NOTE: When recording this podcast the internet connection was not the best. The podcast is such a goodie I was still going to post it. My  recording decided to loose the last 5 mins so I have to improvise, so I know the last 5 mins sounds a bit different to the rest of the audio in this podcast....it is such a good one. I know you will enjoy it.
