Thanks for listening.  Michael Briers was also all up in Jump Festa and Bandai Namco’s grill, and conducted a ton of interviews, so check those out too.

Next week, Nell will rejoin the show and we’ll kick 2016 off with some Fallout 4 or Final Fantasy VII Remake podcasts. Both are coming, not sure in what order they’ll be on the site here. Fallout kinda seems more the “in” thing right now, so probably that.
 
Anyway, thanks for helping us get off the ground with this new podcast in 2015. We hope next year is even better.

Cheers!
