Well we are nearing the end of our holiday episodes. We hope you have enjoyed listening to them as much as we have enjoyed making them.  

We cosy up in the library of Amanda’s parents house in Florida and try to get away from the post-Christmas noise to record today’s episode. On today’s episode we talk a lot about fowl and then Amanda has an inappropriate story that she shares with our listeners (our apologies for that now) and we also mention one of our favourite twitter sights Canadian Paintings

However you celebrate the holidays we wish you a calm and peaceful season and we are here for you and if you wanting to share the joy please tell people about The Insomnia Project.
