Special guest Bryan Sours (Soursound transformers) joins us for an epic talk all about transformers!

Note: This is the longest episode of TAVA to date, and one of the most information-rich. I didn't attempt to make complete show notes for all the topics Bryan covered as it would be impossibly long. For our listeners who like to get into the weeds, this episode is for you. Dive in.
