Now with added Valentine!

The best just got 50% better, Orbital Mechanics welcome an extra host; Valentine. Can he take the pace? He fits the show real well, so best of luck mate.

These guys!

Great content, excellent attitude and energy - not too sedate, not sensationalism at all. Great work guys, keep it up. Those dulcet tones..!
