for the delay (matching sound levels was a bit difficult this time
around).

Our guests this week our Mr. Colin Dwan, project manager for Fallen
Earth over at Icarus Studios as well as our good friends JMO (who now
admits he is actually Jeremy) from mmovoices and their podcast as well
as Tipa from West Karana. Mr. Dwan catches us all up with how the
release went for Fallen Earth and what it was like to release a major
mmo from an indie developer.  The JMO, Tipa, Fran and Julie run talk
about the issues of the day, including a few "rants" from the West
Karana website.

As Emma shares with us during the interview, we pray that there will never be another war like WWII.  As you will hear throughout the interview, Emma herself is a bit of living history.
 
Notes to the interview:
 
Among the many famous people that Emma met, one of them that she refers to is Queen Mary. The Queen Mary that she is referring to here is Mary of Teck, the Queen consort to King George V, Queen Mother of George VI, who was king of England during World War II.
 
She also speaks of Margaret and Elizabeth. These are, of course, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon,  and her sister who is now Queen Elizabeth II of England.  Both Margaret and Elizabeth remained in England during World War II, despite pressure from the British government to evacuate to Canada.
 
The âAnthony Edenâ she refers to is Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon, who was the British Foreign Secretary between 1935 and 1955, including World War II.  Anthony Eden later went on to become Prime Minister of England between 1955 and 1957.
 
During the interview she refers to âDoodlebugsâ â this was a common nick name for the V1 jet propelled bombs that Germany Launched at Britain during World War II.
