I had forgotten just how funny this podcast is, the final episode was a couple of years ago, but I've just listened to all 50 episodes again, ok they were a bit ropey in the middle, but the first 20 were superb. They were packed with geeky SF references, but that wasn't why I liked them, it was partly the music which was inspired, but mostly the dry cynical humour. I wish they would make a new series, but I doubt they will. Anyway here's a URL if you'd like a try. EHC

Lurking in the IRC channels for SN this week has been a fantastic experience.
Being exposed to experts ( and idiots ) with arcane bits of knowledge, not to mention the bread recipes has certainly added to my knowledge.
The best conclusion I have drawn though is that a skilled and dedicated team can achieve the near impossible, if they don't mind doing without sleep; I'm impressed.
