Then we go back to episode 94: The Subs are joined by Murray Fox of the Doom Podtrol, the always awesome Stewart MacWilliam, aka WetRats, as well as a mystery guest.

This Week in Legion History starts off the show, where Paul learns that 950 years from now, we’ll see the first appearance of Ultra Dillinger.
