YES! I love Mike Drucker, he's the best. Check out his podcast "How To Be a Person" if you haven't already. :)

Much love for his contribution to Kid Icarus: Uprising. The localization bit was neat to hear given the hubbub around it these days.

Mike Drucker? YES!

I love this man and his podcasts. Also, his guest appearances on The Comedy Button are some of my all-time favourite episodes.

Looking forward to more of your stuff on GB, Mike! Also, you really should be on TCB more often.

I'm clearly in the minority, but I detest Kid Icarus: Uprising's localization. This piece was a small test of patience to listen through.

Mike Drucker can't resist the siren call of games writing.

Kid Icarus Uprising badly needs a Wii U port. Still.

I've always liked Austin, but I don't know if he's the best interviewer. He usually seems a bit more focused on telling his own stories/thoughts than asking questions.
