#8 Jon St. John
Few voices in this world are as iconic as legendary badass Duke Nukem. Jon St. John, the man behind that voice and many others, is also a musician. He took an hour out of a busy press day to chat with us about Duke, voices, music, and the F word.
Jon was in San Francisco with a 3D Realms crew promoting their new game, Bomshell, where Jon adds the villain, Heskell, to his long list of video game voice credits. ProfRobot was sick with food poisoning, so he was Skyped in to the conversation.
Appearing on the sidelines of this episode is Apogee co-founder Scott Miller, the father of shareware gaming, designer/publisher of such titles as Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D.
