Turns out that just because Tom likes a book, doesn’t mean Veronica will (she kinda hated it). But we learned a lot about paranoia, and Polish communism. So it’s not a total loss. Meanwhile we have determined that the podcast should be a once a month affair. So get ready for regularity! We’ll be like the monthly bran in your reading diet. And we hope to have interviews. With real people. And some robots.

The original posting of this episode failed overnight. I;ve fixed the url in the last post but that’s not working for some in iTunes. So the easiest fix is to re=post 143 again here. Apologies to all who get dupes of the ep.
