    Hans Freiherr Geyr von Schweppenburg - Wikicast 128

    It's a delayed Christmas miracle! Simon managed to peel himself from parenting, and Dan from... lawyering?, long enough to record an episode. We talk Jingle Jam, films, music, books, parenthood, and HE HAS TWO FAKE LEGS??

    Tim Membrey - Wikicast 127

    Simon would like to apologise for the fact that this episode is *checks notes* FOUR MONTHS LATE. An awful lot has happened with the studio move and parenthood and about a million other things. Anyway, hear from the boys back in May talk surprisingly seriously about YouTube videos and completely lose it over a whole new genre of Australian music. We will be back with a more timely episode before long!
