Join us next time on Roguelike Radio as we hopefully finally finally publish our Angband dev team interview! And there's more coming in the pipeline! And if you have ideas for new episodes then drop a comment below...
Always look forward to RogueLikeRadio episodes... but yeah if it is possible to equalize the file at all so it's all at a decent audio level it would make listening easier. I'm maxing out the volume on the headphone jack on my laptop and I'm missing some words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for continuing to make these episodes. It's my favorite podcast to listen to, somehow manages to be both a relaxing break from real life and thought provoking at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWaiting impatiently for every episode (Hopefully won't have to wait SO LONG for next one). Glad that you still continue.
