Tom& Veronica,

Just started listening & rather enjoying the show. Still catching up on a few back episodes to get the feel of things and somewhat shockingly found you scoring easy laughs at the expense of my nation’s heritage … yes, I’m Australian.

GREAT WORK!! Love a little mongrel on my podcasters.

Great content on the sci-fi and fantasy genre(s), too.

Thanks guys!

Charlie C

  • @WizChic I loved it! Felt like a whole season in one episode.
  • @oldman916 Lots of headlines mis-stating that the release date is Oct. 25. It's the media that's confused.
  • Frame Rate begins soon, right now we're talking about squirrels and pigeons in the TWiT chat room http://t.co/KgxxBdQb
