<p>Basically what happened was that Tom Thom(p)son and I recorded the podcast on Wednesday evening. I had already recorded Luigi from Spain.</p>
<p>I saved everything, went to bed, but on Thursday I was unable to find the final part which was about 13' long. I searched high and low but could not find it. I did find 'temp' files which contained most of it but ultimately I was unable to piece it together to complete it.</p>
<p>So I wasn't going to put up half a podcast. Sorry for the delay in letting you know - I was trying to see if I could fix it but it was to no avail. We'll be back on track next week.</p>
