Ralph here. An important note is that this podcast was recorded before the sudden and tragic passing of Lance Reddick, film and television star and the voice of many iconic videogame characters including Commander Zavala of Destiny. I'm in the tower right now paying tribute to him as I write this and it's incredibly moving to see so many guardians gather to pay their respects. They're not saluting a videogame avatar; they're saluting a person who brought so much joy to others, one who was a true master of his craft and a thoroughly decent human being. RIP Lance. You will be greatly missed.--Listen to the Friends Per Second Podcast here or on your podcast platform of choice: https://linktr.ee/friendspersecond.
