For the sake of Gow’s ego (he is sat here as I write this) the podcast is back to full force with his return this week.
His head is now that inflated im not sure I’m going to be able to squeeze his fat head out of the door tonight.
To be fair, he’s joined the realm of mac fanbois, I’d question his sexuality if he wasn’t sat in front of me. He’s got a satchel and everything.
Can you tell we’re rambling to make this fit? Ok, so this release is pretty awesome, even included some homebrew sound effects! We hope you enjoy it and, as always, We look forward to your response!
