July 28, 2008

Hi all,

In this episode I try Choco Aztec Spice tea from Yogi Tea, then I have a nice chat with Ron Blackwell, Lin Harper, Paul Fischer and Martha Holloway(gosh, that’s a lot of people).We also hear from an unexpected guest, Qito.

After the chat, I talk a little bit about the new Batman movie as well as encouraging you to visit the forums and check out Sarah Haskin’s Target Women.

Enjoy!

Tea and Chat Episode 12

July 21, 2008

Hi all,

In this episode, I’m a very unwell podcaster. I still manage to say a few words (I did, however, also manage to delete part of the show). I hope you will all forgive me and I promise I’ll be back on form next week :)

Thanks!

Tom Smith Fund Raiser

July 17, 2008

So, Tom Smith hurt himself badly getting on to a stage last month. As a result of the injury he needed surgery and probably won’t be able to walk until autumn. He doesn’t have insurance to cover it…

For more details on what happened you can check out this livejournal entry

Anyway to help combat the cost of this, a fund raiser has been started. If you donate you can help Tom with the (I imagine) considerable costs. People who donate also get to download a huge collection of covers of Tom’s songs. This is where my spare cash is going this month.

Check out this great gaming song:

Can you feel the awesome!?!

July 10, 2008

My copies of Murky Depths have arrived. I’ve read the promo issue and I’m very impressed. The physical quality of the magazines is great. They are both bigger and shiner than I thought they’d be.

Behold!
