The Falcon And The Winter Soldier spoiler special was a little shorter than usual (it was barely an hour long; what a disgrace), we barely scratched the surface of the listener questions you lovely lot sent in. So, in this bonus episode, Chris Hewitt, Helen OHara, and Ben Travis jettison the kazoos and the singing and the daftness to open the mailbag and dive right in, answering (as best as they can) your questions about episode 4 of FAWS, and the show in general.
