As a quick production note, this episode was recorded at the Tucson Comi-Con in the green room. Unfortunately, I didn\\u2019t have my normal mics, so this was recorded using lapel mics. I think it is absolutely listenable but you can hear a bit of room noise throughout the interview. Now, without further ado, here is my conversation with Tracy, for more information about NuroLux go nurolux.com.

Enjoy the show.
