. Music from Chosen Realm!
