Well its been a while since I last had to do a podcast solo, unfortunately this week Gow was ill.
The one thing that has to be said – what the hell??
I remember that in the early episodes we would have trouble filling an hour when both of us were on form.
Now the podcasts last nearly 2 hours at the best of times and even when recording solo I’m pushing the 1hr mark.
Hopefully next week we will be back up to full strength, and as always links to everything in this episode are below.
So without further stalling for space, enjoy the cast
