This week we're trying something a little different. Generally we put our X-Phone segment into a regular episode which leads to the following:

1. A three hour episode
2. Us half awake for the last hour of said episode
3. Rob wanting to hang himself a halfway through editing the episode

So we've decided since the X-Phones are generally about an hour long, we'd release them as standalone episodes. Hopefully nobody minds this format change, but if you do... well... tough. :)

This week we've got on IDW Publishing Senior Editor Andy Schmidt. You may ask yourself, what the heck does IDW have to do with the X-Cast? Well, Andy edited the X-Men over at Marvel for about five years. That's what! We talk with Andy about his days with the X-Men, dealing with the "where's Kitty Pryde??" problem, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Peter David and Fallen Angel, friend of the show and artistic genius Robert Atkins, and a bunch of other editorial-esque stuff. Hope you enjoy and we'll be back with a regular episode soon!
