Embrace the chaos: Mike, Jon & Jamie on the Escapuzzled podcast

A few months ago we were guests on the Escapuzzled podcast with Corey and Helena. The original, booze filled episode was over 2 hours long (the recording was twice that again!). Here's the second half of that interview, where we go into the puzzle making process, designing games for audio and generally how we embrace chaos in all we do.
Enjoy!
