Combat Phase

Kenny is in Sweden, and Robert is rocking the controls...er...sort of.  In Episode 112 we discuss a bit of news, Kenny's travels and then Kenny has a great interview with Rob Sanders about his recent Black Library releases.  Robert apologies for the slightly choppy edits - he's been able to make Kenny do all of them until now.
