But we thought we'd let you know about little bits and pieces going on this weekend & coming up soon.
If anyone is a fan of popular card game Magic: The Gathering, then both Bryn (Hamid, Brian Finlinson) and ...

Hey folks! It's been a quiet week at Rusty Towers, so not a lot to update you all on.
Quick reminder to everyone who is enjoying Stellar Firma - please, please continue to recommend it and/or leave a review for the show. In a crowded genre like science fiction audiodrama, something like this can easily get lost and word-of-mouth is the best way to bring in new listeners. And thank you to everyone who has been vocal about it - keep up the great work, and thanks for all you...
