In this bitter-sweet episode Def is hyped up to sizzle the space opera that is Arcs. It is also his final sizzle as he announces that he is leaving the podcast. So in honour of Def's departure, some of the original BBQ crew return to say goodbye.

Def has been such an integral part of the podcast since its inception over four years ago, and his insightful musings about this hobby will be sorely missed. Best of luck, Def. We love you, mate.
