Is there a live broadcast tonight?
You typically have good broadcasts and I enjoy listening to them. Perhaps though you could clip out the start where you talk about your personal lives? Make it something like BBC’s Discovery introduction. In other words a quick reminder about who you are with theme music followed by the ‘toc’. I know you guys may enjoy talking with each other. Also know you are following the typical pod format. However getting to the point and keeping on point would put you out in front of the legions of podcasters.
