Episode 21: Two Podcasts Walk into a Bar . . .

(aka The Podcast Comes of Age)

James Ran a Marathon

James the Soundguy ran a marathon. It has nothing to do with this podcast, but since James the Soundguy also writes the summaries for the podcast and uploads all the stuff, he can get away with shameless self-promotion such as this.

Kyle and Brian are joined by Soundguy James and they cover such weighty topics as:

  • Is James irregular or just semi-regular?
  • Brian got hit by the ID-Ten-T virus
  • Kyle’s travel diary, hover bikes and massive halls
  • James passes an exam!
  • Brian reveals Kyle’s dirty little secret
  • Getting started on your exam path and how to study
  • Brian gets chuffed-or maybe he doesn’t-nobody really knows
  • Windows S, the new RT?
