This episode of the Bungie Studios Podcast includes a mountain of guests, and by mountain we mean 2. It's the last pre-Sketch and Frankie on vacation show, and the two of them go out with a long one. Environment Artist Lead Dave Dunn joins the crew and spins a whole mess of tales from some of Bungie's history. Podcast semi-regular Paul Bertone joins the fellas in the show waning moments to talk football and talk about beating me into a pulp in Campaign Scoring.

What makes a good producer? What does being a producer entail? Frank obviously has his take on it, but when we ask veteran producer and one of Bungie's leaders, Jonty Barnes he has a different take than our Scottish treat. With Paul Bertone off the grid in meetings, Jonty fills in (sort of) in a very special, and ne'er to be repeated version of the NFL Minute.
Special note: This show was recorded well before the announcement regarding Bungie Studios and our relationship with Microsoft. We'll talk about that on an upcoming show!

Bungie Podcast: 09/20/07
While we don't acknowledge it on the show, this Podcast is actually the year anniversary of the Bungie Podcast. To unknowingly commemorate that feat, Marty O'Donnell, Joe Staten and Web Dev Lead Chris Gossett take a turn on the mic. Chris talks extensively about the new Bungie.net and its robust featureset. Marty talks about the Halo 3 Soundtrack and Joe Staten catches us up on his book "Contact Harvest" and what he was doing in New Zealand last week.
Because it's the last show before Halo 3 launches, we made it super long, nearly two hours of chatter this week -- just think, that's two hours closer to actually buying Halo 3.
