Public Service Podcasting

After 12 months away from the table, the three twits return to dissect, analyse and mull over the band's latest offering:'Night Flight'. Expect analysis, mild disagreement, unnecessary tangents, and the reassuring sense that, despite the hiatus, absolutely nothing has been streamlined. Normal service, eventually, resumed.
