News from Mojo: Daniel Albu plays Loom with producer Greg Hammond
Iโm currently editing what will probably end up being my longest conversation yet.
Weโre talking in the 5-hour territory.
My longest conversation so far is my conversation with Yves Borckmans, which is 4 hours and 49 minutes long.
Will the one Iโm working on break that record?
This sounds interesting! I recently talked about LucasArts's The Dig in my own podcast and listeners know I find the final version wanting.
But it went through many phases and I'd be interested to know how it started after Steven Spielberg's initial idea went into development!
It's 11:30am (PT), February 24th!
