Ok, so it's too late to be saying "Happy New Year!" so I'll cool it to a cursory -- and factually accurate -- "Here's the first edition of The Prog Files for 2023."

If nothing else, I suspect it's good for your mental health. Hey, and why not walk the dog while you're at it? Get 2023 off to a flying start, whydontcha? Boomshanka.

And so it came to pass. From the distant land of Progwallador, beyond the Mountains of the Morose, came a strange and wonderous sound. "Hark, what is that magical noise?" asked the elven folk. "Why," replied the wizard, "'tis none other that October's edition of The Prog Files!" And lo, there was much muttering under the breath. And lo, there was much downloading and streaming for October's edition of The Prog Files was, as the legend foretold, rather good. Why not download it to your own kingdom? And while you're at it, October is National Hug An Orc Month. Really. Search it up.

Hi everyone. Not going to make a big song and dance about this one. Doesn't seem appropriate with the mood in the UK. So I'll just say that September's edition of The Prog Files is available now for streaming and downloading. Hope you enjoy it.
