What CAN it all mean... If anything!  Our next e...

Here we are for episode 277! We're back for our LIVE Pride48 show - but this time we're a week late due to the P48 NOLA event...

A little advert for our 300th episode - coming sometime in the autumn. We're a bit early, I admit - but it'll get you in the mood... Bettina Du Pres and Dameus Twinklehorn - the wedding of the year!?! Here's hoping! This advert first appeared on episode 273 of the show.
