Firstly, apologies for the issues with Ronan's audio. The new set up in a new house did not work well, we will work on that. Secondly this episode has been in the editing suite for a few weeks so apologies if some things sound out of date but that leads us to the most important thing... Thirdly thank you if you stuck around for and are listening to this. We hope to be back more regularly from now on.

 

As well as our look back to 2023 we also chat about Duel for Middle-Earth, Galaxy Postman, Saltfjord, Atlantis Exodus, Kingdom Legacy, Phoenix New Horizon, Rebirth, Babylon, Bus & Stop, and Capybara Cookie Club.
