We are still working through some of our audio kinks from the first episode - hope to improve with each 'cast! We didn't get the time to rework our audio bits and bobs so that's been pushed into a future episode. Give us a listen and let us know how we're doing - feedback makes us better. Thanks for stopping by!  -Splicepoint and the rest of the gang.
