X-Band: The Phantom Podcast #101 - Politics and The Phantom
There are times, it is said, when The Phantom should stay out of politics. Our guest in Episode 101 would vehemently disagree! Robert Aman may not yet be a big name in Phantom circles, but the chat we had with him in the podcast may well be one of the most fascinating in the history of X-Band.
