March 12, 2016 01:57 - 1 hour - 118 MBWe're honestly amazed that we made it to this point. Back in late 2011, when we took our first, shaky steps into podcasting, we would never have believed that more than four years later we would still be going strong. Hitting the 200 episode mark means that PlayStation Blogcast is officially serious business. We could never have reached this point without you, so: Thank you! Today’s episode is suitably momentous, with three very special guests. So… let’s listen in.

I'm sure he's fine.

Tharsin'? Tharsisin'? Enjoy!
