In this week's ~marathon~ of an episode, Sam and Emma are joined by their VERY FIRST SPECIAL GUEST, musician and award-winning journalist Richard S. He! Recorded live in the hosts' living room, the trio discuss budding romances during alien invasions, violent video games, and Richard's tenure in an 80's tribute band. They also talk about the New Wave sensation that is A Flock of Seagulls, and their hit song I Ran (So Far Away), as covered by Hidden In Plain View.
