In this episode, Mike tells us about the odd shortwave radio stations that broadcast seemingly endlessly repeating, random numbers, spoken by odd, automated voices and we get to listen to some snippets from a couple of well known ones.

We also talk about how awesome Christopher Lee was, How Game of Thrones and Lost failed to deliver on their promise, and whether or not snakes have eyelids… Spoiler - theeeeyyyyyy… well, just listen in and find out.
