For the final episode of 2014 for the Loading Screen Podcast I talk to Rachel Weil (partytimehexcellent, FEMICOM). We discuss NES ROM hacking, Hello Kitty, and a bunch of other really rad stuff.

DISCLAIMER: I'd like to apologize for the audio quality of this episode. There was a problem that I didn't catch during recording where segments of audio cut out. I decided to leave this stuff in because it still has some valuable / interesting info. I'm hoping to boost the quality of future episode in 2015, but I hope you enjoy this one.
