* Unfortunately, I left my microphone on the desk rather than pinned to me, so for the first sections Sonny's voice is a little echoey and low quality. This ends at 00.07.45 and does not reoccur.

Episode notes:
Apologies for the slight inconsistencies in levels, but if you set sound to the intro you should have a comfortable listening experience throughout.
There is some rustling at the very start of Chris's intro (my mic got caught in my beard) this lasts no longer than 15 seconds and is not repeated.
Teaser for the podcast's first episode.
Please, stay with us this is also a technical test prior to the first episode.
Thanks,
