Episode description

Comedian and columnist Shazia Mirza drops in for a chat this week and we have a great time hearing about her former life as science teacher, her experience of playing the Edinburgh Festival, and what her parents think about what she does...

Dave's similarly-voiced brother Simon joins us too, fresh from the Games Developer's Conference in San Francisco and reviews 2012 from a fluid renderer's point of view, while Dave finds out what the Easter Bunny has... brought? Laid?

Don't miss what's arguably the highlight of this episode: your hosts' attempts to explain Star Wars and Star Trek to each other from fragments of pieced-together memories and folklore.

We're still the only podcast that you can buy on cassette, and we're now on the third week of our month-long Audible offer. Download yourself a free audio book by clicking here. You can even donate if you think we're worth it.
