There’s also a small patch of show that has an unexplained warble in the audio. Sorry about that. If you didn’t notice it then don’t worry about it. I probably shouldn’t have said anything.

MWS 210: Lance Gilstrap & Kevin, Axel Alonso
Episode 210: And thus we gave birth to the MEGASODE. The magic boys flew too close to the sun on this one, and were plucked from the sky by warbly audio at the end of the second act. Curses!
First we have comedian Lance Gilstrap, then an interview with young Kevin Trumpet which doesn’t end well for Mac and David. Then Mac interviews the Editor In Chief of Marvel Comics, Axel Alonso about Marvel’s new digital initiatives and Avengers vs X-men. Food talk, cable problems, threats, kid’s news, comic book pitches – this thing is stuffed.
