Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! Stephen is out this week, having chosen a normal life over obsession with the Red Comet, and pmc is your host! Filling in for a GRFM co-host again, Coop Bicknell returns and we are also joined by the excellent Maddy! Equal parts analysis and speculation, we hope you enjoy this week's conversation around Ep. 4 Witch's War!
