Click here for Episode 6 - Back in Stride again!

This week we're a bit late. Our reason is that the Dr had a an unfortunate family loss.
The release date of this episode will be Saturday 17th Dec rather than our regular Monday.
I-Tunes and other engines will automatically be updated by our podcast feed file.

This week we believe that the Dr and Prof got their groove back but unfortunately Master Move was away leaving the Dr to feel like an octopus!

In part 1 of the snippets and reviews of new items or nearly new we reviewed the new Richard Elliot CD on the new Artizen label entitled Metro Blue.
