Episode 38 erupts on the scene with an undeniable banger of an episode - we have in interview with Spring McparlinJones, AKA the Chair of the IWGB trade union's Game Workers branch! We ask what the UK's game union is up to, the shenanigans at Rockstar North and Build A Rocket Boy, and of course an update on ZA/UM, the UK's first ever unionised game developer. It was a privilege to talk to the vanguard of the video game industry - and you're sure to feel the honour vicariously too!
Meanwhile, Ed and Sofie are forced to endure Alex's old man opinions about Starfox. Listen to him age in realtime over the episode!
Games next week - and we promise you'll like this one!
