Hark, the herald angels bellow, "Telenet and Valis is go!"
You can tell it truly is a season of miracles, because we somehow managed — about five years after the fact! — to pull Shane Bettenhausen (and Christian Nutt) into the studio so they could gush about the Valis series for more than an hour. Bob and I are almost ghostlike presences this week, but somehow I don't think anyone's going to complain. This will probably be the first episode I've hosted in years that no one will complain about, because it's a work of sincere enthusiasm by two passionate fans, tackles a niche series in exhaustive detail, and above all has the authenticity of a first-person account.
We are committed to making full Retronauts episodes a biweekly (that is, fortnightly) endeavor, but we've made an exception this week as a seasonal gift to everyone who's supported us over these past couple of years while we fly solo, free of the succour (and funding) of corporate interests. This episode could never have come to pass without your help. You are cool.
You can read more about this episode at USgamer, but you can listen or download here. If you like.
Yes. It actually happened.
The next few episodes will be Micros while we take it relatively easy over the holiday break (and wrangle our schedule back into proper order), but we'll be working on finishing up the last of our Kickstarter obligations while we're away. And when we get back, we can all sort out what everyone wants for their first round of Patreon awards. Materialism!

And of course, the usual begging for iTunes reviews goes here. We're never going to be the most popular show on iTunes, but they can't get rid of us that easily.
