We are now on iTunes

You can now get us on *pple's iTunes! Get it here!

New year, New season, New episode, New address, New feed, New me.

We’re back after our extended summer holidays. As we were away for so long, we’ve called this “season 2”! 

We now have some different (better) delivery options. We’re hosted at www.podbean.com – our address there is http://uer.podbean.com. You can get our RSS feed for your favourite podcast software there, or at the end of episode postings like this one that'll continue to be available here also. We should also be arriving, like a stale smell wafting in through the kitchen window, on iTunes soon.
