Structured differently to our regular episodes, this one is just about the newly released title from Bethesda Softworks - Starfield! We also have a special guest joining us in this episode - a massive science fiction nerd and a background mostly in tech and IT, it's CJ's mum Dani Welsh!

In this episode we dive deep into what Starfield is, what it's about, how it works behind the scenes, and what the size and scale of it means both for what it is as a piece of science-fiction media, and for the larger games industry and market.

Hope you enjoy!
