What a year! At the end of 2020 we can’t even gather people in a pub to talk about how terrible it was. Well we can. But we shouldn’t. So we didn’t. We did this instead.

It’s hard to believe that the first episode of this podcast was recorded in 2010. Welcome to the Recycled Edict — the first of a few episodes gathering up some of the least-worst bits.
