We have some sad news for you. We recorded a fantastic episode (106) however, it appears that the memory card on our recorder failed near the end of the show and we may have lost the whole thing. We are currently working on recovering the data but at the moment things aren’t looking good. If it can be saved the episode will be out as soon as it’s recovered.
