Welcome to The Rest is Giant Robots, episode 54.

I'm Simon Furman.

And I'm Andrew Wildman.

Welcome, welcome, everyone.

We are going to be talking today.

Yeah.

There, well, there's the story Cold Comfort and Joy, which is actually Andy Wildman's first-

Yes

... uh, first artwork on, on the UK comic.

This week, I went looking through the schedule of TF Nation in the UK, which is a Transformers convention, because I didn't get to go, and I wanted to go, and I just wondered what kind of things they do there.

And looking through that, I just happened to see that there was a live podcast recording of Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman's podcast, which is called The Rest is Giant Robots.

And they do a podcast together about having worked on Transformers and what that was like.

It was the perfect thing for me to find because there are lots of things I want to know.

Lots of things behind the scenes that I want to question Simon Furman about.

And so it was really interesting to find this and find out that actually I might get answers to some of those questions.

I had never heard either of their voices before, and I'll be honest, Andrew Wildman is not somebody I recognize quite yet.

But it was so nice to hear Simon Furman's voice, especially after reading In the National Interest, parts one and two, which I just really, really enjoyed.

It would draw me in.

And I want to use that nine kind of as a theme for a theory that I'm having concerning Andrew Wildman.

So put a pin in that.

We pass it over to Pat.
