A message from the man, the myth the legend: "Greetings 'Mech Fans, Duncan Fisher here, and I find myself on Terra in a place called Kansas City, where I am supposed to be interviewed by your last word in BattleTech talk. My agent assures me there will be plenty to drink, and plenty of women to keep me company." That's right, we have the incredible George Ledoux on the show.

As if Mr. Ledoux wasn't enough, BattleTech was a smashing success at Adepticon and KerenskyCon, and we were there for every second of it! This episode is chock full of news from both conventions, including the "premature" release of the highly anticipated BattleTech Encounters game, the release of the mysterious UrbanMech LAM (which will never be canonized, but is still awesome), and a slew of newly announced BattleTech fiction coming our way.

Leaving BattleTech for a second, our news desk hits on a fan favorite segment: Animals on the loose! This time it's black bears getting into places they shouldn't and kangaroos (or 'roos as they're called down under) out for a swim!
