Last show of the year. Another long one this time.

 

For this special show we pulled together as many of the guests who have appeared on this show during 2008 and have as many as we can on at the same time. We have a great time around asking them to respond to the same statement :

 

“* When I think about 2008 The thing that comes to mind is …………”

 

Here’s what happens, along with the usual great discussion and some unusual seasonal merryment courtesy of Silkcharm and my sharing a Christmas easter-egg on Flickr.

 

I’d like to personally thank all the supporters of the show .. and thank our listener for sticking by us.

 

Peace.

 

Enjoy!

   Really shonky audio this show. Could barely hear Laurel she was so muffled and far too much typing and rustling noises over the top… even heavy breathing. Could those not talking not mute their mics?

   A shame, it sounded like it was going to be an interesting show but I just couldn’t get to the end.

   Tom. Yeah Laurel was on a Skype phone her end and so didn’t have control over volume as we’d like and that’s the problem with doing these Skype conference type recordings as all the sources get mixed together and not much can do after.

   Good point about the muting, most of typing was me I think. Sorry, will try improve those in future.

   No worries Dave. I listened to the end on my PC rather than iPod and it was much better… the iPod audio must have exacerbated it.

   Happy New Year!
