While the next episode of “Barrel Roll! - A Video Game Podcast” (scheduled to go up Tuesday, the 16th) is being editing now, we are already prepping for next weeks show. This episode will feature special guests Kyle Stevens and Jim Demonakos from Kirby Krackle. If you have any questions for the guys, please post them here or email us at podcast@wingdamage.com.
