A Conversation with David Hayter (Early Access)

On this week's episode of Metal Gear Mondays... we talk to David Hayter himself.

We did it, you guys. Somehow... we actually did the thing. This is a really special one. 

Renton City Retro 2019 - MGM on the Scene (Early Access)

Metal Gear Mondays attended its first ever convention this year—Renton City Retro out in Renton, WA. After Cam Clarke extended a very courteous invitation, we ordered our tickets, booked our flights, and prepared for the weekend of a lifetime. Won't you come join us?

Note

This episode uses the most amount of audio source devices we've ever had on an episode. The sources are of varying quality, as we had no clue we'd be conducting so many interviews. Please be kind and understanding—we did the best that we could in post, but we'll gear up properly for our next event episode, funds willing.

All the best!

In Search of a New Way to Close Out the Show

Hey, guys.

Per OUTER-OP #2, the cast of the show is curious about something: the outro. Do we keep it, do we cut it, do you hate it, do you love it? We want to know.

After 100+ episodes it's becoming a little bit of a bore, but if we must truck, we shall. What would you prefer?

WE NEED YOUR RESPONSE TO MGSV!

The time for listener responses to MGSV is nearly upon us.

I know that we typically give you guys a deadline of the 15th of every month, but for this month the deadline will be 7:00PM Central Standard Time on May the 14th.

We're looking for your thoughts, comments, questions, observations, or general musings to either MGSV, Ground Zeroes, our recent slew of interviews, or any other Metal Gear topic.

Thanks!
Alessio
