Mike on the Mercenary Star podcast

It was my distinct pleasure to guest with Seth on the fabulous Mercenary Star podcast a couple of weeks ago: a very fun chat with a great host.

The subject? To, I hope, no-one’s surprise, the 12th Vegan Rangers.

You can listen here. (It’s also available on YouTube, but TBH I have a face for radio, so… be warned!)
